I love you albums. I love you songs connected by similar themes. I love you listening to songs in a specific order picked by the artist. I love you reoccurring motifs throughout the same album. I love you album covers. I love you albums with extended editions. I love you songs that reference each other.

281. Tales from the Thousand Lakes - Amorphis (Melodic Death Metal, 1994)

Art by Sylvain Bellemare

The lyrics originate from a translation of the "Kalevala" - a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology.

The Kalevala is regarded as the national epic of Karelia and Finland and is one of the most significant works of Finnish literature

#as i am currently travelling far beyond the arctic circle and today also marks the day where this blog gets one year old #this was a no brainer to choose for the “anniversary” album - one of the first metal bands i ever listened to! #also thank you all for sticking around - for providing me with great music - conversation and more! #vacation queue #metal #melodic death metal #amorphis #art #artwork #music #painting #drawing #illustration #heavy music #artist #cover art #heavy #finnland #helsinki

RIP Lucy Gray,

You would have made an insane amount of money from a Surviving Coryo Snow inspired breakup album and a Comeback album after he died 😔.

#i know we don’t know what happens to her. don’t come for me #lucy gray baird #truly a songbird #i woulda been the first person to buy a ticket #mad bc we’ll never get anymore music from lucy gray bc she’s gone with the wind😔 #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #suzzane don’t play with me. drop the albums #i need a version of Hanging Tree sung by Katniss’ dad. lets make it full circle #can you tell that ‘pure as the driven snow’ and ‘nothing you can take’ are on repeat?

Circles never stop themselves in New Albion: Top tier, great lyric, so so good.

Circles [they can] never stop themselves in David: I'm going to start sobbing on the floor

#while dona isn't the first album in the shaperaverse it is like. the spiritual first. where everyone starts getting into his work #and the posthuman cabaret being the ending to it and this era closing out. FUCK. i need to lay down #like it's a thing of. this circle is finished #shaperaverse #reused lyrics reused anything in shaperaverse is like #kills me in one hit

I kind of miss the days when you had to go buy the cd first. Coming home and unwrapping it. Reading the booklet from front to back except the lyrics. Waiting to read the lyrics after I hear the songs for for the very first time. The wonder and surprised laughter of Blank Space. The quick indraw of breath when the first notes of Style came on followed by “oh I LOVE this” when the beat dropped. Playing it again before movingforward. Thinking WHAT IS HAPPENING?! when hearing OOTW because what kind of song was that? the best kind. Sobbing with This Love. And Clean.

I am deep in memory lane now writing this!

I remember that night so well. My first Taylor album as a new Swifty after hearing some of the songs from Red and falling for her because my heart had been broken and her songs made me feel less alone. I had no clue about her personal life at all. No JM no JG no HS. Just my heart and my stories in my head married up with her words. Pure bliss.

Ugh! Nostalgia! I have fond memories of running to HMV after school to get Speak Now and then running home, turning off all the lights in my childhood bedroom, shutting the door, and my eyes bugging out of my head reading the lyrics to "Dear John" for the first time.

And also the frantic energy of taking in so much information all at once because 1) New songs in your ears 2) New lyrics in your eyeballs 3) New secret messages in the liner notes to decode and write down.

I can even remember waiting an entire week for my Fearless limited edition box set to arrive in the mail because it was held up by customs and I didn't want to buy another copy of the CD so I just ... lived without having listened to Fearless for another week. And avoiding spoilers was so easy! BLISS!!!!!!

And who can forget turkey gobbles in retrieving 1989 from Target! (Remember when Target was in Canada for 0.05 seconds?) Because that's definitely a video I put onto the internet! I remember listening to that album all alone in my first grown up apartment, feeling feelings, and drinking a glass of wine in my queen sized bed all alone.

Anyway! Idk about you but I'm totally normal and very chill and in fact am experiencing no emotions. I've never been more relaxed in my life, actually.

#personal #also it makes me so soft to know that speak now was a LOT of people's first taylor albums they got to experience from release #and all the feelings this particular tv is bringing up for those people #because a lot of said people are in their late 20s now and we're experiencing that real full circle moment of girlhood and womanhood #and anyway once again i am dead inside and i have no feelings none at all very normal!!!!!!!!!

[get-back-homeward]

Guess what arrived this week!

I never buy reissues let alone preorder, but I had a hunch this set would be worth having, and I’m very happy with it. They look lovely together.

There's a nice little essay in each booklet that feels very appropriate for the times. You can read them here and here. If I had anything to complain about I'd say the CD sleeves are pretty risky. They're so tight, you gotta pinch them just right to get the CD out without scratching. I doubt I'm putting them back to their original spots. The spot behind the booklet is wide enough and will work fine as a substitute if you have single protective sleeves for each disc.

But all I really care about is the sound. And man, the sound knocks me out. Giles really outdid himself with these mixes. The only one I'd say I'm truly unhappy with is I Am The Walrus. The 2017 mix was fine to me, and messing with the ending seems silly, but it's easy enough to swap out. Out of 75 tracks, I expect a few to not be my favorite. It's more than worth it for the tracks that have clarified the sound and helped me to hear details I couldn't before.

The big changes are the additional songs, including George's songs and covers, and the 2023 mixes. With the backwards reissues, it's the Red Album that has the most new mixes here. They really surpass my expectations. This is the best I've ever heard their 1963 songs. Disc 1 adds I Saw Her Standing There, Twist and Shout, Roll Over Beethoven, This Boy, You Really Got a Hold On Me, and You Can't Do That. Disc 2 adds If I Needed Someone, Taxman, Got to Get You Into My Life, I'm Only Sleeping, Here There and Everywhere, and Tomorrow Never Knows. I have no qualms with any of them, they all feel like they belong here.

The biggest advantage of these newest mixes is the space between parts. It helps to hear Ringo's drums and percussion better in one part and George's guitar in another, hear Paul's bass here and harmonies there. I don't find any of the mixes too drastic save Walrus but together they really elevate the listening experience.

I found myself flagging John's songs as sounding best, and I think that may be a function of hearing more of the layers underneath along with the clarified vocals. Some of his harmonies with Paul just sound exceptionally good with this new tech. Norwegian Wood is a standout, as is Ticket to Ride. Norwegian Wood seems to push John's vocals further to the front instead of getting masked by the acoustic. The three-part harmonies sound divine on This Boy and Nowhere Man. I've seen criticism about the space changing the magic of the Rubber Soul tracks. If you don't like it, it's easy enough to swap out, but I didn't really have a problem with it.

On the Blue Album, of the five new mixes, Magical Mystery Tour and Hey Bulldog stand out best. It's actually kinda embarrassing how much I was missing from MMT before. I felt halfway through like I was listening to a brand new song. My one quibble is the strange placement of Hey Bulldog. It expected it to follow Lady Madonna on Disc 1 for roughly chronological order but instead it's between Blackbird and Get Back on Disc 2. I guess they were going by order of original release instead of recording date order used in the Anthology. But it was the one place the order threw me for a loop.

Placing Now and Then at the end of this hefty 75 track list is a controversial choice perhaps, but I think it bears the weight of the legacy well. Particularly because it's following The Long & Winding Road, which ends on Paul's plea: Don't leave me waiting here Lead me to your door

Now and Then starts with John's confession: I know it's true It's all because of you And if I make it through It's all because of you

It feels like a continuation of a conversation. An answer.

Paul's lyrical input is small but powerful, adding "will" and "always" to add certainty to John's cool now and then I miss you. Two lines were incomplete and required that Paul finish them. The completed line packs a punch: I want you to be there for me Always to return to me

This is officially the last Lennon-McCartney lyric, constructed across decades. But it doesn't feel like an ending, only a completed circle. Perhaps because this ending so seamlessly loops back to the beginning again: Love love me do You know I love you I'll always be true So plea-ee-ee-ease Love me do

And I guess if you want to go further: I'll do anything for you Anything you want me to If you'll be true to me

You can find bits across the track list that link as well: Now and then I feel so insecure Know that I just need you like I never done before

I’ll get to you somehow/until I do I’m telling you so you’ll understand

Life is very short and there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friend

Though I know I’ll never lose affection for people and things that went before I know I’ll often stop and think about them

To lead a better life I need my love to be here

Had you gone you knew in time we’d meet again for I had told you

Knowing that love is to share, each one believing that love never dies

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns and calls me on and on across the universe

It leaves me with an abundance of multiverse AU feels in the vein of Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Maybe there is something out there, some new discovery, that will make us feel like even smaller pieces of shit. Something that explains why you still went looking for me, through all of this noise. And why, no matter what, I still want to be here with you. I will always want to be here with you.

I would just like to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.

We live in the world they chose music and fame, and the songs they leave us with is their legacy and our gift.

The press for these releases has been a mess. But the BBC Eras series on The Beatles ends on two quotes that been stuck in my head all week:

It’s the last song that my dad and Paul and George and Ringo will get to make together. You know, even though it took a long time, it feels very synchronous that the lyric speaks about time and that it’s taken so much time and that it sort of fuses the past and present. It's like a time capsule. And it all feels very meant to be or fated or something. In the nicest sense. —Sean Lennon

When I remember the Beatles, I remember the joy. The talent. The humor. The love. And I think if people remembered us for that, for those things, I’d be very happy. —Paul McCartney

Full circle, indeed.

#red and blue albums #commemorating my 2022 bug rabbit hole officially #its the anthology to 2023 mixes full circle for me #i’ll have to transcribe the booklets #but i kinda love that the first page mentions get back #and mad day out photo featured inside is such a nice touch #i do think the attribution to derek taylor is actually a brian quote #apple still needs better factcheckers #2023 #mine #now and then #caveat being i still am uneasy about assuming johns original pov with any consensus on so much as a year #i am begging lennon estate for a year on that demo but im guessing if it was known itd be on the official apple releases and its not

uh oh gang I miss musicals

#aarrggh it's not like I haven't tried/liked any since lockdown started. I enjoyed watt lihn and rtc. #and it's only sort of that I don't know what's up in the current/recent theater scene #I could simply look up what's on and what cast albums have come out lately and pick something #and there have been plenty of cast changes and new productions for stuff I already like! #honestly I think the thing stopping me from getting back into musicals is that I've had a few computer changes since 2020 #and lost most of my bootleg collection so I don't really have ways to get new recordings of things I want #and I gather that most of that has moved onto private discord servers in the last two years anyway #and I just neither have the social skills to easily get into those circles nor the money to buy videos direct from masters #like. my friend and I were foiled THRICE from seeing the 50th anniversary jcs tour and they've said several times #that the best present I could get for them would be a video of that production so we could finally watch it together #but I don't even know where to go anymore to check if a video of that tour exists and I doubt I have anything worth trading for it anyway #most nothing problem in the world ik ik. but like. ;-; wanny see me shows... #sorry for being a bit maudlin about musical theater nonsense I'm not expecting any 'there theres' #I just can't really complain about this stuff irl without going through four layers of context first #marina marvels at life
