Hiiiiiiiii I'm Fresh!!

My song of the day: True Love Waits - Radiohead

True Love Waits - This song is about becoming one with your partner and feeling incomplete without them. One of the major repeated lines throughout the song is "Just don't leave, don't leave," highlighting the protagonist's desperation and willingness to do anything for their partner. It features piano instrumation that is just so soothing. This is a wild comparison, but honestly, every time I hear this song I think of the "Pikmin Bloom" (mobile game) main theme. This song is so sad, but the piano completely envelops me and wraps me in warmth. Every time I listen to song, I completely zone out from whatever I'm doing and just feel it.

My album of the week: MAGDALENE - FKA twigs

MAGDALENE - This album is so good. Like, so, SO, good. Production, lyrics, meaning... Holy... I can't explain my love for this album without some choice lyrics.

• "If I walk out the door, it starts our last goodbye
  If you don't pull me back, it wakes a thousand eyes"

A quote from twig's instagram about "thousand eyes": "the thousand eyes that i sing about on the first song of my album refers to the chorus of people who have an opinion on the choices made in ones life."

• "How come the more you have, the more that people want from you?
  The more you burn away, the more the people earn from you
  The more you pull away, the more that they depend on you"
• "I didn't know that you were lonely
  If you'd have just told me, I'd be home with you"
• "But I'm never gonna give up
  Though I'm probably gonna think about you all the time
  And for the lovers who found a mirrored heart
  They just remind me I'm without you"
• "It's all for the lovers tryna fuck away the pain"

This line is soooo cunty

• "Possessive is my daybed"

This line refers to how contant overthinking can take over your senses and can lock up your senses and movement, or as twigs says it, lock you to your daybed (couch). This analysation of this line (+ input from twigs herself) comes from Genius and puts it much better than I can:

"The lyric "possessive is my daybed", she says, is about when you’re lying on your sofa lost in thought, and you just can't move. 'Have you ever had that?' she asks. 'Everything in the room becomes really abstract. Like when you say a word over and over again and it starts to lose its meaning. Like that, but with your room or your house or just… everything. You just start to see things in a different order. Everything has a place and a harmony and all you can do is let it happen, let it wash over you.'

And of course, the most iconic line of the album (or maybe twigs' discography as a whole):

• "Didn't I do it for you?
  Why don’t I do it for you?
  Why won't you do it for me
  When all I do is for you?"

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS LINE. OH MY GOD. Like holy crap... I'm gonna have to have it as a song of the day or the length of this entry is gonna double. Good lord. Just this song in general, man... But holy crap, just this album.
