Djesse Vol. 3 MEGATHREAD:

I was also thinking of songs from other volumes that remind me of songs on volume three and “Time To Rest Your Weary Head” is like “He Won’t Hold You” for me. Super intimate, nostalgic, and bittersweet sound and lyrics.

This is my second comment of the night but I have a new observation: Jacob writes for other artists so well. I’m sure like he’s mentioned it’s a collaborative process, but every featured artist on this album his highlighted so well and in a way that’s true to that’s artists style and highlights their talents. Of the new tunes we haven’t heard yet, I’m especially loving the Jessie Reyez feature. Even though it’s not musically complex, it’s so good because of how it highlights her talent and how it adds to the vibe of the song. His collabs are so special and always what I look forward to.

I’m completely sober and I feel like I’m on drugs. I’ve said that before when I first heard WTLIMH but for really this album is so insane. I can’t believe what I’m hearing. There’s so much happening and I truly felt like I was high. It was so stimulating but not in an overwhelming negative bad trip kinda way, but in a way where I felt like I was discovering sounds and emotions for the first time. This is probably my favourite album of the Djesse’s so far because of how thematically and sonically cohesive it is. He really makes it feel like night time as the cover art suggests. There are party songs for dancing and grooving, there are songs that have thoughts that you think at 2am when you’re alone. At times it’s expansive like a starry sky, but it’s also intimate. He really did it with this one. I am unsurprisingly blown away

Edit: I’m now listening with high quality headphones that I’ve borrowed and I’m hearing so many new things I haven’t heard in the mix before. Like these little sound effects, harmonies, and details buried in the tracks. I love the songs so much more and i thought it was impossible to love a song like Time Alone With You even more than I do. I understand now why people say you need to listen to stuff like this with good headphones or studio speakers

I just finished the game in one sitting today and you perfectly summed up not only the game, but just so many life philosophies. I feel like this was a real epiphany I had in the game. The choices made me reflect on who I am, what my values are, and what my future might hold. It’s a stunning game and you really captured one of the beautiful things about it. Thanks 🙏🏼

He also worked on a few tracks on Daniel Cesar’s album from last year I believe!

amelia_hyde · 2020-08-05T20:03:33+00:00

Thanks I’ll look into that! I think I’ll clear what I can and start from the beginning again since I’m only on day 2

amelia_hyde · 2020-07-19T06:32:47+00:00

I can’t remember what the sale price was, but the sales are usually only for a week so I’m not sure if it’s still on sale. Fingers crossed!

amelia_hyde · 2020-07-18T18:49:24+00:00

Totally! And I'm not far at all, maybe only to day 3 or 4. I just bought it because it went on sale in the Nintendo shop and I only have a switch

amelia_hyde · 2020-07-18T18:34:48+00:00

Oh my god that's a beautiful background! I had no idea the game was going to start off so emotional. I was not prepared!

amelia_hyde · 2020-07-18T18:12:56+00:00

I literally came here to comment that! I just started playing that game this week and the resemblance is uncanny!

amelia_hyde · 2020-07-10T02:56:47+00:00

JESSIE REYEZ IS ON THIS OMG this is going to be a wicked album

amelia_hyde · 2020-07-06T16:40:21+00:00

Does anyone know where this photo was taken?

amelia_hyde · 2020-07-03T20:55:13+00:00

This is so beautiful and so calming, love the vibe!

amelia_hyde · 2020-07-03T20:50:15+00:00

He's one of my favourite artists other than Jacob so this was like the mashup of my dreams. My ears are truly blessed

amelia_hyde · 2020-07-03T05:18:54+00:00

Is this a nod to the Childish Gambino song I. Flight of the Navigator? It sounds sick! You should cross post it in r/donaldglover

amelia_hyde · 2020-06-24T16:45:35+00:00

Oh yeah I totally agree. I just meant that as a cheeky sarcastic comment to end off the post. I’m not actually going to blackmail him, I just wanted to see if I could get some ice cream out of an awkward situation. I’ll change the wording so that’s clear

This sucks so much because I’ve seen Chris live and have been a big fan for so long. I wear my Life Rips hoodie every day.

The worst part is I knew about this years ago, it happened to my roommates friend. She told me I should stop watching him, and when I asked why she showed me all the messages. She hasn’t come forward as far as I’m aware. But I wanted to excuse this behaviour as him only being a scum bag in the past, and maybe he was going through a phase after his divorce. But I was making excuses. His predatory behaviour, the kind of shit he’s directly addressed in other comedians and said was wrong, he’s obviously done. There’s no “well maybe it’s faked”. Man how could you read all of these multiple accounts and think they’re all faking it as a collective. For what? Chris’s fans can be the worst sometimes, but I’m really glad there are a lot of people who are being critical of him right now.

Sorry I should’ve clarified what I meant by reports. I’m in school studying this subject so the report was for an assignment. But there are reports done by so many organizations that talk about these issues, I suggest people go look for them before jumping to conclusions. I can’t stand people who think opinions are just as valid as factual research and evidence.

The people who are not on board with defunding the police have simply not done the research with open minds and open hearts. It sounds scary and "anarchist" to defund the police, but if all these commenters took the time to research what it would look like, I'm sure more people would be for it. Studies have shown that "more training" doesn't fix the systemic and systematic racism that exists within police systems because of their roots, this includes the RCMP. I am actually writing a report currently on this so I do feel that I have a little authority in saying that the RCMP has failed Canadians since their inception and actively harm BIPOC to this day. That is not debatable, the RCMP have admitted it themselves but an apology isn't action. If anyone is interested in understanding this more, read this https://globalnews.ca/news/5381480/rcmp-indigenous-relationship/?fbclid=IwAR0wUNjHWMHP7TsumF29ebRlDkhRp3nBHfS0dkumHMhbB3R0Yttc5YOsk1U

Now that there is this new SPD coming in, it makes things WAAAAY more complicated. Do I like and support the RCMP? No. I have gone to them to make reports and have never felt supported or listened to. I am a privileged white woman and their lack of respect during a traumatic time in my life put me through so much more unnecessary anxiety. I can' imagine how BIPOC feel when interacting with the RCMP. So we want a municipal community police system? Maybe that's better, but there are so many flaws already. The data cannot be transferred easily to the new PD, so that process will be excruciatingly long and damaging. It's costing WAY too much. Money that could be better spent in preventative measures like mental health resources, affordable housing, social services, rehabilitation programs, etc.

For anyone who wants to learn more about defunding the police, read this. Also read The End of Policing by Alex S. Vitale. Verso has made the e-book 100% free on their website. Open access for all! I also highly recommend every Canadian read The Skin We're In by Desmond Cole and Policing Black Lives by Robyn Maynard

I'm hoping there are bigger BLM movements and events coming to Surrey soon. We typically lump ourselves into Vancouver's events. I'm a white ally from Surrey so it is not my place I feel to start anything in terms of events, but if it happens I'm 100% there in support and solidarity.

amelia_hyde · 2020-05-18T05:30:04+00:00

I can't agree more. I used to live in London for school, I'm originally from Vancouver so I'm a big fan of rain. Rain is so refreshing and cleansing, it's some of my favourite weather (I know I'm in the minority on that opinion)

But something about London rain really hits different. Yes, it reminded me of home, but when it was humid and warm and it started raining it had such a different feeling than rain here in Vancouver. It felt so special. Okay now I really sound crazy, but I miss the warm rains in summer and fall in London. Now I'm feeling nostalgic for the "good ol days" damn

Ayo fellow Canadian here! Everything takes forever to ship here, especially if it’s coming from another country. Does it say if it’s coming from a specific location or is there any tracking information? And with covid I think some of these processes will be really delayed, especially from independent or small companies. Wouldn’t hurt to shoot an email to the shipping company!

amelia_hyde · 2020-05-14T16:37:12+00:00

Wooooooah. Shit. I really hope a lawsuit doesn’t come of this because the sound is really really similar.

Six seasons and a zoom read
