song of the day (4)

just pretend i did this 40 mins ago :)

...well, better than the alternative from The Normal Album by Will Wood

rating: 10/10

fulfilling my contractual obligation to rate a will wood song before day 5. i guess i am technically posting this on day 5 but WHATEVER!! it would be so hard for me to choose a favorite will wood/wwatt song because theyre all so near and dear to my heart (and make up like half my personality) but this song would totally be a contender. i think it would be utterly impossible for me to rank any will wood song objectively because of just how much his music means to me on a very personal level.

"What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me? I’m just trying to do what’s right by you What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me? Oh, I’m just trying to do what’s right by you"

[mychanicalbrides]

hi going to be using my platform on here (7 followers) to promote THE album ever

i know i say some songs changed my life but this album SERIOUSLY changed my life and helped me realize that most of my relationships are super toxic. the songs on this are absolutely IMMACULATE and sometimes it sounds like it was recorded on a literaly potato but god her voice is so fucking raw, paired with the piano and violin its just amazing. the best breakup album ive ever heard, talking about the ups and downs of falling in love and having to move on from someone you see as home OKAY IM SORRY BUT PLEASE ive been gatekeeping this album since late 2021 and i now need people to listen to it because it means so so so so much to me okay thats it

[cyandocs]

Listen this song has been in every other one of my playlists forever and I need someone else to loose their breath to it

The number of things it could be about. The man reaching out for something, anything to validate his experience and the girl still lost in the moment, both thinking the other couldn't possibly be going through the same thing. The innocence and loss of it. They were kids that I once knew. This song is very special to me. It's also just. Very pretty.

Are you looking for wives then?

Anyway, remember the thing I said about my favorite song? Listen away guys

[its-a-toasty-tune]

MEPHISTOPHELES

Crywolf, widow [OBLIVIØN pt 1] (2019)

Genre: indie-electronic, indietronica, goth and industrial-inspired Feel: clean goth industrial clang, sluggish, cinematic

When to Listen

you just finished a long day working and you need to take the edge off but first you need to stare at a wall

it's really late at night and you should be winding down but you're busy feeling sorry for yourself

your mind's eye wants to visualize some badass contemporary dance

the weather is garbage and you're inside but feeling violent about it

you want a little overdrama

Why I Deem this Track Toasty

It's so angsty.

It's literally about crashing to earth, and with its weight, the song makes you feel it. LOOK AT THIS.

So it begins The hollow Breathe in my lips Legato Clip no more wings Kill the sparrow Call it the straight And narrow In sight of land Convinced the stars were falling down I saw you silent, releasing the rope from your hand You're falling again You're falling again You fall Underneath I'm sleeping (I'm not sleeping anymore)

[okaydiscount]

i made a playlist!!! for the these guys!!! and its bad! but its just a bunch of songs that range from vaguely makes me think about them to being in agony because its so them fr fr and i cant do anything about it :)

(its a small playlist but if youll just NOTICE!!! all the album art is color coded. :) not on purpose at first but then i realized hey. its all blue and orange.... woah.)

the non filtered verison for yall cuz heh.. i can get a lil overboard with that stuff.

also honestly this was all kinda just for the song FM by junior boys, and i felt maybe i should do more so i did. its a good song i think the lyrics fit them pretty well.

song of the day (1)

"Man Proposes, God Disposes" from The Lamb as Effigy by Sprain

Rating: 10/10

starting of my daily series of pretentious ramblings with one of faves. this is the type of song where i listen to it and think "is this it? is music over? have they made the perfect song?" i think i wouldve given at least four of my limbs (because that is all the limbs i am aware of at this point in time. otherwise i wouldve given more) to have seen sprain live before they broke up. the bass in this song and the odd dissonant intervals in the main riff are really what sell this song for me and make it such a great listen. the lyrics will tear you apart. this song kicks off the rest of the album in the most perfect way and sets high expectations for the rest of the album, which is absolutely met in the lamb as effigy. my other two favorites from this album are reiterations and we think so ill of you.

"Inhale, exhale etcetera Animals eat animals etcetera Animals fuck animals etcetera Do I have to spell it out for you?"

Matryoshka

by Hachi (Kenshi Yonezu) ft. Hatsune Miku & GUMI

I loved this song as a kid. Still do. Even though I haven’t really listened to it in a long time, I still hear it in my head perfectly. I first heard this song around 2013 or earlier. I was around 10 years old.

[anniflamma]

have you read (or did you enjoy) madeline miller's song of achilles? your post about the shitty book made me think to ask, cause i've been wanting to get into retelling/modern writing, but don't know where to start lol

So I don’t think I’m the right person to ask whether you should read The Song of Achilles or not. XD

I have read the book… buuut… I kinda didn’t finish it. Thing is, the book is good, no, really! Even though I dropped it, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad book per se, it’s just that I realized it wasn’t really written for me, and I lost interest in continuing.

There are a lot of good things in the book that I makes me genuinely recommend it. Miller has a fantastic way of describing emotions in a poetic, almost abstract manner. She paints scenes and moments beautifully, and I think that’s true the highlight of The Song of Achilles. So my verdict is you should give it a try! If not, then I'll could recommend you The Prince’s Psalm by Eric Shaw Quinn. Simply due to it's one of my favorites.

If you looking for something shorter, then Medusa by Jessie Burton.

Here’s the "nag section" (in case anyone’s curious why I dropped The Song of Achilles):

So the downside? The way Miller writes the queer relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is… very… very… heteronormative. It’s extremely clear that Patroclus is the "woman" and Achilles is the "man" in their dynamic. When they’re intimate, Achilles is the one doing and spurting, while Patroclus experiences "floral feelings" in his nether regions. The book isn’t explicit, but the text often accidentally describes them having straight sex. XD

There were so many moments while reading where I’d pause and think, "Oh, I can tell this is written by a straight woman who really likes the idea of a housewife." That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just the vibe I got. For comparison, when I read The Prince’s Psalm by Eric Shaw Quinn, I kept thinking, "This is written by a gay man who really loves tall, broad-shouldered, masculine men who make him feel small." It’s oddly similar to each other, Patroclus and David share the same character traits. Both are small insecure men, it’s just that the authors take different approaches to how they depict it.

The reason I dropped The Song of Achilles was that I just wasn’t interested in Patroclus being portrayed as this sweet, insecure, self-hating boy who sits in the tent all day and gets happy when Achilles comes back after a hard earnd work in the battlefield. I expected something more fluid in their dynamic. Don’t get me wrong, insecure protagonists are fine! For example, in The Prince’s Psalm, David is insecure too, but he also resents being seen as fragile by other men around him. The book explores that tension in David and Jonathan’s relationship. David kills Goliath not out of honor or duty, but because he wants to prove Jonathan wrong, even spite him, he did it out of anger. David is insecure, which also makes him envious. He gets angry easily but also quick to forgive. He is an romantic person, who loves the idea of Jonathan proposing to him and being swept up but he also wants to be seen as a "manly" man. He is faithful but when he have the conversation with Jonathan about their bounderies, they come to the conclution together who they can sleep with, no men and only women if you are married to them. David changes and the irony with it is that his change is also a cause why Jonathan died.

For Patroclus, I think he is very flat. He is incesure and he is a good boy. And sadly I really don't remember if there was anything else than that. Most of his reaction is based on Achilles actions. The reason why he is good with fighting is cuz gods are helping him. The reason why Achilles like Patroclus so much is... I don't know really, the text only describes how pretty Achilles is, it very superficial. Patroclus likes Achilles becasue Achilles isnt Patroclus.

Here’s the funny thing…

After all that, I still recommend The Song of Achilles! There's a reason why there are so many retelling books now. I genuinely believe The Prince's Psalm wouldn't have been published if The Song of Achilles hadn't existed. The book is a romanticization, and it was written around 2008 or so. That explains why Miller wrote them like that. I see the heteronormative dynamic between Achilles and Patroclus as simply a product of its time.
