Wasn’t expecting this album to float to the top, but here we are. This is a very theatrical & very affecting album, and it hits on a personal pain point of mine I’ve carried with me for a few years now. Naming, and opening up that hurt: the haunting expression of double-distilled loneliness on The Constable, with its repeating New Year’s countdown, and its music video showing the front woman finishing up her playing on a piano to lay her head down on it & sob in the loud, wet silence… yeah. That‘s like the whole album folding itself into a single drawn-out moment in a single song, and that gets me. I have a recurring New Year’s resolution I’ve made over the past 9 ish years: to have people in my life, such that the next NYE isn’t a lonely one. I made good on that, finally, on New Year’s Eve & Day of 2023-2024, spent with a girl I cared for at the time. As it stands now, this recent New Year’s Day has me back to the recurring resolution. I feel like it’s tempting to fault yourself entirely for your loneliness. I feel like that’s unfair, most of the time, even though that same feeling also keeps me promising myself things. It’s a feeling I’m hesitant to honor, but it’s undeniably in me, and it deserves to unfold itself and open, sometimes. And, I guess when it does, this is what it sounds like.

OLYMPUS - BLONDSHELL

few things hurt as beautifully as this song this album in general came at a critical time in my life where i was breaking up with the old version of myself while also processing two breakups - years apart - that i hadn't dealt with. other noteworthy breakup tracks: sepsis, sober together

I like to make playlists that have a huge collection of songs that may be on the soundtrack of my life if someone were to make a movie about that chapter of my life. Most of them don’t get very far because I don’t have a well defined “chapter” to adhere to. This one was made around 2021-2022 when I was in a relationship that at the time I didn’t realize actually sucked, but when I listen back at this playlist, it is pretty clear how depressed I was. I like it because it has some of my favourite songs, and it gives a lot of insight to that time in my life without expressly saying anything.

Meet your friends where they’re at

i have friends for coffee, friends for late nights on the town, friends for smoking weed and playing smash bros, friends for long walks, friends for long talks it’s not that i compartmentalise, it’s just that i meet my friends where they’re at, and that seems to work for us

Going to bed early

Honestly the best feeling I like to read a bit and unwind for the day then crash before 9:30 I embrace the nana in me

do more things on your own

Go to the gig. Dance by yourself. Maybe you’ll make a friend, but not having someone there with you shouldn’t stop you from enjoying good music and connecting with an artist you love. Stand in the front. No one behind you matters. The night is yours, if you take it. Go to the movies alone. Go to cafes alone. Take yourself out on dates. Go to the bookshop and buy something pretentious and wanky. Sit in a crowded bar reading about Sylvia Plath’s fig tree or Plato’s Cave. Don’t believe that you need to be holding someone’s hand to enjoy the sunset. The sunset is just as golden when you drink it in alone.
