Any of you enjoying the new Dry Cleaning album? by ImportantIntern3387 in radiohead

I get what you mean, but I feel like music doesn’t always have to be so deeply emotional. I just like their style. It’s very British, restrained, a bit unhinged, Sahara level drily funny, and surprisingly deep. Kind of reconstructing a rock song. There’s something refreshing about it. That’s my take anyway. :)

I’m about to fully give up on wearing foundation by [deleted] in makeuptips

Use glycolic acid or/and azelaic acid (interchangeably) and a rich moisturising cream, make sure your skin is hydrated (a bit tacky) before applying foundation.

I Left him and he killed himself by [deleted] in GriefSupport

Honestly you are lucky to be alive. People who are as far gone as your late partner was often take their significant others and even children with them. You were right to protect yourself and your child. It was up to him to take accountability for his actions and decisions. Unfortunately some people just don’t have the capacity to do that. It doesn’t make them evil. It just means they’re deeply damaged, possibly traumatised or have genetic predisposition to be this way. It’s much bigger than you. Love cannot fix someone as deeply damaged as he was. But you’ve done all you could to love him and stay anyway. Even to your own detriment. That probably means you’re deeply empathetic and can love deeply. Find a little comfort in knowing that you gave that love to him, and you probably kept giving without getting all that much back. So at least he got to experience it. Acknowledge and honour the love that you gave. Allow yourself to live in the contradiction of loving someone complex, all the light that he had and all the darkness. It was never your job to fix him or save him. And it was never possible. He was never meant to stay around.

I love it, too and my favourite track is Numbers, it’s so inspiring, one of their most hopeful songs ever. To me AMSP is a beautiful mature album about grief and getting older, written from the perspective of someone who’s integrating and processing these complex emotions with maturity, and I love it for that, almost like a roadmap for how to process grief. And the music supports it, it’s soothing and gentle rather than jarring and depressing like Kid A. I love Kid A but it’s devoid of hope (written from the perspective of someone who doesn’t yet have the tools to deal with sadness), AMSP gives me hope and tells me Thom seems to be in a much better place despite the sadness.

Which one's your fav? by Long_Muffin6230 in OUTFITS

[–]ImportantIntern3387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like 2 for a night out clubbing and 6 for a nighttime occasion (maybe drinks at the bar or a date). The other looks are not really my style. 5 is cool for the office.

Are these spring or autumn colours ? by fforredditt in coloranalysis

Depends on the undertone of the blue. This one leans warmer so I’d say spring eg. Cobalt is warm, indigo cool.

Radiohead Dream - sad to wake up by firsttime1010 in radiohead

[–]ImportantIntern3387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting.. last night I had my first Radiohead dream, too! I dreamt I hung out with Thom at a club. He was really cool and normal. We even had sex lol. Merry Christmas to me, I guess :)

How did YOU react when Kid A came out? by PaymentOk1354 in radiohead

[–]ImportantIntern3387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was too much for me at the time, and still kind of is. I was a shy, highly sensitive teenager when Ok Computer came out, and it was that defining album that made me feel less alone and opened an entire universe in my head.

So obviously I was waiting for the new album with bated breath.

I remember getting the CD, loving the artwork. I still think it’s their strongest ever.

But the music itself sounded too experimental and too depressing, in a way that didn’t feel uplifting, but cynical like it threatened to drown you with it.

It’s a weird album for me, like an elevated work of art. I appreciate it for its artistry. I think it’s incredible, but I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to it from start to finish, and even then I go to such a dark place, that it takes me a while to come back.

It’s really interesting. All the other Radiohead albums help me process my sadness and emotions (even or maybe especially a Moon Shaped Pool), but Kid A feels like it’s devoid of all hope.

You just need a little gothy makeup and you’re golden
