#i have normal thoughts about this album

[lonelydncers]

i can’t sleep. i’m thinking about maisie starting her album talking about everything she’s still feeling and doing even after some time has passed and her closing the album talking about everything that’s new in her life and moving on and closing that chapter. i’m okay. i’m feeling normal about this.

#i think about this album a normal amount #i have normal thoughts about this album #i’m so normal #the normalest even #maisie peters #the good witch #tgw #overanalysis #song analysis

idk idk idk I just don’t get why some fans took this album as a personal attack!! Even in the songs where she alludes to people judging her in general I really took it as “wow she must trust us so much to share this with us.” And if you took it personally then you either need to take a step back or maybe you should actually take it personally and maybe realize why your invasion into Taylor’s personal relationships can actually cause harm to her.

#like trust me I didn’t like her matty but I went about my day normally and didn’t bitch and complain about him all day #yeah matty sucks as a person but I was worried about Taylor I wasn’t mad that she was in a relationship I could no longer project onto #anymore #autumn rambles #i definitely did have an ‘oh shit this play is about us’ moment when I heard that one song (I can’t remember the title) but then i #followed up that thought with she’s allowed to say what she thinks and feels the same way I was allowed to express what I thought #so it’s only fair that she would share and mention that on the album when it was clear that people’s disdain for them together actually #pushed them closer rather than further apart like she said on the album

my mom is fishing for a specific opinion about this song my brother's working on and I don't know what it is

#I don't have any context cause she's sneaking it to me behind his back(???) #like is it personal or is it from the concept album he's been working on? #do you think he's mad at you? do you think he's mad at ME? #I already HATE being asked 'what are your thoughts about [thing]' with no context clues about what the other person expects or wants #always feel like I'm going to get a bad grade in having thoughts it stresses me out so much (normal and neurotypical) #but at least if it was my brother asking I could be like 'well first of all it fucks' and we'd both talk about the Themes together #mom don't be fucking weird for five minutes challenge #like I'm nervous to play this game it feels like a trap #about me

having a normal one today: wrote smut and now i think i have Permanent Blorbo Thoughts Syndrome and it’s terminal i fear.

#i wrote the conclusion of this sex scene i’ve been working on for week and now i am infected with post coiltal Scenarios #and this is rebelcaptain we’re talking about so they can’t be normal about it ovciously #**obviously #my husband and are baking cinnamon rolls literally the most wholesome shit ever #and i am standing in the kitchen like ‘oh that would be devastating’ while staring at the dough #what i’m saying is is that i need to finish this chapter it has to get out of my head #also IDLES released a new album yesterday and considering that i headcanon that as Jyn’s favorite band i am having even MORE blorbo thought #because of course we are listening to it #as i said. having a normal one #shut up frost

taylor swift makes me angry because her good songs are so good like she’s genuinely a very skilled musician and songwriter but then her bad songs are the worst songs i’ve ever heard. they’re absolutely terrible. and her mediocre songs are painfully mediocre but people keep saying that all of her stuff is good. like. i know that she can write good songs. i’ve heard them. but the stuff that is not good is Really Not Good

#maeve posts #anti taylor swift #i wish i had normal feelings about her/her music but i just can't #because some of it sucks but people still act like it doesn't #there is absolutely no reason that tracks from midnight should've made up the entire top 10 on the billboard charts #most of those songs are mediocre at best #and what really gets me is that half of her singles are the bad ones!!!!! girl why would you use a bad song as a single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #you have better ones!!!!!!!! i have heard the better ones!!!!!!!! #[that part is not about antihero i thought that was one of the better ones on the album even if it's still mediocre and boring] #but then i listen to something like death by a thousand cuts or the 1 and it's like!!!!! this is a great song!!!!!! fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #i know she can write good songs so why does she also write really bad ones and then promote them?????

sometimes I buy tickets to an event and when the event comes up I'm like.... why did I do that.

#black country new road tonight I guess!!! #it'll be fun but I haven't listened to that album much at all lol #but should be great as a live performance #also I'm sick of my job already.... I may NOT start wednesday when I thought I would! it's twisted #excuse me. I couod have attended an arts and crafts fair you BITCH. #I will on the weekend but my friend was getting on my ass about wanting to attend day 1 #dont even wanna go with her #sorry for being hateful I will feel normal after some good music 🫶

I can listen to the most deranged free improvisation albums that most people in their right mind wouldn’t consider to be music and be like “man I love this” (topography of the lung baby) but something as universally well-liked as Godspeed! you black emperor comes about and I’m like “this shit just doesn’t hit idk” 😭

#though I liked the album who’s name is impossible to tag more than I thought I would #so maybe g!bye isn’t the right example #let’s see which controversial music opinions do I have #well normal people opinions not the opinions of someone who listens to jpop idols with two monthly listeners like I normally do #I hate sigur ros I do not like music as the right to children at all spiderland didn’t hit #I’m super picky about most metal though I kinda wish that would change #SUNG TONGS IS BETTER THAN MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION #since I left you didn’t fully hit but I also think frontier psychiatry is one is the best songs ever #my favorite coltrane I’ve heard so far is ascension… #words of mine #the last person I saw on Twitter who hated boards of Canada got destroyed…these Sesame Street samples are SERIOUS to people 😭 #it was frightening #wait it’s called frontier psychiatrist not psychiatry ALAS

somewhat pleased to announce that in case someone wanted to know, and i really don't see why they wouldn't, the cameras that atz use in the cawaii men photoshoots are

fujifilm simple ace p&s camera (for taking photos), and

most probably? pentax spotmatic (the one hj, sh and jh pose with)

#YOUNG PEOPLE NOWADAYS!!! they're wasting film like pros :''') #shrimp thoughts #actually this is terribly artificial behaviour. i was not organically possessed by the urge to check what kinda camera are they posing with #but i DID think it would be funny if i did and then acted like it's a completely normal thing to do. hence. #i should learn up on hj's photography... he did have an exhibit a while ago after all #i'm curious about the pics the guys took with the fuji cameras! what % of them was unsalvageable lol #i know it was probably cold/late/both outside and that they were on a schedule but yknow what they say #or maybe they don't. but anyway the person who picked up THING three seconds ago acts like they know everything there is to know about #THING. and so. as this very person. i'd like to say the pics would probably be better if they could take them outside? you can see #the p&s all have flash but still! oh also that reminds me of my minor gripe w/ atz photoshoots namely. they're All Indoors #well not ALL all but sooo many of them are and it pains me because i love outdoorsy photoshoots #like the one in the diary ver of fever 3 or the second part of the fever epilogue diary ver #...and fever 2 diary ver too. wait are diary versions just More outdoorsy/less Studio Photography? HM #but anyway! i just like when models can interact/blend in with their surroundings. it's always much more interesting when there's something #Else going on in the photo than just one color background/the walls of a room. this is why i loved l**na's predebut album photoshoots becau #*because each was in a different location! several different locations even! sometimes you'd even get a photo that has no people in it #simply because the surroundings are so pretty! #oooh now that i think about it d-day is like that too. yoongi heard me grumbling abt how much i hate those empty pages in bt/s albums #and went Not On My Watch lol #anyway. sorry i'm rambling for no reason gkhsfgkjfsf

Hi emmi I hope you're having a good day!! <3

Can I get a ranking of songs from Born Sandy Devotional please?

cara, you have literally made my entire day, my entire week, fuck it, you've probably made my entire life by asking this question! can i just say, this album is absolutely a no-skips album - every single song deserves to be number one because they are seriously no flops. david mccomb, you wonderful man, i can’t believe you’ve done this! anyway let’s get down to business <3

10. stolen property i feel bad for this song because i haven’t given this song a real good listen mostly because i, a simpleton, can’t really get into a song that goes for longer than five minutes. and this song is 6:47. rip. i am a product of my time i know but i am sure once i listen to this song fully in the proper mood i will be in love with it. i mean it’s one of steve kilbey’s favourite songs and i’d trust that man with my life when it comes to music!

9. chicken killer

i do really like this song, it’s a pretty goofy song. i’m sure if you look closely at the lyrics there are plenty of references to love and literature that i am too blind to see. i’d like to imagine this is one of those songs where if i pick at it i can notice small things which to be fair is the real joy of music. being able to notice those things you wouldn’t normally see and create something from them.

8. lonely stretch

again i really do like this song! there is a real riders on the storm by the doors vibe to this song but it has been completely flipped on its head. it feels like you’re driving out and you take a wrong turn and the dread and worry and anxiety just builds up throughout the song as you slowly descend into madness along the highway. this is the reason i feel like dave gets a lot of credit for being a fantasic songwriter, you can imagine yourself just feeling lost with this song - not even in a geographic sense but in a ‘what am i suppose to do now with my life?’ sense.

7. life of crime the dark and foreboding sense in this song, the imagery through both the lyrics and music is incredible. i love the slight western feel to has to it, if that makes sense?? david's voice is commanding and masterful, he almost becomes a preacher and you almost gets a sense of what his voice was capable of in later albums. 

6. personal things that organ and bass line hook playing that almost carnival/carousel waltz just grabs you and refuses to let go. again the sotry this song tells, he listed off items that his former lover owned, he described such small almost insignificant details such as what colours she wore but he teases the listener but not relieving all of the colours. why??? why would not tell us the colours?? again it’s the way that david pulls the listener in as you realise what this song is about, the breakup of a relationship that he doesn’t want to break up. it’s so conflicting which i think is the reason it’s so good

5. tarrilup bridge yeah yeah baby!!!! jill birt coming in to save the day!!! i am so glad david got her to sing this song because her voice almost becomes a part of the song and world he has created. she is literally the character of this woman i love the story this song has, it could almost be told as a ghost story! it reminds me a lot of early kate bush such as wuthering heights or hammer horror with these ghostly figures and disembodied voices telling these spooky stories about themselves. it sends shivers down my spine, especially towards the end how the disembodied voice just repeats ‘and i drove off the edge of the tarrilup bridge’… just so haunting ! it’s like the ghost of this woman just slowly pulling you down to the underworld!!!

4. estuary bed i have a soft spot for this song because it does remind me very much of my home town which was very coastal and that feeling of walking home. again i hear this song and i am transported into a world, either my own or david’s. all the credit to mister mcomb here, he has such a way of creating an atmosphere in a song. it just takes you back to those carefree days walking in the blistering sun and creates a landscape that you can picture so vividly.

3. the seabirds this song is a masterpiece. i almost hate it that it is third because it is more than just that. it’s more than it will ever be. all the elements add something to this song to create, for me, an overwhelming sense of sadness. that guitar just causes such an ache in my chest that i almost feel like going to explode.i think the lines ‘she said "what's the matter now, lover boy, has the cat run off with your tongue? // are you drinking to get maudlin or drinking to get numb?"’ are some of the greatest lyrics ever written, and i hope david is proud of himself for those. speaking of lyrics i almost can’t listen to the lyrics of this song because if i focus too much on them i kinda get emotional??? in the end, this man has died and he’s so wrecked that even the sea birds refuse to come and eat him - and then he turns on us as the listener asking where were we? why weren’t we there to stop the suffering?. this song is a tragedy and that is the beauty of it.

2. wide open road here we go lads. i mean this song,,,, what can i say about this song? it’s honestly one of the best songs written, dare i say it’s the best song ever written. it is such a simple song but that is where it’s so complicated. the way that david has created this world about the breakdown of this relationship while creating a landscape through words is a little short of amazing. i mean ‘i wake up in the morning thinking i’m still y your side // i reach out just to touch you, then i realise it’s a wide open road….” just jesus fucking christ. you’re causing me serious pain here david!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s just so brutally honest, in both the emotions and vulnerability he shows but also the anger and hurt - “i drove out over the flatlines // hunting down you and him’. also that petal steel mixed in with that drum machine to create the space atmosphere again just perfect. you can not record this song in any other way, you just would not get the full meaning of it - everything in this song is perfect and shouldn’t be touched. there is a reason this song deserves all the hype in the world it gets, it’s just beautiful, and it’s well done.

1. tender is the night (the long fidelity) the perfect end to the perfect album <3 i totally get why people see this song as one about mr mcomb himself. whether that was the intention or not, i don’t know but i find it very hard to hear this song without thinking about him. again everything about this song is perfect and if you were the remove even the slightest bit from it just would not be the same song or make the same impact this song does. i just adore the line "where you are it will just be getting light", as graham lee said poetically “an amazing way to in so few words say you’re not here and i miss you”, which you can see in so many different ways and that is the wonderful part about music. also the part ‘he never asks after her anymore, he made a point of losing her address // and every trinket that she ever touched he keeps locked away and just burns up in the furnace of his chest” is so fucking beautiful, and anyone who has been in love can relate which is the most heartbreaking part about it. all the lyrics are just a goldfield of emotion and heartache, plus with the music and that petal steel mixed with jill’s sweet voice creates for a perfect cry fest </3 thank you so much david for all the work you left us, you make it feel like everything is ok.

#ask #earthandsunandmoon #i wish i was normal about this but then i would not be having as much fun as i am now! #this album is my new it girl but i do believe it will have such a lasting impact on my life forever #not to get all morality and whatever but this is such a wonderful album i want all the world to listen to it #can't even lie cara i have been waiting for you to ask me a question about the triffids and i still couldn't believe it once i saw it!!!!!! #my answer to this has been on my mind all day. it's all i can think about. #i'm so glad you are getting into them. i always thought they would be a band you'd like because they're quite landscapey

[furbyseverywhere]

me trying to enjoy the new mv while also wanting them to just be a band again

#i'm usually a silent enjoyer but i was at work when the music video dropped and I had to keep working like everything was normal #don't get me wrong i enjoyed the video #but i just wanna see them play instruments again asjdnajsdnasd #i have more complicated feelings and thoughts on the subject but posting on tumblr is scary enough #i got like....a job and taxes to worry about i don't wanna worry about the monkey band too much #gorillaz #either way this album is gonna slap my nuts clean off music wise

[noxtivagus]

listening to a lot of songs rn n i'm just thinking of how much i love my music taste

#🌙.rambles #from the softest piano melodies to metal or wtvr #hehe i watched like. i came across the orchestral version of animals by the architects n i saw s&m from metallica in the comments #thought i'd listen to it sometime n well yk what the day after when apollo n i were talking about music in the car #our dad hehe mentioned the album ^^ he bought the disks long ago even iirc???? #n he played from the spotify album i think n this night i've been listening to some songs as well as a lot others too #I REALLY SHLDVE LISTENED TO THESE EARLIER AAAA #i only listened to 2 so far bcs i keep on adding stuff to my queue n i've made 3 playlists w nearly the exact same songs uh #YEAH YOU GET THE POINT 😭 i have. nearly 900 playlists in my library bcs i just rlly love music so much i want to #yk. organize it Somehow or just place it somewhere but man it gets out of hand fr but honestly idrc #i listened to nothing else matters from the s&m album n then devil's dance #just those two so far bcs of the reasons i just mentioned n I LOVE IT SO MUCH AAAA N THE NORMAL VERSION TOO #songs like. devil's dance from metallica & the end of the dream by evanescence & cerberus from ffxv's ost & #the apocalypsis songs from ffxv; noctis/aquarius/magnatus #all have this vibe to me that i grp them together with. #n then. another vibe would be insanity from ffxiv's ost & illuminated world from gbf (both versions) #as well as angels from within temptation #listening to music just puts me so at ease i love it when my mind is at work n just. idk how to explain but yk analyzes it n all!!!! #i genuinely really don't want this to come off as bragging or being arrogant n i probably didn't have to say this but #i have trauma from some old friends being mean to me abt that when i was just happy n passionate 😭 #but i like my. genes. being intelligent really is in my blood #i love that honestly. the way i grew up with so much. #loving life. being curious about everything. reading so many books watching so many shows n #god i grew up with those + music n video games too. hehe i'm rlly glad i grew up mostly well w my family at least #n yeah i've always been naturally intelligent. n then. i'm.. special too in a way i suppose it wouldn't be wrong to say #i have a twin. i grew up in a way i really like. i've really grown to be able to love myself n love life at heart #though i do definitely know how hard it gets. n. that makes me appreciate all these things more n. yk yh help others bcs i know how it is

[godofsmallthings]

if nothing else this album has eased my worries abt taylor changing her last name if she were to get married. a win for me.

#thank god pls normalize this king! #but also the fandom convos surrounding this have been so interesting to watch #because on one hand a lot of people are refusing to acknowledge that it's them (hi) they're the problem it's them #but on the other hand ive seen people say this means she doesn't want to get married or have kids #and maybe she doesn't! #but not wanting to be defined by being a wife and a mother and not wanting to be a wife and a mother are two entirely different things #taylor is also someome who has talked about wanting kids for her entire career (and most recently in 2019 unless u count anti-hero bridge) #so i don't think it's fully out of place to assume that hasn't changed. #but also like it's not our life it'll happen if/when it happens! #anyway these are my thoughts and the feminist musings on marriage and women's relationships on this album are SO interesting #also paints champagne problems in a whole new light #vi is typing...

[showmethestarlight]

So I think my thoughts on The Tortured Poets Department are that I'm a little conflicted. I think it is a good album, the sound is a bit Midnights and folklore and evermore, which is a bit messy but it kind of works. I think it's more of a matter of which kind of albums you prefer for where it falls in your rankings but the albums that are mostly slow songs that stay at the same level/tempo aren't my favourites so this isn't my highest (I love Speak Now for example for songs like Haunted) but I still had a good time listening and I still had a few I liked a lot on the album. I liked the sound and storytelling of But Daddy I love Him, I think Florence and Taylor's voices are really good together on Florida!!! I liked My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys, and I loved the dark and deep atmospheric feeling of Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? And I thought Clara Bow got its message across really well. There are some songs I'm confused by and I think I'll need some time with to understand like Fortnight and Fresh out the Slammer and some odd little lyrics here and there that I think maybe could have been cut because they just felt out of place or unnecessary. And I just don't think I'll ever be much of a fan of Guilty as Sin? I think I like Cassandra but at the moment it feels too much like mad woman. I think those are all my thoughts so far, I probably need a few more listens to process everything.

#concerned about people saying some of these songs are probably about M Healey #i can see how a couple of them could be and that makes me uncomfortable #i done normally care who each song is about #but he was just a bad person who did some awful things #so i don't really want there to be any songs about him #it dort of implies that she doesn't realise why it was bad that she was with him #yeah maybe there was some kessy relationship stuff going on but he was a sexist and a racist? #so if you have to write about him at least don't put him on the album #not gonna put all that in the main post though because we can't know for sure what all the songs are about #it's just a little disappointing and frustrating #just noticed all those typos I'm so sorry #showmeposts #also as mentioned in this post i quite liked but daddy i love him but if that's about MH then i don't know if i can like like it 😭 #some of the vibe also seems like excusing being with him as she was in such a bad place she did didn't see that he wasn't a good idea #but that's still just an excuse it doesn't mean it was okay #this is such a messy rambly assortment of thoughts I'm sorry #maybe it's because I've only listened a couple of times and he lyrics are still a bit confusing to me #but there doesn't seem to be as much of an exploration of the breakdown of a longterm relationship as we thought there'd be #i don't know it seems a shame #like I've said i don't usually care who the song is actually about but that would make an interesting theme for an album and it would be #interesting to see her process that #but maybe it's just because I'm still trying to understand what half of these songs are about

[monstermoviedean]

i can't believe they did that. i can't believe that happened.

#I didn't even consciously register it as young and menace #my soul ascended i had zero thoughts in my brain except to sing as loudly as i possibly could #as if screaming it would encourage him to play it more #I didn't remember the name of the song. I didn't remember my own name #still feel like i need to be scraped off the ceiling #i can't believe it. i am so lucky. i am so so so lucky. #i can't think about all this band has meant to me and still means to me i get too emo (ha!) #but mania was Thee album that got me through 2020 and y&m may be the most mania song of them all #that with the car metaphor the day my car broke down #i can't describe how it made me feel like things would be okay #and even if they're not. i still have fall out boy. #jesus christ okay i need to go to bed #can't promise to be normal tomorrow but maybe! thanks for sticking with me <3
