2017 core

[joklhops]

i recorded this one awhile ago and waffled on redoing it but then realized i kind of liked it, imperfections included. so yeah, sticking with it.

Lyrics:

at the bottom of the ocean in an underwater fortress there lived an ancient wizard with his skeleton assistant

they were writing out a poem that was growing ever longer they were writing out the wisdom of a waning whale prophet they knew the world was dying and they knew they couldn't stop it

'cause nothing in this world is right. no nothing in this world is right 'cause nothing in this world is right. no nothing in this world is right

no it wasn't always like this they didn't come just to archive when the universe first sent them the hope was we'd survive

but that had to be abandoned and there was writing to be done so kelp parchment was pressed and bleached and the squid gave up their ink then the prophet sung the tale of a world on the brink

'cause nothing in this world is right. no nothing in this world is right 'cause nothing in this world is right. no nothing in this world is right

the sun had set on desperation for the worldly it was winter there were no more incantations no more pleas for transformation there were no more calls for logic no more reasonable decrees so the eels kept lit the laterns while the wizard penned the patterns that were chanted by our elders from deep beneath the sea

This new saga got me in a chokehold

[stgroversfire]

one of my biggest pet peeves that i think is really common is just absolutely shitting on household name bands. like ones that have ascended beyond popular to literally no one hasnt heard of them. whose music is maybe seen as boring for how much we have to hear it.

case in point:

the first song i ever actually felt an emotional connection to was it's time by imagine dragons. i was 12ish and i made a drawing for art class based on it that also happens to be the first piece of art i was ever truly proud of and made me want to create more.

night visions (deluxe) was so important to me at that time, i laughed and cried and sang and danced to that album, and the night visions tour was the first real concert i ever went to! i still remember that concert, i remember my mom and sister dragging me out during the encore because they wanted to get ahead of traffic, and i was crying happy tears singing along to nothing left to say/rocks as it played muffled through the concrete walls.

i couldn't tell you exactly what else i was listening to at that point other than what itunes called "alternative," but then smoke and mirrors came out and it was such a new sound that i had never experienced before and i think thats when i really became ravenous for more music. i went to that tour as well and it was incredible.

and then i started listening to stuff my friends showed me, because now i actually cared, and i got on fallout boy and p!atd and most importantly twenty one pilots.

i listened to my dad's favorite bands from the 70s/80s, namely supertramp and boston. i got into trap and dubstep. i listened when my brother played hip hop in the car and got hooked on mac miller, and then when i found out what hip hop was like in the 70s and the whole culture that developed around it, i truly fell in love with hip hop. i mean that shit got me through my worst days of high school.

and honestly once i got to college i was just listening to anything; grunge, traditional heavy metal, thrash metal, indie pop, folk, blues, jazz (i took a jazz class for an elective, and that shit is fascinating), j-rock, chiptunes, lofi, city pop, eurobeat, punk pop and easycore (thank you alex), breakcore-

okay, i sound like a bragging asshole now, but you get my point. i would not have found any of this if i hadn't heard it's time by imagine dragons, and every time i say ID means a lot to me, i get absolutely shit on. i actually was introduced to rush when ID did a cover of tom sawyer at a concert, and my friend's reaction was "wow that must have sounded like dogshit, they're so bad!" a reddit thread was giving me shit for having ID on my top 10 most listened, ignoring all the stuff i know they had never heard of.

which. alright, to be fair, it is a bit funny and i don't mind getting some flak for it. its the internet, its all in good fun. but the most random obscure shit like will connolly's caterpillars of the commonwealth or phemiec's songs from the dustbowl being on my spotify is owed to ID, put some respect on their name- they were able to reach so many people with their music, and that's something to be celebrated.

uhh tldr: all music is valuable because all music is helping someone get through this shit world, and it can be a gateway to music they don't know that they don't know.

uh and if you actually got this far rec me ur favorite band

Hey so I’m trying to e x p a n d my music taste, can anyone recommend me some good albums (preferably from niche artists) please. Also here’s this album in return:

Idk if this is niche but no one I know has listened to this album, and it’s pretty good.

7-hour-long Kaalaa Baunaa playlist for people normal about her (like me). This is my longest r99 playlist and for a reason ❤️💥

It will likely get longer once I get around to adding more songs to it.
