I just don't vibe with this album anymore. She has a great voice; I've heard songs from her newer albums, but I can't listen to this specific album anymore. Too whiny for me?
It's hard to explain.
I don't think enough people are aware of Lana Del Rey's unreleased songs. Overflowing with songs like diamonds, glimmering, taking over you. I live with those songs, Lizzy Grant, Trailer Park Princess, Jump Rope Queen. I listen to them constantly, because there's no other type of music that understands me.
Listen to her unreleased songs, and start on SoundCloud. I promise you, your life will be worth living. Dope shit like that, y'know. There's nothing better than music that changes your mind. Did she put crack in Go Go Dancer? Probs
heart-wrenching โ horny โ iconoclastic. i managed to get my hands on the indie-exclusive translucent red vinyl (i don't even own a record player!). the visuals are daring, raw... she really bared it all. her album concepts are always so innovative. the Solar Power music box (an all-paper eco-friendly alternative to a CD box) was stunning. i'm constantly inspired by her to lean harder in my authenticity, and move to the be at of my own drum. trust your instincts. look back on who you were as a kid: everything was always there. @LORDE i love you
She's a sexy little mama
Just like her daddy taught her
She don't seem the same
Since she working on the corner
Hope she don't fade away
Hope she find another lover
Two weeks ago, I went to the museum and fell in love with this exhibition. Calida Rawles is fascinated with water and considers it a space for Black healing. She often uses it in her portraits because of its cultural and historical symbolisms; as water signifies a physical and spiritual healing and historical trauma. These portraits are based on my hometown, Miami's history, specifically Overtown. Overtown was a neighborhood that was a thriving cultural and commercial hub that had been systemically gentrified over the years. The figures in these paintings are actual residents of Overtown and shot in the waters of Virginia Key beach (which was once historically designated for Black people only. It's a beautiful and slightly heartbreaking exhibition. A mixture of seeing a sense of cleansing/healing, but also being reminded of all those who were thrown overboard during the Transatlantic slave trade. A kind of haunting. I've attached one of my favorite photos (cause I don't know how to add more yet) and a link to her website. Her work is truly beautiful!
I'm truly obsessed. I played Oxenfree briefly when it first came out,but since I was using it on my phone, I found it annoying to navigate. So, I forgot this game existed until recently. It's so good! Time loops, grieving, and ghosts. I've been trying to find books that match those specific vibes but it's been unsuccessful. I just love the idea of time loops being physical manifestation of one's grief.
