can't think in terms of diff art mediums rn but i have this idea of ātwin songsā, ie songs that just belong together in my mind for whatever reason? like phases by blaize jenkins and you are mine by mutemath. i know you by faye webster and smoke signals by phoebe bridgers. to wish impossible things by the cure and when the sun hits by slowdive. lovers rock by tv girl & in the city by chromatics. it's endless tbh but fun to think about
good god does it make listening to the entire album in order worth somethingā¦! some examples iāve encountered, but please let me know of any others that youāve noticed⦠coup ā> flatline (speed run - frost children) honestly iām not sure if this one does it or if itās just immediately on beat on the next song lol
but itās better if you do ā> i write sins not tragedies (a fever you canāt sweat out - panic! at the disco) best friends ā> is there someone else? (dawn fm - the weeknd)
cherry-couloured funk - cocteau twins
first breath after coma - explosions in the sky
lips of ashes - porcupine tree
windowpane - opeth
summer and lightning - electric light orchestra
retrovertigo - mr. bungle
song on the beach - arcade fire
remember - jayomi
best friend - mellow fellow
notes to you - sleep party people
reading, writing and arithmetic is one of my favorite albums so itās a high iāve been chasing for years. i feel like itās very hard to replicate 1:1 but hereās some things that personally evoke similar feelings. the cardigans 1994 album emmerdale - sweet vocals + running through fields vibes for sure faye wongās ECO PACK-ēč²-ęµ®čŗ- light hearted basslines and playful melodies alice phoebe lou- any of her work, really. not an exact match sonically, but thereās a similar sense of whimsy in her voice and lyricism. this song by hey cowboy! tiger trapās 1993 self titled- a similar sense of atmospheric cheekiness, but faster in a lot of parts with much fuzzier guitars.
yes i can write, study, sing, cook, talk better but why do i have to every time?? why is better always desirable? why do i have to prove the true depths of my talents & capabilities w every little project??
