well of stuff

what even is this poem

earth.

it's one of those times and it's night and i should be sleeping.

i just rediscovered this old question of mine and it really hit me.

i think “don’t swallow the cap” is a good song, that’s for sure. and i’ve done some pretty deep research on its lyrics, too. i just don’t remember listening to it that much?? anyway, this song is totally worth a listen (or two or three or dozens). once more: thanks the national.

thanks sufjan stevens.

the garden is one of the discoveries i made this year. and what a band they are. i couldn’t have believed i’d actually end up liking their punk-ish, partly cacophonic music. i listened to this band a lot during summer and really got into it, watching and reading every interview with the band’s members, twins fletcher and wyatt shears. “all smiles over here :)” is the first song i heard. i was drawn to it by the funny song title (like in baio’s case…). soon i listened to the whole album, interestingly named “haha”. i was hooked. now summer’s far gone and i don’t really follow the garden that closely, but i believe the band really made an impact so big that i’ll keep coming back every now and then. thanks the garden. :)

"say what you love, it's alright don't be afraid to find the light embrace the day, like night -- and you have the name of someone i love" this has so many super catchy parts and to be honest that is the main reason i've listened to this so much. i've listened it while studying, while cooking, on the bus... a lot. and this song is my ultimate autumn 2017 song. one time i was cleaning the kitchen and - surprise - singing to this song out loud. i thought i was alone but suddenly my flatmate appeared and that was somewhat embarrassing. (i hadn't met them before.) good memories. thanks foster the people.

but is there any to make you un-think?

- wyatt shears (musician etc) - fletcher shears (musician etc) - bill wurtz (musician, video maker etc) - exurb1a (youtuber, writer etc) - david nicholls (author) - meredith park (illustrator) - people behind some awesome graffitis i saw in norway - eero saarinen (architect) - francesco borromini (architect) - me (still in progress)

"maybe i listen more than you think" ah, it is time for this band and another mysterious song again! i was excited when i got a notification that the national's new album is out. this song is the one that i've listened to the most out of that record. the lyrics aren't too easily interpreted, but wild guesses can be taken. (*bill wurtz voice*: societyyyyyy...) thanks the national. again.

SO MUCH DANCING! oh yes i’m not too good of a dancer but this one just hits something in me. it’s so uplifting. not too bad lyrics-wise, either. but jamming and dancing are the things i associate with this song. and summer. thanks milky chance. ps. i remember one time i was randomly walking in a clothing store and this came on and i started smiling like an idiot. it was also summer. it was good. pps. i don’t necessarily think smiling is an idiotic thing to do.

documenting my journey helps me to give life a meaning.

"think about something so much you should know me better than that start to slide out of touch you should know me better than that" another one from the national. and i also don't quite know what this song is about, but i suggest it tells a story about a relationship where the two people feel misunderstood. but who knows, that's one part of the beauty of (song) writing: there can sometimes be a million ways to interpret things. anyway, i think the reason i listened to this particular song so much is simply the way it sounds. i think this song is just so easy to listen to, to me it "sounds balanced". (oh boy i handle proper music vocalbulary so damn well.) i really do like this song. thanks the national, again.
