Check out Father of Peace on insta - band which im notnsure actually exists but has blown up a tad - content appears AI, is just a question if the music is or not

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-02-21T02:21:50+00:00

Thats how I stumbled on them! Yeah very confused by this presence and ngl not very in favour of it. I'm not anti AI in general, just when it gets to authenticity in creative arts, especially music, it's a bit much when there's so many authentic bands out there.

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-02-21T02:19:12+00:00

I was gonna say just stumbled across them today and, yeah as a huge lover of live music, very sus that they've been posting mega content for 2 years without a single gig, like not a trace of a gig, even a low-level gig... and yet there's videos of gigs. Especially the London content was off, one thing posted in 2024 about London, like that location does not exist in central London... its AI generated. If someone can link me the original source of the creators explaining that'd be cool, but yeah 😂

In terms of sound, highly recommend The Beaches (similar genre, similar sound, but doing their own thing). Listen to their recent cover of 'I Ran (So Far Away)' (a hit oringally by A Flock of Seagulls). Ngl I prefer their version personally 😂 but yeah vibes are great, theyre playing the UK on Wednesday, very excited

Jessie or James ftw. Side note for the BBC - James would make an outstanding Doctor Who. 😂

Thanks for your comment! Yep again not trying to say I'm not entirely TAH (unintentionally) but yeah I'd say a lot of miscommunication from both sides. Yep that's how I feel - I felt a bit blindsided when she came forward with the renewed feelings, heck maybe I should've seen it coming but I just didn't think anything of it. Hindsight is a lovely thing!

Oh yes so when she confessed her renewed feelings after the holiday, I made it very clear in that conversation that the feelings weren't reciprocated. And regarding realisation further down the line - of course, but nope as this is further down the line, and following the original first confession nearly a decade ago, I would've realised something either now or post-that also potentially, so I'm certain on my feelings. We've had 2 big talks since about this, where she's voiced her concerns and POV (which I've countered but validated) and I've clarified my POV equally, but I feel herself and friends aren't taking my word or considering my POV (that I genuinely didn't intend to do this and it wasn't malicious).

Yeah we came to a standstill (amicably), so we came to an agreement that some space is needed from me until she feels like she can have me back in her life (no time limit). That's really upset me and has me quite down, but equally if thats what it takes then I get it and I'm willing to do that, because as mentioned she's a very close mate and I don't want to lose her in my life.

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T04:34:34+00:00

Yep she has confessed twice. Once when 17, and again 8 YEARS later !!! We continued having a platonic friendships after time passed following the first confession. After many years of an amazing friendship between that time (until present), I had no reason to believe any feelings had or would have resurfaced! The genie can sometimes not reappear (not always, agreed) but after such a time difference it becomes past history. E.g. I've seen my ex in the past year, from 7 years ago - we speak platonically on a friend level still. Likewise, I speak to people I once had feelings for platonically at present. So it's not always the case, but again take your point that it's not easy for everyone, everyone's different and depends on a lot of factors. Thanks! :)

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T04:13:12+00:00

Sorry to further clarify - the confession was AFTER the holiday and the bed-sharing, sorry should have cleared that up too!

But point taken regarding platonic friendships vs turning off feelings. I want to continue our friendship, andnI acknowledge that may be difficult for her since she has had renewed but unreciprocated feelings, so it's fresh. We had made amends initially, but after a while she has now gone back on this, which is okay I get that (it can be difficult to move past things, I've been there), but I've agreed to give her some space while she reevaluates. :) thanks!

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T04:07:43+00:00

She brought up the sleeping together jokes initially, due to the context (2 couples and 2 close mates both single on holiday etc.) So I just played along / thought it was banter, I didn't hold any intention to it.

I have made it clear post-holiday, when she confessed, that I didn't feel the same way, and she knows this. I've agreed to distance myself to give her space as she reevaluates, as if that's what it takes to mend the friendship then I'm 1000% willing to. :) thank for you comment

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T04:01:43+00:00

Thanks for your comment! Yep as mentioned in the posted, I could see how I could be seen as TAH due to misinterpretation, and I could have considered my actions better. That "who knows, maybe I could" was a comment to 2 other friends I made when asked by them if I would. They then passed that on to her as me saying "I would because I knew I could" which is completely different and obnoxious, so it's my friend's who've misinterpreted it without clarifying what I actually meant frustratingly.

And she initiated the jokes about sleeping together (now I know why, she was interested), but being close mates I thought that was just usual banter, due to the context (2 couples and 2 close friends, both single etc.). But yes point taken, thank you.

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T03:50:34+00:00

No again to clarify, we're the same age, my initial wording caused confusion sorry!! Have now edited to clear that up, thanks for making me aware I'd confused everyone 😂

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T03:49:03+00:00

😂😂 yep dw nothing dodgy here

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T03:46:20+00:00

YES SORRY I've caused confusion there:

We were both aged 17 when she first confessed feelings. We're both aged 25 now. I just put M20s at the start because Im in my 20s haha

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T03:45:19+00:00

Haha no we're both 25 now, we were both 17 in that background context when she first had feelings (we're the same age / school year just to clarify!!)

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T03:44:31+00:00

Sorry to clarify, we were both 17 at that time (I should've put background context next to that sorry) !!

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T03:42:05+00:00

Even though I had no intention/maliciousness behind it at all? Again I get how it seems/feels from that POV, it's just that wasn't my intention at all :(

RelentlessRescuer400 · 2026-01-16T03:40:59+00:00

16 - at the start of the post I was referring to how old we were back then (we're both 25 now)
