nowadays i associate the newest hozier album with my ex (which is a problem bc im going to see this guy perform next month ill get over it somehow 😭) BUT nobody can tear away how important this album was to me in 2019!!! like it was a very transitional period of my life (end of 8th/beginning of 9th grade) and the pure joy for music and life and diversity and love found in this album kinda helped with all that change baby-me was going thru! plus the music slaps, like it's hozier what do you want.

such a tender and fun time... could just be looped in with that era of indie rock but there was something so distinct about it (twee? sparkly? childlike? maybe that's my own perception of its influence on me at the time?) someone still loves you boris yeltsin, freelance whales, clap your hands say yeah, midlake, islands, rogue wave, throw me the statue ETC!!!! i feel like i'm puking at homecoming bc my ex bf is grinding with my best friend and i am going home to burn a CD about it!!!!!

1 of 2 albums I can think of at the top of my mind that I listened to in its entirety. This takes me back to that summer in 2013 when I was listening to this album non-stop along w some indie songs I discovered thru 8tracks (I don’t know if anyone else will know this site, it was a gem). Also it was the time of my life I was just getting to know freedom from being able to travel solo and/or w friends or just discovering life. Akin to a coming-of-age movie. 😅 I don’t know if I make sense.

first thing that comes to mind that feels of the time is all the vitamin string quartet covers I was obsessed with lolololol I should get back into those!! Also loved Hozier, Laura Gibson (LOVED her—listened to skin, warming skin on repeat), of mice and men, mumford and sons, band of horses, Lorde, the black keys, FOB, Panic!, All Time Low, a little 21 pilots, a little MCR, Halsey, and the Beatles (especially early in high school and especially the songs featured in across the universe (2007) but I also loved paperback writer for some reason). Very tail end of my senior year I got more into broadway and was obsessed with everything from Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 (which was SNUBBED for the Tony by dear evan Hansen 🤮) Didn’t do a lot of country, was mostly into country in elementary and middle school, then got back into it after graduating college, both from nostalgia and from a desire to preserve that part of me when I decided to move to the east coast. The first ones I mentioned were from streaming(not a lot since unlimited data wasn’t a thing for me at the time and my parents also weren’t paying for Spotify for me so the ads were annoying), my iTunes library, YouTube to mp3 files I put on my phone back when it was easier to do that, and CDs. But I also liked the hard rock and classic rock stations on the radio for my drives to and from school. Spotify also tells me I liked death cab for cutie and needtobreathe more than I remembered lol
