i have been restricting myself and when you do that no matter how “good” i think i can be i end up binging in some way. woah. did you guys know you can put quotes around a word by selecting it and typing the quotation mark. maybe it’s the iphone update
#posts#binging not just as eating either but also as going on my phone for hours instead of reading or drawing or listening to music.#although i did listen to music#< not being hard on myself or guilty about this either ive been working long asf hours + this is normal and fine given that#i will get a reward for working my long hours i will get paid and my name on a published research paper#and i have things to look forward to. having friends over for cooking and watching a movie and having wine on wednesday#which will be fun. i will craft this week so that i can enjoy myself

Truly annoying when most of a song fits Things and Situations perfectly but there's one line or verse that just throws the entire thing off. How dare.
#this was made about blorboposting and walls by all time low but it feels widely applicable.#I have stuff to do tomorrow. I need to go to sleep and stop listening to 2000s pop rock music but I've fallen down the rabbithole.#ALTHOUGH the 2019 live version ten-year-tribute album of Nothing Personal? WAY BETTER than the 2009 one.#I will die on this hill! I think I already did recently! I'm doing it again!

Really entertained by the fact that I listened to @vastwinterskies' Hornblower playlist enough that the bands on it are now giving me early access to concert tickets
#hi thank you this is a really kind offer but i only know one song by you and i exclusively associate it with my sad wet early 19th c man#although i do know that one song well because i had the playlist on repeat. for like a month. normal behavior i'm fine i promise :))#i think my entire music experience this year was just determined by hornblower i'm going to be honest#if mercuri i mart being top of the list is any judge (i did check the play count on spotify and lads i was the number one listener :'))#perce rambles#(also side note but it's a really good hornblower playlist and you should go listen to it right now)

Not exactly a bad discovery. But one of my oc’s fits shockingly well with a my little pony song
#it’s not best day aria. although I could make an argument for a different oc in that regards….#I’m talking about danger danger from the new gen movie#which yes. I did watch when it came out#genuinely if you haven’t heard it you should go listen to the song#and then maybe ask me about my oc’s … 👉👈#KIDDING only if you want#but danger danger is actually a good song though#it sits amongst a lot of the best songs from friendship is magic#wait#why am I talking about my little pony#ANYWAY#go listen to the pony facism music

It's getting to that time of year again... Spotify users who do you think your top 5 artists are gonna be
#i think idkhow and starset are locked down for me because of the albums. one of them isn't even out yet but i know#depending on when frost* releases life in the wires (before or after november lol)#otherwise monofader‚ arockalypse‚ siames‚ and either seeming or thoushaltnot are on the table#although a lot of my arockalypse listening was via local files so idk!#i did have both the ark (the 1 arockalypse record) and frost (the 1 monofader record) on loop a lot because i was transcribing lyrics 🤔#seeming/thoushaltnot is the only ''new'' (AKA i only just found them this year) artist that might be on my list i think#music talk

is it weird to tell my friend I miss having music conversations like we did at uni
#or is that a normal thing to say. it sounds like a normal thing to say#but does it sound normal coming from me. is it in character for me. will he think it's out of character for me#i'm not saying I miss Him (although the drifting of our friendship is something i think about at least twice a day) i'm just saying i miss#the music conversations. which we had a lot of at uni#does it sounds clingy and stuck in the past to be like ''like we used to do at uni''. or will he understand#and also i can't tell if he feels the same way (misses the friendship) and isn't saying anything bc he's just like me when it comes to#emotional stuff. or does he not talk to me as much bc maybe he has just gone off me. he's always out doing things and talking to people#and i'm his sad unemployed hyperfixationless friend who lives far away and always acts depressed and zone outey#and is always like remember the good old days remember how we used to run etc.#so idk.#the context is he sent me a song i recommended him years ago like 'listening to this again thanks for recommending lol'#and maybe it just came up on shuffle maybe he actively went and listened to it idk#so would that be an appropriate time to send:#''I feel we should recommend songs more like we did at uni I miss having music conversations lol''#obviously i've responded to the actual message but would it be weird to send that too#anyway#ramble

I was thinking about all the songs that my brain constantly piped at me so I decided to make a brain wrapped(tm) of the top five based on frequency and intensity (based on unreliable memory).
5. Hopelessly Unholy (Orchestral Version) by Kite. this appeared late in the year and it was already a song I liked (both versions) but suddenly my brain was reeeeally pushing it on me. I get a lot of Kite in my head because I really really like 'em.
4. Seltenen Erden by Sturm Café. my brain loves a bouncy synth. only this low because it's also a late entry but it was played VERY intensely even if I don't know many of the words (which is probably why the end gets played more).
3. Bend My Body Armour by A Split-Second. I don't know what these lyrics mean but boy is it catchy. please know I'm also thinking about the linked video clip a lot too. Marc Ickx still has these exact moves several decades later.
2. Slice Me Nice by Fancy. this song is summoned randomly and when I see or hear the word 'slice'. 'I'm like a cake that wants to be baked / I'm like a pie made for hungry guys' is unbeatable. I listen to italo disco now and then but Tobias Bernstrup also released a remix this year.
1.The Garden by Einstürzende Neubauten. this started very early in the year when I was listening to a bunch of EN and similar and looped for many many months so it takes top spot.
#music#some words#i knew several of these before#but my brain just decided to latch on#i saw kite and a split-second live this year too#this is more representative than any charts#although i did also play all of these a decent amount#but who needs to listen that much when it's in my internal soundtrack

saw him earlier for probably the last time til spring semester
#🍞#at which point we will become best friends btw#theres gotta be a heavy soprano / light baritone duet we could do#ok i dont know if im really a coloratura but all 3 of the roles i sang for this class are on the wikipedia article for coloratura soprano#if i was id probably be dramatic but 2 of them are under lyric#and another under lyric is gilda in rigoletto who has a duet with rigoletto whos a baritone that came up#number 3 after la ci darem la mano don giovanni is a tenor?#pa pa pa which a duet i did this semester was based on and weve also done magic flute and that scene the semester before enough is enough#4 is from porgy and bess we’re both white#5 is bei mannern welche liebe fuhlen i lovee that song but again we did magic flute#although our pamina isnt doing the class this year#but mainly its very slow for a scenes program#5 is cinque dieci venti which he did last fall and im way to heavy for susanna#dont know the ones after that might listen to them to makeup scenarios in my head#you know … i tell myself i just dont have a favorite music genre anymore#but i didnt really consider that listening to classical goes beyond just studying for me#and after my top artist was mozart … this is who i am i fear#he doesnt even like listening to classical just watching it#he said he doesnt really listen to music which is what i would say#maybe hes telling the truth or maybe he didnt post his spotify wrapped bc he just listens to musical theatre or a capella or smth#can we be loser4loser pleaseee#god i almost asked if he had a church job before ts even started we could be coworkers by now#it probably wouldnt have worked out and been awkward and the guy i did tell about it is really cool and seems excited for it#if all else fails we Will be in chamber his last semester before student teaching#and so will my emotional support annoying freshman who will be a sophomore by then so maybe less annoying#mayyybe professor chamberprofessor will like our voices together probably there will be a lighter soprano to go in a group with him#if im even singing soprano lmao waiiit tenor maya comeback ⁉️#what was i even talking about

Don't be shy drop the Old Crow song 👁️👁️🫴🏽 /nf /silly
HnnnnGH.
Okay. Before clicking this link I will say, I don't always love my dad's music, the crow was definitely a gift divorced from my personal feelings about his music. I had to listen to him playing constantly when I lived at home and it created an antipathy for me, but that said, maybe you guys will like it?
Here's his reverbnation, I don't see the Old Crow song, but you can get the vibes. If you like his sound and really want to hear about an old time traveling crow I'll poke him to upload it.
#ask ffs#past partners have chided me for how down I am on my dad's music and it is pretty unfair#but he made a song about me called the “no song” about how intractable and stubborn I am that hurt my feelings#and also he now wants to make a song about a homeless man that will give you the shirt off his back that I just. fully disagree with#so our various autisms are at odds#but that said I did listen to one or two of these trying to see if they were the crow song and it's better than I expected?#anyway!#if you like it he'll be super jazzed#he got hit by a car while on his bike and it really messed up his hand so playing has been harder for him#but he really genuinely loves playing music so that's rough and if my tumblr following hopped on his bandwagon he'd lose his shit#although I might have to stave off him asking to see my tumblr again...

feeling nostalgic and watching utube reactors discover classic songs and then feeling both old and incredulous
#1980s music#like someone watching blondie's rapture and then stopping to go 'oh it reminds me of something it's so familiar'#different people (all younger) do this all the time and it can be infuriating#like it's an older song - did it ever occur to you that maybe what you're thinking of ... took inspiration from THIS song????#although in that case it was rather grandmaster flash and the nyc rap scene bc of course that's what the song was referencing#it's the boss baby meme but in music form#and i know i'm guikty of it too but at least in the correct direction - looking back to things that came before#not being aghast that a beat they've heard s thousand times was sampled from an old song that copied an older song lol#i will say that it is SO weird to me that peopke who say they are into hiphop never seem to reference the rap from my youth#like the late 70s and 80s sound that everything after is built on#and it's not like i know a lot about it beyond watching yo mtv raps at night lol#but i had to watch kids struggle to recognize the warren g regulate sample from michael mcdonald#like SO much of the early sampling era was just tons of samples of old records - anything they didn't have to pay for#and then listening to things and going oh this sounds like the weeknd - bro the weekend sounds like 80s songs#he sings and structures the songs in similar ways to classic tracks rather than the current trend (sometimes)#gah i'm just ranting here rather than in some poor utubers comments#i wish i had some fellow old folks to jabber with#but even when i was in high school i didn't have any friends that liked the same kind of music as i did#bts getting me more interested in music and watching videos has really been a double-edged sword sigh#everything with a live studio band with bass in it: 'oh this sounds like disco'#or worse something literally built off a disco sample and it's like they've never heard a disco song other than ymca in their life

hi. just came to say i’m alive and well (mostly) if anyone cares. i simply broke down due to emotional stress so i had to delete the app and cut it all out. idk how long it will take, but i’ll be back and catch up on blogs/tags/messages by then! hope you’re doing great, i’m sending you all my love and a special shoutout to @itsniceto, @mycastlescrumblingdown, @jdschecter, @intomymelancholia and @mayangelsleadyouin for being such a ray of sunshine. miss you and love you all soooo so much 💜
#part of not coming back rn is taylor tbh. in case you missed it i kinda distanced myself from the fandom although obviously#her music will always be a big part of my life. but it’s so tiring trying to separate the artist when shit keeps coming out#& yes i’ve listened to sntv but all i’ll say there is that now it’s oficially top last lmao esp after what she did to my fave tracks#like wth happened to btr and this album production. but again i have no intention of talking shit nor i care enough at this point#i’m also on the verge of a break up and my brother’s health is getting worse so. i really cannot deal with any criticism rn#at least i knew long before i couldn’t afford to go to a show. anyways enough talking to myself ! these are the news ig#also thanks to everyone who keeps tagging me on their edits. i appreciate it sm and i will reblog them when i’m back!! promise#see you around and please. remember to take a deep breath and drink water and put yourselves above anything else <3#pt

Today I sat in an Asian food buffet restaurant across the table from two of my coworkers (we were technically at work) and almost cried over the lyric analysis that I was writing on my phone for "Rain Dance" by Big Country.
#crystal visions of lilies in the valley#today on 'things that have only ever happened to me singularly'#how nice that my coworker that I've only ever met like twice tried to converse with me about a TV show#only for me to awkwardly be like ''no I really don't watch cooking shows sorry...'' (because I really don't watch TV shows -#because I'd rather spend most of my time listening to music and also writing about music!)#the things in the parentheses I did not actually say of course. although I implied that I don't watch TV.#anyway...the reason I teared up big time is because this song is actually an anthem but not in the way you'd expect (most likely)#and the reason WHY it's an anthem MAKES ME WANT TO CRY SO MUCH!#it's like ''In a Big Country'' all over again. and I also think someone should fucking cover ''Rain Dance'' like December did with IaBC#in that specific 'we want to do the original justice whilst also being respectful toward the context that this song exists in now' way

my memory’s pretty spotty but surprisingly I remember a fair amount of lyrics from a song I haven’t listened to since… at minimum 7 years
#my ramblings#old man sunshine listen you/never tell me dreams come true/just try it/and I’ll start a riot#beatrice fairfax don’t you dare/ever tell me he will care/I’m certain/it’s the final curtain#I never want to hear a cheerful pollyanna… something something#who tells you fate/provides a mate/it’s all bananas#WAIT#I NEVER WANT TO HEAR FROM ANY CHEERFUL POLLYANAS#they’re writing songs of love but not for me~ a lucky star’s above but not for me~#with love to lead the way I’ve found more clouds of grey than any russian play could guarantee~#I was a fool to fall and get that way~ high ho alas and also lackaday~#and I forget how it ends in this verse but the last last one is ‘although I can’t dismiss the feeling of his kiss I guess he’s not for me’#but I forget the entire other verse#or… chorus?#anyway there was a… well I suppose you could call it a jukebox musical but for gershwin songs#‘but not for me’ was one of my favorites#did they also have ‘how long has this been going on’?#actually so like#sondheim was very picky about lyrics and had super high standards#and one of the things he considered cheating was when stress was messed with for the sake of meter/rhyme#and in how long has this been going on#‘dantes’ is completely mangled into ‘dahn-tees’#‘sad to tell it was hell an inferno worse than dantes’#so every time I think abt those lyrics I think abt sondheim shaking his head in disapproval#well now this is basically#talking abt musicals#I need to look up who beatrice fairfax was
