Soul/indie rock singer ALBA shares debut EP, 'Questions Unanswered'

British-Spanish singer-songwriter ALBA‘s debut EP, ‘Questions Unanswered’, is a conceptual collection that goes on a journey of introspection and self-discovery, while delivering ALBA’s signature blend of guitar-driven pop-rock infused with sunlit soul and R&B. From to the inward-looking musings of ‘Am I enough?’ to the empowering feminist anthem in ‘Are you really free?’, the EP explores topics…

having Cassandra and Apollo thoughts...

thoughts about how she still calls Apollo "the god I love", even after the curse. how he gifted not just her, but her twin with the gift of prophecy. he loved both of them. they loved him.

I know people claim Athena avenged Cassandra's rape at the hands of Ajax but tbh that wasn't Athena avenging Cassandra - that was Athena punishing Ajax for violating the sanctity of her temple.

if Cassandra hadn't been inside Athena's temple, Ajax would have gotten away with it. and in a way, he did anyway.

and then when you think about Cassandra's death...the one to avenge her is the god she loves. Apollo. he cursed her, yes. but he still loved her too.

because think about it. apollo did not give a flying fuck about Agamemnon. if it was just Agamemnon who died, Apollo would have thrown a party.

but Cassandra was also killed. someone Apollo loves, and a favored priestess.

...remember what happened to Agamemnon when he insulted a priest of Apollo? a plague fell on the Achaeans.

and when Cassandra is killed...Apollo finds a way to make her murders pay the price. He gets Orestes to kill his own mother to avenge Cassandra.

frankly, I love them. I want more of them. This messy, complicated relationship with so much more meaning than "apollo got mad because she wouldn't sleep with him". Even with the cursory view I have, I can see there is so much more there.

Gods, I need to get my hands on those primary sources so I can obsessively read about them in full.

If anybody has recommendations on which primary sources have Cassandra and Apollo please tell me

I am begging you.

RAWRRAWRARWR I LOVE THEM👀

I also have thoughts about Apollo and Orestes but that's for another time

25 days of agere moodboards

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ day 14 : a song that reminds you of regression -> to the sky ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

♪ Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you Wide eyes will always brighten the blue Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery 'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind And take to the sky (you take to the sky) ♪

#this song is so deeply sentimental to me in my regression and i attempted to capture how it makes me feel with this moodboard #its literally perfect for us age regressors #it literally talks about looking on at the world with curiosity wonder and joy and being open to whatever path lies ahead of you in stride?#chasing your dreams and to not look back and leave the things that tie you down to take to the skies of life ahead??#dear firelights theres more to this brave adventure than you'd ever believe?? /ref /pos #i could ramble on and on but its just so thought provoking and nostalgic and makes me cry and i love it love it forever n ever #agere #age regression #sfw agere #sfw age regression #agere moodboard #sfw age regression blog #sfw agere blog #ember creates

my ears aren't trained enough to spot em all (except the Obv ones) but these references and callbacks to prev sagas are making me ascend i want to shed my mortal coil and get mixed into the music like a beaten egg

#didnt keep count of how many times i got shivers god i love musical theater #hearing warrior of the mind and legendary leitmotifs in well be fine #telemachus having my most fave songs...mayhaps recency bias #i can remember just subsisting off the draft versions for the last year and now that its here im in disbelief #i mean its deffo good that epic's production process is so well documented jrh is doing what most directors wouldnt be able to do #(side eyes dave malloy's moby dick)#(wdym the musical was too fucking long mr. malloy please i beg give me life-changing thought-provoking lyrics about the human condition pls #tbh ive had delulus of going to japan or korea to watch waitress or hadestown #like i wont understand the dialogue but i knew those songs by heart dammit #OUGH im remembering when korea was gonna put on a production of the great comet (sobbing crying weeping)#3am!dio back at it again with the thoughts #dellet-asides

YES I DO THINK. i hc that skully has their own rlly weird music taste however if you play a song one of the many loved they would feel feelings abt it. if you throw a bass at them they could pluck out something.

#in my mind and in the silly little au i have music means a LOT to every character #the human brain will forget so so much before it forgets music #like ppl w rlly bad dementia can still play piano but not remember family members #and since MH (and especially tim) has a lot to do with memories #and also since tim is THE music guy #its definitely a feature of my silly au #tim remembers brians old stuff he liked and also discovers jays burned cds and kinda. unlocks some memories there. some feelings too #even alex's taste made an impression on him #plus like. some of the old stuff's lyrics might ring true for him now #one of the main songs i think of when ruminating on the skully and tim part of the au is rlly ironic #its a song considered very strange but catchy #definitely NOT outwardly emotional or thought provoking at its base but #i MAY reveal it.. maybe

Come back to me…..

Look…..there’s something I want you to see…..

In the woolliness of the horizon just out of reach…..

Little origami fire lanterns heading for the beach…..

towards an Ireland calling out through the cloak of it’s own grief…..

…..Yet coming back to life again from a seven year sleep…..

We can follow them smoothly if we take one oar each…..

Tideless and unhurried we should row in with ease…..

…..and stay respectfully adrift from the symbols of peace…..

The sun could be rising or falling to its knees….

Breaking through the mist like the tops of the trees…..

The only movement is the largo sky finding its feet….

It has its own pulse but the heart doesn’t have a beat….

Unimaginable beauty…………….veiled with shadowy motifs…..

Moored up safely on the jetty…..but the boardwalk creaks…..

There’s no birds in the air…..or any sign the air breathes…..

…..but it’s so calm and uncoloured by different beliefs…..

A minute of your time is where everyone meets…..

Complete circles of friendship…..and the cycles repeat…..

…..A soundless sorrow on a season-less retreat…..

Like the perfect painting but you’ve kept the receipt…..

…………self installed ameliorated climate control techniques…..

Neither night or day…..or infections on the increase…..

Holding hands on white sands that look to be bleached…..

As far as we can imagine is as far as we can see…..

I can’t remember why we’re here but it’ll come back to me…………..

Were absorbing the effects of the valerian seeds…..

Only our eyes for stimuli…..only our faces to read…..

I think I’m only just realising…..you’re all that I need…..

Do you think we should stay or is it time to leave…..

The boat is locked up…..on a beach is made of keys………..

okay I love the Kills but doesn't it feel a little like their songs are never talking about anything important

#like Idk I might be wrong I'm not an english speaker so maybe I don't understand everything in their songs #but arent they quite unpolitical/ never expressing opinions on important matters in their music lol #which is fine I guess but also a little boring and not that rocknroll I think #like I'm not saying you gotta write songs that literally talk about ur government or whatever but idk I'm realizing #that I always find their songs cool but rarely thought provoking lol #ok confession time over #the kills

nate please please please please I am shaking you by the shoulders right now no one needs to do this please you can make a actual thought provoking interesting thumbnail for the song you don't need to appeal to clickbait algorithms anymore you're still letting yourself be bound to it people loved your early original songs for what they were without this. please stop doing this please stop changing thumbnails I am going to cry

#literally has done this to multiple thumbnails that were even perfectly okay before #I mean the original for this one wasn't all that good either but this is far worse #massive disappointment when I saw with you change it's so. boring and predictable I have seen it plenty of times before #literal opposite of what he was going for #not to mention SCRAP HEAP DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SONG TITLE ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE VIDEO ITSELF #nothing left to want became boring too though at least STILL INCLUDED THE TITLE IN IT #does he realize that. THIS is probably just damaging his content further?#I mean he can do whatever he wants and if he's happy with it then fine by me #but do you SEE the traction and views sandcastle kingdoms and paid in exposure got? besides his fnaf songs and parodies #he's ALSO known for phantom! an original song! and I hate that his rebranding of it as a hazbin hotel song actually worked!#because it's not going to continue to!#like dude we all know a lesson in grief has nothing to do with sonic. none of the lyrics tie into anything sonic related whatsoever #ik he's trying to get his stuff out there via the things he was once known for but maybe..... it's time to FULLY let go of that?#bc it's embarrassing to watch and it doesn't feel all that passionate. though he's dropped fandom music he's still very much bound to it #and ADMITS it #please you can make original and thought provoking art! without ties to fandom! idk what you did with your first two original albums #but it wasn't this and you should do it again #I swear nate people love your music for what it is and even though to let go was not my favorite #you still have potential far past what the algorithm is doing to you. none of this is genuine and it's very much present #in how you promote your music. I feel it when I see these thumbnails. I feel it when I watch these videos. it PUTS ME OFF so much #sorry for the rant in the tags and sorry if this is a hot take I hope y'all can see where I'm coming from 👍#natewantstobattle #nwtb #nathan sharp #nate posting #natewantstobtl

bejewelled -> i can do it with a broken heart -> clara bow is very interesting as a progression

i can still make the whole place shimmer -> 'the lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night', i can show you lies -> take the glory, give everything, promise to be dazzling

#not saying it's perfect but just thought provoking #and there are variations on the clara bow quote all the way through the song that are equally as interesting #ttpd #midnights #bejeweled #icdiwabh #clara bow

songbird's season of general sadness/first real grief/sorrow is coming to an end: (in chronological/journeying order) songs and poetry that helped my heart a lot these past few months :)

Always Good, Andrew Peterson / Marjorie, Andrew Osenga / Ask Polly article I read on a whim: 'My Boyfriend Refuses to Change' / You're On Your Own, Kid, Taylor Swift / One Foot in Front of the Other, Griff / Heavy, Mary Oliver / Monday by @madamescarlette / The Letter, Linda Gregg / Summer's Retrospective by @madamescarlette / Ode to Some Lyric Poets, Gregory Orr

(bonus--from the scraps of writing that came out of this chapter of life, which are slowly being assembled into a more coherent story:)

#yknow i felt so alone at so many points but i really really wasn't #i had such good friends (here and in my church community) who held my hand so gently #and God used the things i understood best to show me His incredible love at just the right moments #still an ongoing journey but i am so so grateful for the secondhand heart-strength given to me and the tenderness that was extended when i #when i was really at my lowest and saddest and most oversensitive and easily provoked to impatience or anger or depressive spirals #anyway i can't remember who sent me marjorie but thank you so much for that it was such a comfort. it continues to be #and thank you eden for sharing your beautiful poetry!!!! it continues to refresh and encourage my soul #mmmm it's hard to put into words what everything (and by everything i mean: the songs here and on my playlists #and the poetry here and the books i've read during the summer and into the autumn #from cyrano de bergerac to tolstoy to rilke's poems and dorothy sayers and dostoevsky and st therese & st teresa and madeleine l'engle #not to mention the night walks and morning prayers and the wonderful times i've had with the other dorm girls!#suddenly quite overwhelmed by the abundance of love and blessing #immensely immensely grateful for everything. i can be such a little wretch sometimes and wallow awfully for days #or act like a little human machine and try to Rid Myself of all emotional surges. or just focus on all the negative things with astonishing #tunnel vision (you wouldn't BELIEVE). but God has been so gracious despite songbird being a silly goose #and every once in a while having mental breakdowns and having to learn the same lesson (surrender and humility) a bajillion times #anyway!! my heart doesn't hurt anymore!!#and i am learning to take it one day at a time and to Rejoice in all circumstances #slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in year 21 #which really is so much harder than i thought at times!!!! but that makes it even more important to do so i think
