don’t come to me saying any language is ugly!! i WILL disagree with you. every language is beautiful just like every woman and every baby

#im actually being serious you don’t have to love every language but saying it’s ugly… some opinions are wrong #jasmine has thoughts

realised yesterday just how often hozier actually used to sing about being not quite alive, not feeling like a person, about loving someone in a way that defies death and made him more alive, about suffering death for love. it's like he was constantly being buried underground and unearthed by love, over and over, which, while romantic in a way, is also incredibly sad. but i think it's interesting how his latest album (literally called 'unreal unearth') takes this idea and makes it its central theme. that's what this album is, one man's descent into the underworld. except, crucially, he makes it to the other side, and ends the album saying the darkness will come again, but this time he is "never going back [to hell] again." it feels like such a full-circle moment considering the rest of his discography and i'm so very excited to see what comes after this

#idk he might go back to being buried and unalive but maybe this is really the end of that... #when he was singing his most popular non album songs during the concert yesterday i was like huh he really does #sing about death a lot. interesting #hozier #it was great btw! he sang abstract and francesca AND jackie and wilson and cherry wine and movement #so all my favourites basically #and hearing take me to church live was actually such a slay which i was not expecting #and he talked abt gaza which i was so happy abt and was very grateful towards his band and crew #just a great night all around #jasmine has thoughts #i knew it was a lot bc that's kind of his reputation (boo) but i didnt realise how much it actually is

big fan of maisie peter’s writer’s motif on the good witch. she’s a witch, she does tarot, she’s also a songwriter, all seemingly in order to write her own destiny. the most obvious examples of this are: [you had the speaking part, but i guess i was the playwright] [lost my page when you kissed me, now i remember the whole book] [i can write you out the way i wrote you in] [a new home, a swan dive, a blank page, a rewrite], and other more subtle references to writing. but in the end, one of the last lines of the album is [i tried to rewrite it but i can’t, it’s the history of man]. no matter how hard she tries, she doesn’t actually have that much control (maybe that’s why she’s the good witch bc they don’t practice dark magic). however! while she can’t actually change destiny, she can write and create ‘a universe that you can live in’. it’s her song and her stage and her coming of age, no matter how powerless she is in her real life. she actually already alludes to this in you signed up for this with‘ it’s my narration’. i think it’s really interesting and really highlights the power of words and creation and linking this ‘power’ to witchcraft is really clever imo

ocean vuong really put the lines 'dont worry. your father is only your father until one of you forgets' and 'the most beautiful part of your body is wherever your mother's shadow falls' and 'dont be afraid, the gunfire is only the sound of people trying to live a little longer / and failing' and 'the most beautiful part of your body is where it's headed. & remember, loneliness is still time spent / with the world' and 'your dead friends pass through you like wind / through a wind chime' all in ONE POEM and expected me to move on as if i ever stood a chance

#it's so [screams] #ocean vuong #jasmine has thoughts #havent had an ocean vuong breakdown on here in a while ive missed it #i think of this poem like every day idk

can't get over mitski calling her album 'the land is inhospitable' but then making it all about love and holiness in everything like don't make me cry right now. that's what life is, things can be so bad but then there is also so much colour all around
