Sitting To Know You Collection May Roundup

______________________________________________________________

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 19  (May 6th - May 12th)

Album: Duality (2015) by Set It Off  

Play Count: 3

Top 2 Tracks: 

Tomorrow ft. Jason Lancaster (Track 9)

Bleak December (Track 10) 

I’ve been spotty with Set It Off for the last few years and coming back to this album in particular after hearing some of the critiques, it was a little much. I’m just gonna say it, I knew every word to this whole misogynistic album. To be fair not every song is misogynistic, some of them just feature nice guy syndrome hahaha (Looking at you Bad Guy.) To be extra for real though, cause I wasn’t lying, I sang along and had fun with all of it like I was back in the summer of 2015, but I acknowledged the mess this time and that’s what made me think a little bit. It’s like watching your favorite 2000’s rom-com, you know what’s up. 

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 20  (May 13th - May 19th)

Album: Without Fear (The Complete Edition) (2020) by Dermot Kennedy 

Play Count: 2

Top 2 Tracks: 

Outnumbered (Track 10) 

Days Like This (Track 17) - Cover

I love this man’s voice so much and that’s why I’m sad it only got 2 very choppy listens. The complete version is like 70/80 minutes long and that’s why I struggled. I randomly saw a clip of a live performance he did years ago and the love has been there ever since. Now that particular song he preformed supposedly got reworked and changed into a different song on this album and the original only lives on YouTube. I'm mad hurt on that one, however the album is still really good and I'm not letting that sour my opinion at all. It’s a little moody and hopeful, but also very questioning. Y’all know how British rain sounds lol. I haven’t listened to his latest release yet, but I still can’t recommend him enough though. Trust me when I say this is a NEED to check out. 

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 21  (May 20th - May 26th)

Album: Stay Inside (2018) by Elder Brother 

Play Count: 4

Top 2 Tracks: 

I Don’t Miss You (Track 7)

Battle (Track 8) 

Elder Brother reminds me of fall 2019 and when I put this album on I’m just reminded of how good that moment was. (Little did I know what this album foretold.) If you need to feel comforted while you’re laying in bed or just walking around the house, this is a great choice. Tracks 6-9 are such a good run of songs that I can’t recommend them enough. I tried to pick songs that weren’t already my favorite as my top tracks so I highly recommend you check these out. If you’re unaware, look into this side project of Kevin from The Story So Far and Dan from Daybreaker, you will be pleasantly surprised. And if you are aware, listen again. 

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 22  (May 27th - June 2nd)

Album: Moonlight (2019) by Johnnyswim

Play Count: 2

Top 2 Tracks: 

Flowers (Track 7)

Lost In Translation (Track 4) 

I think this series is really forcing me to listen to these library discards cause this is the fourth one it’s shot out at me. I needed to listen to them anyway but this pushes me a little bit more. I knew one song from this album previously, so I was mostly going in unaware. Not of the group though, just the album. I’m usually pretty quickly drawn to Johnnyswim, but this one had to grow on me. If I’d gotten more listens in I feel like I could be more confident in it. It’s just not that strong off those first few listens. That being said, although it’s not my favorite album of theirs it’s still pretty decent and worth checking out if you like their stuff. Soulful pop-y kind of music.

I haven't been updating the playlist that's supposed to go along with this series, but I'm changing that and will include it at the end of these updates. Will include spoilers, but thanks to checking it out anyway.

The Playlist!

New album “When The War Is Over” February 7th, 2025

[anthonyandbrandon]

Shout out and huge thank you to @whatsgoingonovahere for this amazing find (also link to the original post to credit the person who recorded this).

Ant singing with the band Johnnyswim on a song they co-wrote back in April of this year in Nashville.

Ant posted snippets of attending the Diamonds Weekend a few days later... why was this appearance not publicized to Ant fans prior so they could attend? (Looking at you Ant's PR team 👀)

[its-elvish-for-two]

Listening to Don't Let it Get You Down by Johnnyswim and it made me think of The Way of Kings...

The storm it came from cross the seven seas

(shattered plains but hey)

Hold your course, here comes the cavalry

(the bridge crews and the battles on the plains)

Don't let it get you, don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you, don't let it get you down

(bridge life? just everything with Kaladin at that point?)

1, 2, 3, 4...

(Bridge Four)

You dreamed a dream but they said 'pay no mind'

(Dalinar and his codes)

Oh, but momma said 'girl, faith ain't for the blind'

(Dalinar's visions? Jasnah? Take your pick)

[...] Oh, this could be the part of you that you ain't never seen before

(Kaladin's powers, also possibly Shallan's?)

Oh, this could be the part of you, the part of you, you wanna be

(being able to save his men/ being able to learn and help Jasnah)

[...] December came but spring was following

I prayed for one and once he came for me

Navani's prayer for Dalinar after the trap

Idk I do this with songs sometimes especially when I've just read a good book, they merge together and I can't help but notice parallels

I want to draw this at some point too, but that may take a while and I needed a ramble
