Luckily I haven't lost anyone close they have thankfully all managed to get healthy again.īasically, I've had a couple of summers where sleep took a backseat to the ole Bolivian marching powder, as I think YBB once called it. But on principle I've always had a fear of opiates (and all pills, for that matter), because I've seen others struggle with them for long periods of time. I've only tried opiates 4 times: percoset thrice, and vicodin once. Barely even knew what Xanax was, or what it's used for, before now. Luckily I've never been into pills myself. Thanks for sharing your story, jloo! And thanks to others who have recently shared theirs as well. But just in terms of sheer quality, Utopia seems to be on that level. Utopia immerses me in such a different world-especially emotionally speaking-that I can't even really compare the two albums. Yup, Björk's at yet another creative peak! Somehow it took me until this year to fully realize that Vulnicura is not just a very good Björk album, but a straight up masterpiece. A sure contender for the Penultimate SOTY category. Even the preceding 12 tracks couldn't have prepared me for this one's beauty. Yet the song is still very much of this album's world, and no other.Īnd then "Saint". "Losss" stood out to me for having some melodic parts that reminded me a bit of "It's in Our Hands", along with some crunchy beats at the end similar to "Joga" and "5 Years". But it's also complex and long enough that it's overwhelming on first listen. Gonna need more time with this one-time I will very much enjoy spending! It's definitely her most inviting/immediately listenable albums in a while. :)Īlso, just in a musical sense, this album proves that you have a good ear for melody in general! Particularly "Part of Me" is fucking beautiful! And the pitch-shifted vocals throughout rather remind me of my 2009 main-stay Memory Cassette-and I mean that as a total compliment.
ALCEST HAS IT LEAKED HOW TO
Because that is something that I am still learning how to do.
I love the line-in the last song- "let them fucking hate you" so much. And in terms of my own trans identity, I am still fairly closeted, and am not brave. (I am a 31-year-old poet/ wildland firefighter/ virgin. The last track especially has inspired me to try to be more fearless in terms of my own social gender identity/ notions thereof. ) (and I have already made repeat listens to "Part of Me", "No Harm No Foul", "Bloom", and "Wren"). And I really like this album upon a first (slightly-drunken) listen.
Thank you for making this album, Phospho! I am always happy to see your comments on articles here on the 'gum.
