joan of arc - layth

i feel like trashy synth music has made a huge comeback due to the economic state of our country and i’m just truly here for it. “i know a girl… and yeah she’d rock ur world. modern day joan of arc!”

SONGS IM LISTENING TO PART 2

can we normalize not knowing genres or the nitty gritty of why you like a song and accept that some people just like it based on vibes? (it’s me. i’m some people) -“From The Start” by Good Kid covers often are hit or miss, but this is an absolute banger. somehow combining the jazz of the orginal Laufey tune with indie rock is everything anyone could possibly need and more. plus the indie rock makes the heartthrob of the lyrics hit so much harder. the delivery of the lyrics is just 👌 it’s just the perfect song to belt out and i love it so much -“Saturday Sun” by Vance Joy indie folk!!! highly recommend!!! this shit is amazing!! the good vibes and the hope this song brings is just it.  something something being in love and being happy. this song is just great -“About A Girl” by Nirvana I really like grunge rock apparently. depressing grunge rock. and this is depressing as shit. just- it- yeah i don’t even know what to say about this song. it’s great and sad and- yeah yay! unhealthy relationships! (ahhhhhh) -“Silver Springs” by Fleetwood Mac i already posted about Rumours, but this is my favorite off the album, and it’s not even actually on the original album. passing this over for “I Don’t Want To Know” was certainly a choice, but i wasn’t alive in 1977 so what do i care? (i love both songs) in terms of the actual song, i don’t have a marriage that’s coming to a tulmoltuous end, but the feminine rage emitted from this song is everything. if you ain’t singing your heart out in the second half, you’re doing it wrong.

alanis morissette - supposed former infatuation junkie

the way i could write a world-changing 33 1/3 about this album!!! oh my goodness. (this is the kind of album you write after achieving meteoric pop success if you are a serious person, in case any inescapably famous singer-songwriters are taking notes.) but for real -- this album is at once a perfectly-preserved late 90s time capsule (neurotic, stylish, a hint of a sneer, but real hope underwriting it all) and also secretly about us, right now, in the year of our lord 2024. it's fierce and smart and darkly hilarious. it's about going to therapy and getting your dad to go to therapy, and then feeling weird imagining the kind of dark shit your dad must be working through in therapy. it’s about trying to search for the divine while watching a bunch of idiot rich people get influenced into paying $2000 for like past life regression readings or whatever and feeling weird about the idea that they’re searching for the same divine you are, because if they’re looking for it too then it can’t possibly be the real thing, can it? it’s about being the bright young thing who wrote jagged little pill and suddenly finding all of your interpersonal relationships totally unworkable because everybody is too blinded by the brightness of the young thing who wrote jagged little pill to let you also be a human being. it’s about feeling so old already at 24 and looking back on your teenage self at a tender distance as if those days were a lifetime ago, as if you’re actually any wiser now. it’s about wondering if anything you will ever do is ever, ever going to be good enough. alanis’s lyrics here are biting and precocious and the songs are just so chatty (witness “front row” in which she layers four entire extra verses behind the chorus, effectively writing a whole bonus song because the situation is just too complicated to explain in four minutes) and they’re talking about all the same things we talk about now, in the same way we talk about them now, except without all the self-serious posturing so many of our contemporary songwriters fall prey to. (“the couch” is somehow both the most earnest and the least corny song anybody has ever written about therapy.) i know this album must have hit properly when it came out because it was the only thing my mom played in our house for the entire calendar year of 1999, but it feels so preternaturally tailor-made for the moment we’re in now that i can’t believe it hasn’t had one of those improbable tiktok renaissances or whatever that seem to keep happening. highly recommend a revisit or a first acquaintance if you haven’t made one.

seeing someone before they see you

there’s something so funny about seeing a friend before they notice you cause it’s like a look into what they’re like alone seeing how they walk when they’re by themselves or their expression when they’re just going about or looking around

SEND GOOD LUCK MY WAY PLS

got an exam tomorrow that i’m naturally feeling awful about but am i allowed to luck farm 🤲🤲🤲 i need all that i can get it like an exam for my final grade for the subject for the year so pretty much it could matter but if i don’t badly i’ll say it won’t but the thing that like i’m upfront worried about is having to actually do it like if i sit down and can’t do any of the essay options (theres like 5 to choose from but that’s not as kind as it sounds cause they’re all pretty specific and difficult) that would be like the worst thing ever so yay
