#I grew up with this album

[feuer-bluete]

If you want some music to enhance your Dracula Daily experience and also maybe want to try some non english music may I recommend the Album Finsternis from E Nomine.

The Songs are in german/latin and while they don't follow the book a lot of them are very much inspired by it. The songs themself tell a story as well, and you always have an short Interlude followed by a song.

The music can be described (copied from Wiki) as monumental vocal style, is a combination of trance, techno, and vocals which closely resemble Gregorian singing and chanting.

Joseph exhales a cloud of smoke, “Do ya think we’d be friends if we met as kids?”

Belle smiles at him, her eyes all-knowing,

“I like to think so.”

Only God Was Above Us is jam packed with political metaphors and calling out the institutions in place and putting truths above all else, and WOW, it's poignant. It's the perfect blend of nostalgic kick drums and strings, of traditional choirs and piano solos and Indian trap and 90s hip hop. I cried when they sampled Mansard Roof. I cried when they referenced Diane Young. I sobbed when I realized how the singles fit into the bigger picture of the album's themes of class division and anti-imperialism and creating and sharing art. Sometimes you just need someone to give you permission to let go of the things that are out of your control and put your hope into things you can actually change. Sometimes you need music to give a voice to the emotions that are too hard to articulate. What a triumph in every sense of the word. I am broken and pieced back together all at once. Thank you, Vampire Weekend.

Serious question what's up with everyone making fun of country nowadays and invoking tropes I don't think I've even seen

"it's backwards and conservative" Do you have any familiarity with Johnny Cash? An activist for Native American rights whose iconic image is the Man In Black as a symbol for the disadvantaged? The songs Folsom Prison Blues? Man In Black? And I know Tumblr loves Dolly Parton as a person, for good reason - 9 To 5, her signature workers' rights protest, isn't quite country, but most of her discography is.

"it's too religious" Fair - several musically excellent songs lean too heavily into Christian themes for me to enjoy as a Jew (though I'm sure Christian audiences love them, progressive ones too). But many of those religious songs evoke more universally applicable ideas of brotherhood, hope, and justice - and are those really things worthy of mockery?

"the emotions are shallow" I See A Darkness is one of the most authentic portrayals of depression in music I know of. Many country songs have themes of love, heartbreak, and drama/tragedy - but those are common to music across nearly all genres, even if specific songs don't land for everyone.

At the end of the day it's just a music genre, yes, but one that does have emotional significance for many people, cultural significance for many others, and as much diversity in content and performer talent as any genre of entertainment.

And it's not very fun to have cherished childhood memories and music that genuinely resonates with you mocked just about everywhere you turn aside from people who are actually fans of it.

The re-recordings are so fun because it gives fans the opportunity to relive or experience a particular era for the first time. For fans that were around when the album first came out it provides a chance to reminisce on where they were at that time and for new fans they get to experience what that era was like and the joy of getting a new album. For both new and old fans it allows for new memories to be made and I feel like that’s a really special thing!
