Nightmare

this is so beautiful it made me cry, thank you for this!

wanted to share the sophie tribute art i did, to me there's nothing more iconic that her album cover for oil

 

This is a really small and stupid thing but I have been meaning to buy the Product vinyl collection for ages now, like its been in my wantlist on Discogs for ages but I never got round to it cause they were pretty commonly available for the price the originally sold for and I tend to prioritise vinyl in my collection which is rare/could become rare so I don't have to spend loads on it down the line. I literally have had Sophies vinyl in my Discogs cart for like a month now and as soon as this happens, they all sell out and now people are selling copies for like £145 and up when most of them went for around £12-£20 the other day. It is making me sick, not because I can't get them anymore but purely because people are making bank off of her death. It is disgusting and I wish there was a way to report it on Discogs. I am so glad I got my OOEPUI vinyl at the time, I will literally never part with it now.

same! after reading her latest response on instagram i began to feel a little bit sorry. i’m sure she’s not fully in the right in this whole situation but i think it’s time we gotta accept the reality and stop harassing her and just let her be. she’s unlucky, something is going on behind the scenes that we’ll never know. let’s just stop with all this nonsense and leave her alone. there’s nothing much we can do anymore. if the music is gonna come out we’ll listen and that’s it, i guess

I never heard of Sophie before. I'm not into electronic or DJ type music. I read the comments here and looked into some of Sophie's videos. This reminds of when David Bowie and Chris Cornell died. I was devastated and cried everyday for both men for like a year. I still cry sometimes if I hear one of their songs or watch a video. I can only imagine what Sophie's fans are going through right now, so my condolences to all of you here.

“Tonight, we’re in paradise, soaring through the sky, seeing pink and white...”
 

I know she is completely broken from this. SOPHIE is the reason Charli is the artist she is today; Charli found herself in SOPHIE’s music and SOPHIE’s music will always be a part of Charli. We are all hurting so bad, I can’t even imagine how Charli and SOPHIE’s close friends feel 

not to be that girl on such a tragic day but kitty kat just leaked...

its just so heartbreaking that we'll never get another chance to deep dive into her mind like we did with product and oil. a huge force in pop music was lost and it truly hurts to think about a future without her. she was so meticulous about her craft and we were all so lucky to get to experience it 

Rest in peace angel...

Here's a tiny piece from an assignment I had to write today for my English course on a writing that's affected us recently: 
 
"SOPHIE, a music producer I’ve known for years now, had passed away early in the morning. I began reading the dozens of writings from her close friends to fans to music critics, each of them intertwined with distraught and empowerment of her being. I felt liberated from the sadness I had held onto and instead started to empower her memory as well and honor the work she’s left behind. People’s words they left for her helped me realize that this is not a situation to feel sorry for her, this is a situation to share her mind with others and thank her for being as powerful as she was."

Her passing has weighed heavy on my mindset today, combined with other things, it's kind of made me feel a desire that I hadn't recognized before. I hope she's on the ethereal plane we all hope to get to one day.

@1000Times 
Wish I could, I could've said goodbye
I would've said what I wanted to
Maybe even cried for you
If I knew it would be the last time
I would've broke my heart in two
Tryna save a part of you Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name fallin' off my lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No, I'll never love again
I'll never love again, oh, oh, oh, oh When we first met
I never thought that I would fall
I never thought that I'd find myself
Lying in your arms, mm, mm
And I wanna pretend that it's not true
Oh, baby, that you're gone
'Cause my world keeps turnin', and turnin', and turnin'
And I'm not movin' on Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name fallin' off my lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No, I'll never love I don't wanna know this feelin'
Unless it's you and me
I don't wanna waste a moment, ooh
And I don't wanna give somebody else the better part of me
I would rather wait for you, ooh Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
Baby, unless they are your lips Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Don't let another day begin
Won't let the sunlight in
Oh, I'll never love again
Never love again
Never love again
Oh, I'll never love again  
 

The bells from I Wanna Be With U keeps resonating in my head ever since i heard about her passing, such a sweet and endearing but also euphoric production. It's the music equivalent of ascending to heaven, SOPHIE was a musical genius. I don't think i need to mention that her energy, especially with Charli, was unmatched. What a loss for the art world. I really hope Charli is doing ok, such heartbreaking news could damage her mental health forever. 

I really can’t believe this.. it’s so heartbreaking & surreal. She’s truly the most unique producer + artist I’ve seen since Björk. The way she breathed new life into pop music is so special and I’ll never forget her or stop listening to her music... I’m so heartbroken that she’s gone. I couldn’t cry last night before bed because I was trying to convince myself it wasn’t true / she’d be okay. Now I’m fighting off tears at work. This is truly such a devastating loss for the LGBT+ community and the music industry...  
 
rest in peace + power, queen of the full moon ♥️?

Made a little portrait as a tribute to her. She will forever live in my heart.

it feels so weird to me i actually kinda processed that she's gone BUT i feel devastated everytime i see someone refferencing to her in the *past* tense... she IS the icon she IS the industry she IS the pioneer she IS the inspiration i just refuse to refference to her in the past tense, because of her art she and her legacy will live forever, there's no past tense for SOPHIE, she's here and now forever

I love this video. 

WHO ARE YOU? OUT THERE. I WANNA KNOW! ?
 

i cannot stop crying. i am so devastated. may she rest in power.

She showed the world that pop music isn’t an artificial and brainless genre. She showed us that it has a soul, with multiple dimensions and textures. And literally created a new genre of music with that.

the fact she's gone is just so surreal, I can't believe this

She really deserved so much better, her influence and talent went so unappreciated. XCX World never got to see the light of day and her work with Gaga got scrapped because people weren’t ready to embrace her artistry, it’s sickening. 

I think it would be really respectful in the futur to never mention Taxi or XCX World to Charli ever again. Yes it became a meme inside the fanbase, but it will now be attached to Sophie's terrible passing and for her to receive messages remembering the lost of her friend would be awful
Edit: And to Sophie's fan too as seeing these messages will remember them of Sophie's passing
