I think this song could easily be mistaken for a Bon Iver track. Definitely feeling those vibes.
There isn’t a ton to the song lyrically, but musically I think once the horns start hitting it’s a different level.
I hope you enjoy it, and are finding things to enjoy during this slow descent into winter.
Be good, do good.
This song is a fantastic slow-building fire! The children chorus!?
“To fall downward and rust, you build this house with your hands, and your time and your blood, we built this up in one day, to fall downward and rust, I don’t move unless you know, someone you can move, I bruise just like anyone would bruise, and I know we’ve got a long way to go, and I know we’ve got a long way to go, I know I’ve got so far”
Dig into their discography, you won’t be sorry!
Be good, do good.
This. Song. Is. So. Pretty.
It really reminds me that I need to be outside more. I’ve described my hammock as “my happy place”, but I just realized I haven’t really used it much over the past two summers.
I wonder why that is? It deserves a think at some point. Too busy during summer vaca to lay in a hammock? Seems suspect. 🙂
“Child of flowers, child of trees, you are a child of these, child of fallen spinning leaves, you are a child of these, child of wild, roaming streams, you are a child of these, child of skies, child of seas, you are a child of these”
I just wrote child so much that it looks weird to me as I read it.
I need to forest bathe a little I think before it’s gets REAL cold. I’ve been thinking about it just haven’t been able to actually make myself do it. Maybe tomorrow!
Hope you’re as well as well can be.
Be good, do good.
“I know this might seem a little less alright, but here, I find a little place to hide, oh what a mess I’m in, oh what a mess I’m in“
This song gets amazingly “crashy” and atmospheric a little after 3 minutes, but equally great I think are the quieter admissions of mess.
Are you in a mess? I am. I’ve found the only person that can clean it is me. No one is gonna do it for me. Maybe that’ll help spur you to start plugging away at fixing your mess, whatever it is. But my advice is literally to just start. Start trying to clean things up for yourself. You’ll feel better. I think we’re in control more than we think, and there’s a lot of “I can’t” or “I don’t want to”.
Fight those feelings. Life’s too short not to make this the most beautiful place possible for ourselves and those around us.
Be good, do good.
Remember that first middle school “relationship” you had? The awkwardness? The drama? First delve into an incredibly complex concept, relationships, lacking the frontal cortex to even begin to fathom understanding them. Hell, at 42 I’m still figuring them out.
This song brings me back to those days.
Now you ask to hold my hand, and back then there was no buts, and I thought you would understand, that anyone can mess up, hey, hey, are you listening?, hey, hey, we’re gonna crash and burn, hey, hey, maybe I won’t care, hey, I’ll stop whispering, I’ll stop whispering”
Remember that you as you read this. Be kind to them! They probably took a lot of shit for you! Be grateful for them for getting through everything that got thrown at them back then. Whether we thrived or just merely survived, there’s merit and gratitude to be had.
I’m grateful for middle school you. Whoever they were.
Be good, do good.
Absolutely love the stuff Miley is putting out there musically these days. That growly belty voice is dope.
“Do you wanna play house? I could be your wife, go and meet your mom in a dress too tight, maybe I could stay and not break your heart, but don’t forget, baby, I’m a wildcard, I love when you hold me, but loving you is never enough, don’t wait for me, ’cause forever may never come”
Just a badass warning song.
Be good, do good!
Weird song, but there’s something about how he put it together that jives with my brain. At times it’s a kaleidoscope of sound.
Getting back at it after a little mid-November hiccup! Just couldn’t keep up with everything going on. I knew you’d still be here though. You’re cool like that.
Be good, do good.
Man, the organ in this song is incredible. Love it as the strong base throughout, and when the strings accompany it this song truly becomes like a dream. Sheer epicness.
“I am lost, in a rainbow, now our rainbow, is gone, overcast, by your shadow, as our worlds move on, in this shirt, I can be you, to be near you, for a while, in this shirt, I can be you, to be near you, for a while, there’s a crane, knocking down, all these things, that we were”
Such a soulful, emotional song. I love it, even if it causes that melancholia.
There’s a place for that, because it lets us know just how good real joy is.
I wish you that joy.
Be good, do good.
Killer voice on Maiah. I think there’s a tik tok or something rolling around with the headline “can you imagine walking by a club and hear this coming out?” when she really belts at 2:09.
I’d walk in! No doubt about it. Gorgeous, ethereal, otherworldly.
Always love discovering voices like hers. Keeps me coming back!
Be good, do good.
If you sample Bloc Party in your Hip-Hop song, I’m a fan forever. One of my favorite things about music, is that we all like all different kinds. It’s super easy to extrapolate that out to the artists themselves, right? Love to see things bleed into one-another like that. The listening experience is richer when you’re a fan of both!
Be good, do good. I think it’s an ice cream night.
everything, etc.
