for fans of dream pop – this album is so beautiful but so depressing so I can’t listen to it often 😅 it reminds me a lot of a time when I felt super lonely and isolated but I think it makes me reflect on how much has changed for the better too. but anyway I just think the songs are good :)

there is something so cool about this unspoken juxtaposition rule in the more psychologically volatile genres, where the lyrics are bleak and anxious, always tapping into darker territory, but the melody remains beautiful and oddly comforting. i have been re-looping lots of carissa’s wierd - songs about leaving lately, and now this thought refuses to leave me alone. idk!!!! it’s just such a common case where something viscerally crushing happens to produce the most tender and fragile sounds, and i know it is a bit of a cornplate-level observation, but i have been pondering a lot about this

i listened to this a ton at the end of high school when i was scared and angsty about going to college, and now when i hear it i can feel the same pit in my stomach, remember the long drive and the weather when i moved out. something about this album is uplifting but intensely lonely at the same time.

I remember listening to this song a lot when the album came out, was going through something difficult mentally. The lyrics “flower moon, curse the night, if the sun don’t make things right, then it’s gonna take a year, gonna take a yearrrrr!”, especially at the end sung by Steve Lacy really helped and resonated in a both poignant and optimistic way. So good.

finally using my portable CD player again to listen to my favorite album that isn't on any streaming services anymore!! it's so fun to have physical copies of media I like, and it was great to not use my phone for once (though the CD would pause every time I accidentally bumped into the player while I was walking to class; it was kind of charming but also pretty annoying).

After watching the new Eddy Burback video I have been inspired to delete every evil application from my phone so I can actually live my life. I have had Instagram for almost nine years now, so it felt very powerful to delete it <3

my roommate and I were making a list earlier of movies we wanted to watch, which made me think of how many books and video games and albums I have on my lists that I just haven’t gotten around to. (let alone my hobbies like learning guitar or studying languages or doing creative stuff!!!) which also made me realize.. if I put off things that I WANT to do, what have I been doing with my time then??? Scrolling social media??? I’ve lost so much time endlessly scrolling my phone, and I think it’s time I get around to all of those pieces of art and hobbies and experiences I’ve been putting off. And, on that note… I should go to sleep so I can enjoy tomorrow instead of feeling tired and unmotivated. Goodnight PI, I hope you all listen to some good music tomorrow. Xoxo Isaac
