I love this question — I exclusively gravitate towards songs that make me cry. Here’s a rec that always makes my heart ache (the composition is stunning imo)
*thirteen by big star
*father and son by cat stevens
*you are your mother's child by conor oberst
*fake plastic trees by radiohead
*i know by fiona apple
*the body is a blade by japanese breakfast
*a burning hill by mitski
*bookends theme by simon and garfunkel
*i belong to you by brandi carlile yes i have a crying playlist
I don't know when I first heard this song, sometime in the last 3 or 4 years or so. I’m pretty sure the spotify algorithm fed it to me (ik spotify bad, but they have luckily programmed my algorithm almost perfectly..)🫣 I instantly fell in love. I had no idea who Margo Guryan was, but I loved her voice and the simplicity of the song.🕊️ I would listen to it over and over and over again on my drives home from my 9-5 office job. I was living in Richmond, VA at the time and was the most depressed I had been in my whole life. Almost every drive home from work I would cry, except the days when I turned on Why Do I Cry lol. I remember driving home and it was drizzling a bit, i sang along, (im a horrible singer) i would sing a harmony ina lower key and i thought it sounded pretty good (maybe one day i can cover this and sing with someone) a lot of the times when i listen to music i imagine a “music video” in my mind. She sings about only getting to spend one day a week with her lover. I visualized this fictional couple in my head laughing and loving and dancing around an apartment. I could go more in depth, but I'm not very good at expressing my ideas in a way that makes sense lol anyways so so beautiful…❣️🌧️💙😸I will write about Margo’s life eventually, but for no,w here are my thoughts #badasss 🤩🌼
If you love seals as much as I do, give Michael Boyd and Seal Rescue Ireland a follow on instagram (I love their content so much!) Here’s a photo of a mother seal and her baby that we took in Oak Bay Marina (Victoria, BC) 😊
immerse yourself in nature, wear green clothing, eat green foods, incorporate green into your home, etc — I can’t stress enough how calming and joyful the colour makes you feel
