i, hayden of tumblr dot com, have decided to make a third bracket blog for funnies
we're pitting songs by british alt-rock/indie/whatever you want to call them band bastille against each other! how fun!
now it's your job to submit some songs to put in there! they have a fairly large discography, so that's why i'm not putting all of them on there haha that's too much work
some rules:
normal poll rules??? no spamming etc
to give you an idea, what i'd like is original songs or covers/remixes that bastille have done of other artists. any remixes of their songs by other people aren't allowed.
(for example, the greek tragedy bastille remix is allowed, but the pompeii audien remix is not)
however, covers they've done of their own songs (eg. the bunker sessions/one eye'd jacks sessions) are fine
other people's heartache is allowed also! from any part from 1-4 (bear in mind i haven't been able to listen to 1 or 2 yet)
also!!! collaborations are great! go ahead!
speaking of pompeii, pompeii and happier are blacklisted until further notice because i know they're going to sweep
submissions are here and probably open until may 1st :)

I think the thing about the way people conceptualize empathy is... when you're interacting with other people, they are going through things that, which you may empathize with, you won't always understand, partially because you're two different people, but also because not all situations are 1:1 copy-pastes that are easy to understand.
This isn't saying that empathy is useless, but that acknowledging when you relate personally to somebody and yet also recognizing that this is their struggle is important. When people pretended to empathize with me, it made me feel like I was being placated to. I felt like people were only trying to shut me up by saying that they, personally, "get it," when I knew they didn't. I just don't want people replicating that because they genuinely do want to help the people in their lives.
Listening to bastille bad blood bc my bf has the vinyl and god I’m so embarrassed that I was a Bastille Stan back in 2014 this shit fucking sucks. I had the lead singer on my desktop blog for ages!!
