for the person who asked for woolf recommendations: a room of one’s own is incredible and well-worth reading, and orlando is my favourite of her fiction books! x

I have heard amazing things about it and I must read her work as soon as I find the time. Thank you for your contribution, Claire!

Last song: Jennifer Juniper by Donovan.

Last movie: Hold The Dark. This film was slightly confusing? (maybe it’s just that i wasn’t paying enough attention?) but i enjoyed the atmosphere!

I was tagged by @ohthoumylovelyboy to answer these questions. Thank you Hero ily!!!!!

your favorite album: I have many favorites, but for now I’ll choose American Idiot by Green Day.

your favorite song/favorite song from that album: My favorite song from that album is “Letterbomb.” But if you ask me my favorite song in general, I’d have no clue how to answer that. I have way too many!!

most listened to artist(s): Twenty One Pilots, Green Day, and Linkin Park

an album that’s important to you: Vessel by Twenty One Pilots. That album got me through a lot of shit. Tyler Joseph is such an amazing lyricist and he writes about stuff that I personally relate to. In my deepest moments of depression I’d always go to that album. I still do. It makes me feel not so alone. It gives me strength to keep living. I mean, look at these lyrics from Truce, the last song of the album: “Stay alive, stay alive for me / You will die, but now your life is free / Take pride in what is sure to die.”

a song that’s important to you: “Rainbow” and “Praying” by Kesha. Those two songs got me through the worst summer of my life. The fact that she went through something similar and was still standing gave me strength to keep going too. Her lyrics felt so close and personal to me and I knew that she understood exactly what I was going through because she went through the same thing. I even saw her in concert that summer and I sobbed when she sang Praying. I don’t know if I would’ve survived that point in my life without her and her music.

what makes you like a song: I have a really wide variety of tastes (my Spotify playlist is a complete mess). But I like songs that really build up and crescendo, whether it be the instrumentals or the singer belting or both. I also really appreciate well-written and emotional lyrics, especially when I personally relate to them.

your favorite instrument to hear in a song: I love a good heart-pumping bassline (electric bass, upright bass, bass drum, etc.) and I also LOVE electric guitar riffs. That’s what I miss most in lots of modern music; that really wailing hardcore rock sound.

a song from your childhood: “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen

a song to dance to: “Slow Dancing in the Dark” by Joji. I wish I had a S.O. so I could slow dance with them to this song :(

a song that reminds you of love (any kind not just romance): “On My Own” from Les Miserables reminds me of unrequited love. It’s one of my favorite (if not my absolute favorite) songs from a musical. And my favorite version is by Lea Salonga :)

a song you love lyrically: “The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie” by mewithoutYou and “Go or Go Ahead” by Rufus Wainwright. Two of my favorite songs of all time, and they’re lyrically BEAUTIFUL!!!
