It's been four months, let me just geek out about music right quick
I got dumped and used it as an excuse to hate everything--not that I usually need much of one, really--anyway, I got to listen to Say Anything again without feeling sort of awkward about how pointlessly angry it was, so that was nice. And they're coming here in three weeks! So that should be fun.
I have another blog--story of my life is, more or less, having way too many blogs at one time--about, um, moving into my first apartment, and growing up, and stuff like that, which, do we really need another blog in which a college student talks about being a college student and why it is occasionally tricksy and difficult? We do not. But oh well. It's also about managing my anxiety because of reasons, la.
So--geeking out about music! Two CDs I've been really appreciating lately are Florence and the Machine's new Ceremonials, which came out I guess two weeks ago, and The Family Jewels by Marina and the Diamonds, which is quite a bit older. Ceremonials is another album full of songs that you maybe should not listen to right after you've been dumped--"No Light, No Light" is stuck in my head all the time, but that's as much because it's an incredible song as because the lyrics are sad ("you want a revelation, you want to get right, but that's a conversation I just can't have tonight" in the chorus, "and I'd do anything to make you stay, no light, no light, you can't choose what fades and what stays away" in...a part that is not the chorus but repeats a lot?).
The two albums are really similar in that they're both kind of repeat-heavy, um, I do not talk about music very often (because I get way too excited and then cannot shut up), it is not that the songs sound similar but that the songs are largely made up of pieces of melody and lyrics that repeat? But it works because they're both incredible singing, and it just--god, I love Florence Welch and Marina Diamandis so much, so very very much.
I hope you're all doing well, people who follow me. I will try to do less creepy lurking and more actually interacting with other people, because that is what you do when you want to have friends! The end.
