Rec'd on 🎵 What’s a lyric that’s Recently impacted you?
I HAD NEVER LOOKED UP THE LYRICS TO DREAM GIRL EVIL BY FLORENCE + THE MACHINE UNTIL LIKE LAST WEEK
I'm going to be honest I could listen to most songs about 100 times and never notice the lyrics if I don't look them up. I think this is probably because of my background playing an instrument I tend to focus more on the melody and rhythm. I was listening to this and thought about a couple of bits of the lyrics that jumped out at me and I was like blown away lol it's very profound and relatable especially right now as I’m working through some things. I'm sure it resonates with so many women who’ve experienced being idealized, placed on a pedestal so high in the air that they’re lonely and not engaged with or respected on a human level, and the inevitable devaluation that follows. not to sound emo or melodramatic…

embrace your Fantasy of eternal girlhood
I've never been a Swifty but Mollie Adler's talk where she analyzes Taylor Swift's Tortured Poet’s Department from the perspective of depth psychology. In the intro she says: “Central to our exploration is something called the Puella aeterna archetype, Latin for the eternal girl. This archetype is marked by innocence, spontaneity and a reluctance to embrace the complexes of adulthood." Where the fairytale romance is real, your feelings matter and empires can be built out of the drama of a girl's heart. mush mush lush 😆 Listen to it https://open.spotify.com/episode/2q92Fvf1sPOOcaFMY1lyu3?si=TLRoBtWiSAegNBcHFHlntQ&nd=1&dlsi=b2bafbe5bd8a4c21

Oh Land - "Renaissance Girls"
Obviously not all of me, but the sarcastic semi-aspirational tone to this song is a VIBE. From the first listen, it's very clearly expressed all my frustrations with society and the constant pressure to perform, as a girl/woman/supposedly softer gender but also like, acknowledging just how a girl does do it all. <3

Never changing
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
