#this is about Ana Ng

[heycerulean]

i love listening to a song and it just sounds so right and it makes your bones get all jumpy

[gelarshiesprofruitboarder]

ana ng is so bill and ted. tbh.

[mellotronmkll]

So awkward when you have a concert coming up for a band you do love but you're so thoroughly in the middle of an intense hyperfixation on another band that you're like desperately trying to tear yourself away from them to listen to the band you're seeing and muster up some excitement but you like can't and then you feel bad . Or maybe this is just a really specific problem I have often

20, 40, 60, 80!

20 - I am curs'd to love B-sides and random EP songs the most, and this is an example. big chorus, nice rythm on the verse, inordinately fond of the songs that refer to times in the wee hours, that i discovered while working night shifts. sure i'm falling round til six in the morning, i'm being paid for it. see also: 3am by kate nash

40 - the only song by Kitten i like but i like it SO much, it was my top song in 2019 and seventh in 2020. love the discordancy and the drumbeat pulse. the promise of a white picket fence life is unusual for pop but i think i like that like... the trappings of the life are the same as the "bedroom guy"'s upbringing but the context is different. Also lol, i got spotify in late november 2019 so basically every song below about number 8 is unrecognisable to me. when did i listen to Death Cab For Cutie?

60- So if you've not seen Your Name, apologies for the spoiler but its on the cover - there's a comet, and it falls, and it falls so slowly. This song is eight minutes long and as best i can remember we watch the comet for four or five of them, this beautifully animated sparkling thing, falling and falling, torturously slow, as we wait to see what it will do when it lands. this song is the heroic swell as it starts to fall, and then the build, further and further and further, as it falls and falls and falls

80 - I'd not really heard about TMBG until somebody on twitter recommended this song with a specific recommendation - the sense that the right person was so, so far away. "they don't need me here and i know you're there". It manages to be this very straightforward love song about this entirely hypothetical person, the idea that we might never even walk in each other's presence. (i think at the time i was really into this song, my current partner was still living in china which makes it quite special to that relationship (she was dating someone else so not unknowingly pining for me, i would expect, but in fairness i'm not sure ms Ng is ever implied to be))

There are three other songs about Annas just in this spotify wrapped, one of which (Anna by Hello Saferide) has a good claim to being my all-time favourite ever. I'm honestly considering it for a baby name.

listen to that discordant wail! when your heart breaks indeed

"i don't want the world, i just want your half."

how do i explain this. i've been listening to ana ng on repeat, and it made me think about little sasha and milla, a world apart, doomed not to know each other for another decade or so. i can't lie, i'm very proud of this one 😅😅😅

[spindlyspidercat]

"they're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you"

closeups under the cut <3

This was for an art class homework assignment, i definitely overcomplicated it for myself but it was SO WORTH IT! (I got a 100% on it)

If you cant tell this is based on Spencer and Maeve from Criminal Minds... i love them so so much and this song makes me think of them >:3

And yes cutting out all the tiny words took me one million years (about three hours probably.. maybe more.)

[tmbgareok]

just letting you know. the video for ana ng on your official channel is blocked in the united states due to a copyright claim.

JF: I see. What is so odd about this is it seems ANYONE can post on YouTube using our music except us.

[lordbanquo]

“tmbg doesn’t have any love songs!” explain ana ng then 🤨 it’s literally about a long distance relationship that haven’t seen each other in person in a long time but still want to grow old together. he literally says “ana ng and i are getting old and we havent seen each other in years but we still love each other” he literally sings about the first time they met (the world fair) and how he goes back and hopes he’ll meet her again. he literally says “i’m assuring you that i love you just as much as i would if i was there in person”

Im happy my dad made me listen to tmbg from a young age for many reasons but one of them is that the nostalgia that comes with listening to a song and remembering that it was my or my brothers favorite when we were kids is so nice

[ur-fav-album-is-a-rock-opera]

Lincoln by TMBG: If it were a rock opera

PREFACE: THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SERIOUS INTERPRETATION OF THE STORY OF THIS ALBUM. THIS IS PURPOSEFULLY A HUGE STRETCH.

Ana Ng- We open to a man we'll call Joe, soliloquizing his love for a woman far far away. He woke up one day and an image of her simply popped in his head. This man, despite having never met this woman, feels a psychic connection towards her, and is sure they will one day meet and fall in love.

Cowtown- This man realizes that in order to find this woman he must take aid from a magical creature. His creature of choice is Ophiotaurus, of Greek mythology.

Lie Still, Little Bottle- We now turn the camera to a woman-- Ana Ng. She has turned to substance abuse to solve her problem: she is stuck in a horribly dull sales job. Ana is an extremely eccentric woman, who lives alone in a big house with only a cat named "The World", after the tarot card. Joe, across the earth, struggles with the same problems with his job.

Purple Toupee- Ana and Joe separately reminisce on their jobs and the events of their lives. They both feel that the only solution to feeling sad is working with higher up salesmen, who in Ana's part of the earth wear purple toupees to signify their high status. Joe, however, knows he is on a mission and has an obligation to find Ana, and so he quits his job.

Cage and Aquarium- Joe has followed his calling, and makes his way into Posidon's kingdom to search for Ophiotaurus. He feels creeped out by the water, but enters a sense of calm as he continues through the aquarium cage that is the ocean.

Where Your Eyes Don't Go- Joe continues through the ocean. He enters a nightmare dimension, similar to that of the scene in Moana with all the glowing ocean monsters. Though he's terrified, he continues on.

Piece of Dirt- We go back to Ana, who is not in the ocean, but rather on the earth-- which she views as a mere piece of dirt in her depression. She then has a sudden breakthrough, having the same vision of Joe as he had of her. She feels haunted by him, and makes up a name for this sudden phantom in her mind, calling him Mr. Me.

Mr. Me- Joe has finally found Ophiotaurus in the Ocean Monster realm. Ophiotaurus hears his tale, and takes him to Poseidon.

Pencil Rain- Poseidon arrives, and deems Joe's situation one he can aid with. He creates a rain of magical pencils, and then, carefully sorting through, gives one to Joe. This magical pencil will transport him to Ana's town immediately, once the magic words "The Pencil Rain" are spoken four times in succession. As he says these, he gets transported to Ana's town.

The World's Address- Ana, forever paranoid of the government, registered everything about herself under her cat's name. Joe is looking for Ana's address, but only manages to find a record of her cat; "The World",'s Address. He connects the dots and shows up at her door. Ana, who has been going crazy with trying to figure out who this man in her mind is, is even more freaked out when Joe suddenly shows up at her door. She rants at him, incomprehensible things, but he only loves her more.

I've Got A Match- Joe stays at Ana's house and chooses to take care of her. They gradually enter an unstable romantic relationship, characterized by Joe's obsession with getting Ana to love him and Ana's fear of Joe. However, now that Ana is in such a vulnerable state, she needs Joe to take care of her.

Santa's Beard- TIMESKIP! It's Christmas, because every rock opera needs a good Christmas song. (Looks at Tommy by The Who). Ana and Joe make a mutual friend, who works as a mall Santa. He isn't obsessed with Ana, and treats her kindly. She is immediately drawn to him, but Joe catches on and forbids her from seeing him again.

You'll Miss Me- We now get Mall Santa (who is also an Improvisational jazz musician)'s song. He is very sad that Ana has spurned him, and doesn't know Joe is the one being possessive. He writes a song with his band about Ana.

They'll Need A Crane- Joe is wary of Ana now. He loves her very much, but anyone could see that their relationship is codependent. Ana and Joe have also had to return to working their separate jobs, to support their relationship financially, and this puts even more strain on their relationship. Ana goes back to her drinking habits. Joe starts to see that they might not work out after all, but hates it and attempts to ignore it.

Shoehorn With Teeth- Joe has a weird dream in which he is desperately searching for a shoehorn.

Stand On Your Own Head- Joe wakes up from this strange dream, and somehow believes it is another sign from the gods, this time a sign to break up with Ana. He approaches it jovially, and she seems to not care, her only concern being about whether of not he will allow her to have custody of The World.

Snowball In Hell- Ana quits her job and Joe leaves her house. Ana decides to only do what is good for her from now on, even if it leaves her with a lack of money. She reflects on her time in the sales industry with a laughing attitude. She is finally starting to heal. Meanwhile, Joe must stay in his job. Having sacrificed everything to be with Ana, Joe is now stuck in a town he knows no one else in.

Kiss Me, Son of God- Joe rises up the ranks, and becomes the CEO of his company. He is now emotionally numb, an evil corporate supervillain. He takes advantage of anyone he can to make money, and wastes his life away like this.

I hope you enjoyed the first entry to my new project ! Request albums in my asks or respond to this with an album request, and I might do it especially if I know it well! :)

[cinnamoncokepills]

any other edblrs out there that are emetoph0bic (scared of thr0wing up/v0mit/others being s!ck) but are curious about purg!ng?? or maybe who have overcome the emetoph0bia?? it’s tempting bc l@x are tiring to work around, but i freak out and get all panicky…ig that’s why i’m ana and not mia lol

[desolate-honeycomb]

Here are is a fat shaming asmr and then a bf begging you to eat lmao

Pov: I find out you’re skipping meals

For some reason this one helps me keep r3strict!ng. Maybe it’s the determination to make someone need to feel worried about me. To shrink myself to such a small size that not eating would cause worry.

This one is just fat shaming the entire time 💀 blatant pro ana themes, surprised that it’s still on the site.
