Great song here by AVEC! I love how deep her voice is and that little bit of leather it has! This one has a great little tempo to it.
“And though, I still feel you, I hate that I still feel, I know we’ll never find our way to each other, ’cause we’re just too scared of what we don’t know, and I try to take the weight of this love off my shoulders, ’cause I know I’m better off dancing on my own”
Today’s my first day of summer vacation! Looking forward to using this summer to better myself.
This band is probably my favorite find of 2023 the more I listen to them. I just love the energy that they are bringing!
“I know a girl who spent a year and a half crying, in the bottom of a bathtub, it was really such a bad look, then on New Year’s Eve, someone yelled “ten, nine, eight”, everybody kissed, then she punched them in the face, woo”
“Called to the Devil and the Devil did come, I said to the Devil, “Devil, do you like drums?” do you like cigarettes, dominoes, rum?, he said, “only sundown, Sundays, Christmas”, some days end when I need a few friends, now and again, I could never hope to keep them, thought to give friends what I thought that they wanted, never had they needed a good friend as I’ve been, don’t get me venting on friends who resent you, ’cause all you’ve ever done is be a noose to hang on to, they thought was a necklace, and reckless, they fell into hell, where you both hang with nothing to do, scratch kick, let gravity win like, fuck this, let gravity win like, you could leave it all behind, even the Devil need time alone sometimes, you could let it all go, you could let it all go, it’s called free call, it’s called free fall”
This is a fun little two and a half minute folksy jaunt! I enjoy the percussion on this one! I’ve mentioned before sometimes it’s fun to do a listen through focusing on a certain instrument. Simple cymbal taps and bass hits. It’s great to build around.
Hope you’re well my friend! Maybe grab a 15 minute nap today. Recharge. Take that time for you.
I was struck by the number of this post as I sat down to write it. One-hundred-seventy-five days have passed since New Year’s Day? It was a blur.
Being the self-reflective sort, I asked myself in that moment…”are you happy with where you are? Have you reached any goals that you set for yourself back then?”
The obvious thing that popped into my head was “I’m overjoyed to see the blog is still happening on a daily basis!” In a way it’s both a measure of how busy/tired I am (short miniscule posts) and how introspective I am at times (deep dive into lyrics and their perceived meaning as it pertains to bettering the human race). These things ebb and flow like everything else. All things in balance!
In some ways though, I am disappointed. I am going to be gentle with myself here though, because this school year was a bear. Summer break is longed-for.
“I was in a quarter-life crisis and I couldn’t explain, I been feelin’ so different about all the same things, remember that summer that I shaved my head, just to prove that I had control over somethin’?, I played the Sims ’til I was 21, I had a little life that I always wanted, ’til you dragged me along to your best friend’s party, where the conversation always started with, “hey there, darlin’, did ya get your haircut?”, I think I cut damn near every last one of ’em, I’ll make jokes when I’ve been feelin’ uncomfortable, am I alright? I really think I’m in trouble”
I both need time for nothing and time for production with school coming to a close. I’m pondering a moto-camping journey somewhere. I had this big NYS tour planned…and even now part of me says SEIZE THE DAY regarding it…but another part of me feels like that would be shoe-horning it in because it’s something I want to do at some point. Just blockheaded stating “THIS SUMMER” when it’s probably not the best course of action, it just feels mostly “let the wind blow me where it may” longing for summer/freedom.
Part of me also says longing for things is the same as chasing them. I’m trying to be more in the moment on the day to day, so I don’t wanna be ’bout that life.
“is this the part where you speak your mind, your mouth is blurring the lines, and have you done what you can to destroy all my plans, or have you just started, and oh, how beautiful a lie, when it makes you feel like you can fly, and your wings are made of paper dreams, and paper futures”
Such a great voice on Brianna Hunt. Love the guitar on this track too!
Hope you can find some heat relief today! Be good, do good!
“You can take your place up in the sky, I will find a way to carry on down here, just as long as you are here, we can only make it if you try, there’s a reason why it’s calm down here, come and whisper in my ear”
It’s been a while since I’ve said a song was a vibe, so I’ll return to form here for this one!
Just a really cool mix all the way through. Hope you enjoy!
“Getting stoned again, dreaming about Stonington, little town by the sea, when the days get on, and I can’t seem to carry long, I hear its salty song call out to me, there is music in the boatyard by the dock, and there are rose hips, if you wait long enough, walls of pine lining every block, a horizon co-signed by God“
I first found Alice on YouTube, gosh, a lot of years ago it feels like. Gorgeous voice and some really good songwriting. Hopefully setting a chill vibe for your weekend.
everything, etc.
