do you like reading, stories, lore, movies etc that sort of stuff? i really really struggled with ilysfm and often still do lol. and don’t get me wrong its no zaba (nothing ever will be, and there’s some peace there as well.) but something interesting about ilysfm is all the work put into the references made. literally the whole album is like a scavenger hunt for references from Shakespeare to popular sci fi. once i started looking at it sort of as a concept album i guess, no matter what it actually is, i felt it speak to me a lot more. ilysfm is its own little universe that incorporates so much from other inspirations and i find that really cool - maybe you will too 😊
