It’s a prompt party! 🪩🍾🪅

“ oh god you’re really gonna do the whole rocks against the window at midnight boombox thing aren’t you? ” from soft ships with any B-named Dagger of your choice

Morgan! I had every intention of delivering you a little Bob morsel, but this prompt was just too fitting for the Hey, Sailor babes! I hope you enjoy! 💖

In the two months since Bradley’s been home from his latest deployment, he’s gone from a one night stand to a boyfriend.

He’d been a goner from the moment he’d seen you in that sparkly dress with that shiny bridesmaid tiara on your head that night during Fleet Week. And while he wouldn’t change a thing about how the two of you gotten together- especially now with the way you’re draped across his chest, your body lush and soft against his- he did have some remorse about not getting to win you over the way a girl like you deserved to be.

"Baby?" Bradley runs his fingers along your the side of your thigh.

You tilt your head up to look at him. "Hmm?"

"Are you happy? With us and how things have been going?"

"I mean, I’m riding a pretty stellar endorphin high right now, Lieutenant,” you tease, propping yourself up on his chest wearing a mischievous smile. Such troublemaker. He lightly pinches the fleshy part of your hip, making you laugh and squirm closer. “Sorry, sorry, Lieutenant Commander.”

"That’s more like it," he says smugly. 

"Not beating those rank kink allegations there, Bradshaw.” You dip down and drop a quick peck on his lips. “But yes, I’m very happy. Why? You are too, right?” you ask him tentatively, casually.

The last thing he wanted was you second guessing anything about the way he feels about you.

He lifts a hand to your face and gently pulls your lower lip free where you had it pinned between your teeth with his thumb. "Of course I am," he assures you, "It’s just, we fucked on that first night, and I feel like I never got the chance to properly…woo you.”

“Woo?” you repeat, giving him an impressed look. “If I remember correctly, I’m pretty sure you wooed me quite thoroughly with your-”

He groans and covers your mouth with his hand, he can feel the curve of your smile under his palm before he slides it around the back of your neck. “No, I mean it. You wined and dined me-”

“-you mean I tequila shot and blew you-”

Rooster huffs a laugh, shaking his head amused. “That too, which I’ll concede was clearly a very effective method. After all, who am I to say no to a gorgeous girl who wants to take me home with her?” He wraps his arm around your waist and rolls over taking you with him and pressing you into the mattress. “But I never got to pull out my best moves.”

“Oh?” you say teasingly, tilting your hips into his, sliding your foot along his calf. 

“You know what I mean, I want to do this right. With flowers and chocolates and sunsets and tambourines.”

You’re the kind of girl who is worth the effort. And even though he already has you- and you have him more than wrapped around your finger- he still doesn’t want to skip over a single step with you.

He wants to charm you. To sweep you off your feet. To make you giddy and flustered.

“Wait, Rooster, you’re being serious?” Your eyes search his face for hint of a joke that’s not there. “Oh god, you’re really gonna do the whole rocks against the window at midnight boombox thing aren’t you?”

He grins, but doesn’t reply. Already starting to craft a game plan in his mind. And he knows the two of you are going to enjoy every moment of it. 

Bradley leans in to kiss you. “Get ready to be wooed, baby.”

You wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him closer. “Show me what you got, Lieutenant.”

it's a prompt party 🪩

Dancing queen feel the beat from the tambourine,oh,yeah

You can dance, you can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that dude, watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen 💃💃

Over very own Dancing queen Burrow

[cowgirlcasanova]

my favorite pass time is listening to bluegrass/folk music and even some classic rock, pretending that i wrote the songs and imagining that im some doomed by the narrative, runaway, wannabe singer running with the gang.

imagining sitting around the campfire while javier plays guitar, me singing the songs “that i wrote”, reading them from the many scribbled lines i have in a small old beaten up journal. genuinely feeling happy and at peace, having some kind of an audience for the first time even if it’s just them.

begging sadie to play the harmonica on a song, sean’s loud drunken singing when he thinks he knows the chorus after hearing it once-throwing his arm around lenny aggressively swaying him, giving karen an old tambourine, mary beth trying to get someone to dance with her, looking over and seeing even arthur is barely tapping his boot to the beat, charles sitting there in quiet peace while delicately working on his arrows. abigail dancing with young jack, john sitting around absentmindedly patting his knee to the beat, nursing a beer, his sights set only on jack and abigail. the quiet peace that descends over the camp.

- bonus points if the song you’re listening to has any modern references in it and you have to change the lyrics in your head to match up with the era of 1899.

✨Composition Analysis: Into The Ashes✨

I’m back with another Composition Analysis from my Peter Hart soundtrack, courtesy of @gioiaalbanoart ✨

Without further ado, the Titular Piece. As always, use headphones or earbuds for the best listening experience:

Into the Ashes

“Into the Ashes” was named after The Golden Phoenix. Before Peter became the captain, his father Johnathan Hart was commanding The Phoenix. Proceeding a long battle with an enemy ship, The Phoenix was nearly sunk. However, as it is named The Phoenix, it dove into the ashes and rose back from them to sail the sea again.

After Captain Hart I’s death, Captain Hart II (Peter) rebranded the vessel as The Golden Phoenix to honor his father’s legacy, while also giving rise to a new era.

This movement is in 3 distinct parts, with an overarching melody passed between accordion, flute, and strings. The meter is 6/8, to give a “rocking” feeling like the ocean. Swells in the strings represent the waves rolling over in the sea, and the deep baritone/bass parts are added because yes. ✨

At the end of each section is a little “Pirate motif” that I used in the previous analysis post, as well as a few other movements in the Peter Hart soundtrack.

The song opens with the “drums of war” (one of my favorite opens). The tambourine is heard playing both on the beat and in syncopated rhythms for extra pizazz. An accordion takes the melody on the first part, while harmonies fall to the harp and the delicious choir of men.

Then, the melody is passed to the flute for Part II. Some minor embellishments are added to the flute to mimic the rising and falling of the waves. Lots of grace notes added to put a distinct spin to the melody shown in Part I.

Then, Part III. This part was FUUUUUN 🎵

We introduce Part III with a stagger rhythm, as the waves get a little chopper, and the seafaring adventures take a more treacherous turn. The flute and accordion are paired on the melody line with strings, and even more embellishments, as they anxiously try to catch up to the impending storm of accelerandos.

The ending of the piece slows down to signify that the boat has broken out of the storm, into the calmer seas, and is ready to sail another day ⛵️✨

I hope you enjoyed this analysis! Tag list below the cut for people who may/may not be interested in this (+ or - me if you want to be added or removed 💖)

[muzaktomyears]

[a letter from Mimi in 1975] Discussing one of the fans and Paul: “Well, I just lose patience with such reckless stupidity. There must be reason in all things and to chase round after an aging Romeo, and worse still getting into debt to do it beats me. It would not mean a thing to him even if he knew, apart from boosting his ego, which doesn’t need any help and for Heaven’s sake, why he does these tours I can’t think. Only, of course, he may miss the publicity, which he loves. I say you can’t go back trying to recapture the careless rapture of youth, etc. etc. It could never be the same as it was when they were at their peak, the four of them. It’s nearly 12 years since L'Pool first went mad on them and then America. John may at some time feel like doing the same but I hope he won’t.” And Ringo: “I hear Ringo has announced his final departure from this country to live in America. Announced if you please. I don’t care either way. Certainly no announcement is needed. Just go and remember where you or he got his chance, with a big slice of luck thrown in. Really such arrogance. A little less bravado would be appreciated. 3 children left behind. Financially they’ll be all right, but that’s not everything. I don’t hear anything but gather his and George’s divorces are through. I’ll try and see Ringo’s mother next time I go North and get all the news. I know she’ll be upset. Announcement indeed! It annoyed me.” George: “As far as George and all that Harri Krishner or whatever they call themselves. I couldn’t blame Patty if she had to put up with that lot. Those screeching Jennies wandering all over the hose with their silly nonsense, banging tambourines and wailing all day long. Money does go towards softening of the head, altho between me and you, I wouldn’t mind the money and keep two feet on the ground.”

My seasonal music highlights: spring 2024 🦋

Welcome back to my silly little songs of the season reviews, you can check out this winter’s installment here ⭐️ one fave song per artist, no particular order, there will be a mini review section and trust I loved these songs as well, just couldn’t yap as much about them, you know the drill. GIF source: Supernova by aespa.

*: Full album review guaranteed to be presented in my year-end favorite project list

☾ Adulter8 - Sega Bodega*

Father… you have raised the bar yet again. Sega Bodega’s new album Dennis was by far my most anticipated project of the year, which unquestionably delivered the excellence I was expecting and more. I was so captivated by Adulter8’s intricacies that I couldn’t help but play it at least 92 times within first week of the album’s release. What starts off with an 8-bit-like sequence escalates into one majestic pre-chorus and afterwards the best beat drop I’ve ever heard in my life. The lyrics are a result of a thesaurus browse, simply the distorted “dilute, adulterate, diminish, reduce me to nothing, seduce”, effortlessly accompanying the elaborate Arabic-influenced instrumentals. Those beat drops though… especially the first one… that build-up… calling that “top-notch” would be insulting. I felt like my soul left my body for a split second when I was first listening to it at 12AM. I cannot even attempt to comment on the greatness of that singular drop. The song is overall just incredible and addictive, and will most likely end up as my favorite song of the entire year. I don’t even feel the need to comment on more for now because come on, this is Sega Bodega, this is off of Dennis, this is Adulter8. If you get it, you get it.

☾ Mine - aespa

The looooooong anticipated release day of Armageddon the album was a national holiday for Synkcity. We’re seeing such bright times after all these hate trains, mismanagement from SM, the sabotage from rival companies coming to light and what-the-hell-not, honestly. After nearly three whole years and three EPs, aespa finally present their full-length debut. Needless to say, singles Supernova and Armageddon are top-notch, continuing aespa’s all-smash title track streak. However, there was an album delight that blew my damn mind, and it was Mine. Hearing the first chorus in the highlight medley was enough to keep in mind that the track would be one of the best b-sides of the album, but I regretfully have to admit I didn’t think it would be one of aespa’s biggest guns as a whole. My jaw fell harder with every. second. of this. song. Karina and Ningning’s breathy, sassy, forceful, majestic raps kickstart the track along with tambourines that feel like digital diamonds jingling up in front of you. Winter comes through with the earth-shattering second half of the prechorus, and Giselle kills it by spitting one of her most plate-shifting rap verses. A major reason why Mine is my personal favorite off of the album is because how much everyone shines in their own right. Winter and Ningning are back at being one of 4th gen’s iconic vocal duos (as well as their pleasing rap lines), Giselle retrieves her well-deserved main rapper position (SM you can still catch it), and Karina effortlessly wraps both the vocal and rap roles around her fingers as she always does. That bridge? That bridge is disgusting even for four of the bridge architects of K-pop. The girls absolutely outdid themselves on this. The instrumental track may be less maximalist than the title tracks’ or, say, Set The Tone’s, but oh boy are they vehement and so hypnotic. The drums, the synths, especially the ones in the last chorus… it all forms together to make the song nastier and nastier as it progresses. Everyone involved in this walked into the studio with a mission to change the trajectory of music. I’m afraid I’m in this MY lifestyle for long. aespa truly are unsteppable.

☾ Fácil - Empress Of*

For Your Consideration promoted Empress Of into my new favorite indie popstar, and Fácil is my chosen earworm off of it. Every song on the album is so sultry and charismatic, and Fácil has this distinguishing sharpness in its sound, courtesy of umru, to top it off. Empress Of’s ear for memorable melodies and catchy lyrics especially come in clutch here, with casual melodic beatboxing in the background and the looping “tócame aquí, tócame ya, ya, ya, ya”. The self-made hisses and snares go hand in hand with umru’s signature punchy splices. Multiple layers of vocals linger in the entire track, from panting and breathing to sensually delivered lines in the higher range. The bit I’m gonna point out next is more self-indulgent (and I’ve pointed it out on my page previously lol) but nevertheless, I felt like the casual bravado and the combined danceability and grit of the track was akin to candy bOmb by OnlyOneOf, and the more good music with similar vibes, the merrier. Can’t get enough of either.

☾ Hypertonic - TAN (+ my Soda origin story 😙)

TAN have proven themselves to be masters of old gen K-pop revivalism since they came out the gate with their 2022 debut Du Du Du. The group first came to my attention with Walking On The Moon and later in 2023 with the hit Fix You, which went multi-platinum on my personal devices. For some strange reason, I still didn’t fully open my eyes and get into them despite their almost unmatched title tracks. That is until they released the first-day diamond-certified Hypertonic. Hypertonic, as a song, is pretty much everything I could ask for from a new gen pop boyband: in-your-face electronic production, intriguing composition, high-powered vocals and raps, and a full song structure, despite the track duration falling slightly below 3 minutes. The gritty synth heavy instrumentals are robotic and over the top in the best way possible, giving you the feeling that they’re straight out of 2000-10s Japanese EDM archives. The verses, chorus, rap and bridge hit all the right spots, going with the instrumentals instead of being overshadowed by them or vice versa. The high notes in the bridge and outro couldn’t have topped off the track’s overflowing energy any better. Now, I wanna bring up how I was particularly taken over by the first half of the second verse. I mean it when I say “taken over” because I was so obsessed with that particular member’s flawless line delivery that I was scrambling to learn their names. The particular member turned out to be their main vocalist Jooan, and it all made sense because he was behind the perfect vibratos (earned by his musical theater education), a good amount of high notes and runs (along with brilliant lead vocalist Hyunyeop) and bits that blew me away in previous songs I’ve heard from the group. Honestly, I was starstruck by all of TAN at first Kprofiles browsing sesh. I mean, what’s there not to love about a band of superb singers (+ superb main rapper Jiseong who’s obviously included in the “singers”), dancers, songwriters, producers (the self-production makes the music even more impressive), choreographers and overall artists who are intensely passionate and excellent at everything they do? This type of multi-skill and well-roundedness is exactly what I seek and keep up with in both K-pop and outside of it. Jooan though… you will pay for being the cause of some of my most humiliating K-pop fangirl posts. Love me a mind-blowing vocalist (duh), dancer, rapper, songwriter, producer, sound engineer, overall a true all-rounder with an irresistible face card. Please give these dudes’ music a stream or two because they really have no business not getting their flowers from K-pop fans and tasteful people.

☾ Malena - Domiziana

Somebody took “after your biggest flop comes your biggest slay” a bit too literally, and I am more than satisfied with that. After the colossal washout that was Domiziana’s previous single Katholisch Erzogen, which was merely another one of the examples of cheap blasphemy for shock factor accompanied by a fake-creepy beat straight out of the Tiktok “musician” archives, Malena turned everything around. Not only was it a massive bounce back from whatever she had going on with that disaster, but also an upgrade in her whole career in every single way. The production is arguably her most minimal but most defined and well-executed to date, with the amapiano influences and siren-like background vocals doing wonders. The vocals and lyrics are her best by a landslide as well. The whispery, high head voice stays, but this time with more emotion and variety in delivery. We listen to a story about cheating, betrayal and a lack of commitment, enriched with references to the cult classic movie Malena, the namesake of the track. The music video is set in Domiziana’s mother’s hometown, Catania, with different sets, cameras and editing. Malena ends up being an incredible audiovisual experience and the current highlight of Domiziana’s work. Maybe it’s just her highs and lows, maybe it’s her taking her career more seriously than ever, hopefully the latter. May she beat the one-hit wonder allegations (mind you, Ohne Benzin doesn’t hold a candle to this masterpiece) and continue to serve like this.

☾ Lipgloss - Terror Jr

A portion of pop music fans constantly ask for the good old 00-10s to be brought back, meanwhile some others wish to move on and focus on more future-oriented, complex sounds instead. Lipgloss masterfully combines both, delivering nostalgia yet nonetheless sounding shiny and brand new. The simple repeated chorus, casual lyrics and the vibe of the production overall feel 2016, and fans have likened the song to Terror Jr’s Bop City era’s sound. Still, the natural execution of this song makes it solid and refreshing on its own rather than a pathetic attempt at reviving what pop used to do. It took me a bit too long to find out that the experimental pop duo’s producer David Singer-Vine was ½ of The Cataracs, a producer duo behind numerous 2010s pop hits such as Like a G6 by Far East Movement and In The Dark by DEV (along with the entire The Night The Sun Came Out album). As a solo artist he produced songs such as Gold by Kiiara and Stuck With Me by Tinashe. This made the Terror Jr experience make a lot more sense: listening to their music feels like taking a trip to the present in a fancy time machine, with hosts who have a nice grasp on the past and the future. Special shoutout to that music box all over the instrumentals by the way, that scratched my brain just right.

☾ Perfect - Cosha

I didn’t call the MurMurs EP the “free therapy album” when it first dropped for no reason, you know. Alternative R&B hidden treasure Cosha returns to heal us all after her 2021 re-debut album Mt. Pleasant, with more of her sublime melodies and vocals. In the EP, Cosha keeps switching from soulful, serene and down-tempo (Fire Me Up, MurMurs Interlude) to drum-heavy, danceable and inviting (Relish, Glow). Meanwhile, Perfect pinpoints that sweet middle ground. Firstly, the beat is absolutely hooking. The drums, bass and recurring plucks pull me in the most, and Cosha’s higher-range head voice is pure magic, especially in the chorus. The second verse has this slight beat switch that brings forward the bass that I’m obsessed with, and then we’re back to that divine chorus with even more adlibs, high notes and harmonies. It’s laced. I feel like the whole project, but especially this specific song, would suit many people’s tastes, so this is especially a deep cut recommendation of mine to everybody.

Mini reviews

❥ Nasty - Tinashe: I feel so bad that this is going into the mini reviews section because the song has been on rotation since it dropped, I don’t believe I need to elaborate on its earworm factor. Obviously, Tinashe has an ear for hits, and the production is relatively simple yet so effective. So glad that it’s going viral and Tinashe is getting the hype she deserves.

❥ You know what (Hey listen) - 4s4ki: I’m afraid as long as 4s4ki keeps making music, she will keep appearing on all my favorites lists. She just can’t miss no matter what genre or sound she tries out. This one’s for the people that get their head in their hands and slide down a wall at 1AM. Give us vocals, give us guitar breakdowns, give us a REAL love song, give us everything, queen.

❥ Hard dreams - Gesaffelstein feat. Yan Wagner: Real techno’s been so back since Gamma dropped. The visuals for this album still hold their title of being the best of the year, by the way.

❥ Botoxxx - Isabella Lovestory: She SLID on that bridge. Love to see the budget in the MV. We need the sophomore album.

❥ Caught Up - FLO: The guitars? The vocals? That key switch in the bridge? FLO’s discography is still flawless. We need the debut album.
