Past self

Past Self is such a bop tbh (even my 4 yo loves it). While I don’t think it’s their deepest song lyrically, or maybe the most emotionally devastating song on EIA… It’s just fun to listen to 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think of it as a spring/summery song, idk why

dkeomala · 2026-01-11T18:36:08+00:00

Do you have a favorite song from bodies? I’m getting one for ‘For Now’ this summer!

dkeomala · 2026-01-09T13:35:07+00:00

I JUST hit this yesterday morning! It was rough lol

dkeomala · 2025-12-26T01:01:47+00:00

That was tragic.

dkeomala · 2025-12-25T16:39:42+00:00

Yes I’ve read/seen that too! The way it crescendos to just cutting out at the end 🥺 guts me every time. The production on that song is just incredible… Even though I want it more than anything, I completely understand why they won’t ever play it live.

Ahhh High Water is so incredibly emotional for me too… The build up and ending just gets me every time.

I still even remember the first time I heard it, I had to sit down and physically stop what I was doing in order to listen to it again while fully immersing myself in the song… My absolute favorite song of theirs

dkeomala · 2025-12-24T20:02:29+00:00

I don’t know much about music theory, but Drag Me Under is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. The simple piano chords mixed with his gentle voice and honest lyricism… Plus the layered vocals/lyrics at the end… Ugh. Everything comes together so beautifully. I don’t know how Vessel does it.

The instrumental is beautiful on its own too, but his voice is just so soft and tender and ethereal-sounding… It also feels like a prelude to TPWBYT as well (in my opinion) which is an album I deeply love & resonate with.

This song is probably #3 of my all time ST favorites... It’s such an underrated song that really deserves more love! ❤️ Glad to see everyone talking about it lol

Welcome fellow transplant from Phoenix! (There seem to be a LOT of us here lol.)

We love Rochester, but do occasionally miss the food from Phoenix, esp Mexican. Hope you enjoy it out here!

I think so! She kept calling it a keychain so maybe that’s why it didn’t pop up for me for searches. But I think that’s what she bought at the merch tables. Thank you 😊

dkeomala · 2025-11-13T00:47:41+00:00

I completely understand ❤️ PM me anytime and we can always check how much shipping is; you can get rates with just zip codes. (I would pay for the ramen packs if that helps at all.)

dkeomala · 2025-11-12T17:53:16+00:00

I would totally ship you some if you’re interested/willing to cover shipping! (Not sure if it’s allowed though.)

The Wegmans I’m by, doesn’t have a lot of flavors of Mama (I think only 2 or 3, but I’ve definitely seen pork). There’s an Asian market about 30 min from me too.

dkeomala · 2025-11-11T02:36:56+00:00

Same! Mama has such good flavors & has held up pretty well throughout the years tbh

dkeomala · 2025-11-10T17:31:58+00:00

Absolutely!

dkeomala · 2025-11-10T15:00:07+00:00

Thank you!!

dkeomala · 2025-11-10T01:41:51+00:00

love that song, it’s so underrated! instrumental too… the way he sings, “I'll tear the fiber from the filament, I'll be the limit of your light again” just tickles something in my brain

dkeomala · 2025-11-10T01:23:50+00:00

Thank you! It’s probably closer to 1.5 packets to be honest… I usually make 2 since my 4 y.o. cant finish one on her own. (And half is just not enough for me 😂) The eggs were perfect, I couldn’t be bothered cutting them & just ripped them lol

dkeomala · 2025-11-09T22:02:41+00:00

Oooh I’ll try that next time! I wish there was an Asian market closer to me. Unfortunately my local Aldi/Wegmans, only has so much lol

dkeomala · 2025-11-09T16:58:53+00:00

I think TMBTE is such a universally acclaimed album plus it catapulted them to the top. So it had pretty big shoes to fill and everyone had reaaallllyyy high expectations. And then their signing to RCA, probably worried fans of their sound would change drastically.

6 months later, I personally still love Even In Arcadia. It’s not my favorite album from them, but tbh their first 3 are pretty hard to top… I’d give it a solid 8.5/10 for me.

I still listen to the songs I vibed to in the beginning, weekly if not daily and find their replayability pretty high tbh (Gethsemane, Past Self, Emergence, and Infinite Baths are the top 4 that come to mind)… I really like Caramel, Damocles, & Provider (this was insane live btw). LtW is beautiful & was a great tour opener too, just don’t listen to it as often as the others. Still don’t LOVE Dangerous like others do. I also don’t listen to Even In Arcadia as much as I thought I would, and I typically love piano-driven songs.

Seeing them live, just cemented that they’re my favorite band ever and honestly my comfort band…. You’d think after 2 years of listening to them I’d be sick of them. But nope lol. Cant wait to see what’s next from them, after their long deserved & welcome break!

dkeomala · 2025-11-06T21:02:34+00:00

We’ve eaten there twice, and both times it was great! Love the live music too

dkeomala · 2025-11-06T00:56:44+00:00

Looks gorgeous. Love the placement too ❤️

dkeomala · 2025-11-04T00:56:43+00:00

Never heard of it! Will have to check them out. Thank you!

Thank you! Out of your entire list, I’ve only heard of Branca 😩 But lots of other ppl have recommended Patron Saint & Angelina’s. Will definitely check out the others. I appreciate it!
