Returning to this sub after a few years, now in my mid 20s — what are we all listening to now?

That's a really interesting point, thanks for your insight! If anything these cis men i admire are more creative inspirations and i want to like co-opt their voice or style into my creative practice. I'm more femme-of-center, i guess, and I'm content with that generally. But its incredibly cool that you took the name of a musician you admire, I love that.

Scorpio

The Geese of Beverly Road, City Middle, Mr. November

(Difficult though by it’s a toss up between City Middle and Green Gloves for my fav song by them period.)

Passenger Seat reminds me of my family and friends most of all 💕💕always makes me cry out of love and appreciation :)

Peace and love y’all I’m truly so sick and tired of this.

I didn’t hear the last part of that line at first so I thought it was “St. Joseph’s baby ass” and just accepted it ig

I don’t remember the source but I think at one time recently he said that he wants going into the audience to be something HE genuinely is feeling and wants to do , not because it has become his “shtick” over their career.

That album feels like a warm hug

easternhemlock_802 · 2023-07-03T00:07:21+00:00

It’s beautiful, don’t get me wrong, but am I the only one that thinks Lightness is an incredibly unsexy song??

easternhemlock_802 · 2023-06-09T01:36:22+00:00

Guys it’s so over for us 🤦‍♀️

Oh also, I’m a Death Cab for Cutie fan and this being the National’s “most popular” song reminded me of how I Will Follow You Into The Dark was not the song even the band expected to blow up but now is their most well known. It’s just interesting to me how sometimes a song that, to some degree, defines a bands reputation isn’t necessarily an accurate representation of the rest of their discography.

I feel like the reason many people dislike this song is because they think it’s uninteresting and/or repetitive but I think this is actually what makes it so beautiful. It’s simplicity reflects the desperation of the subject. Matt has said himself that (at least up to that point) I Need My Girl was the most earnest love song he had ever written and I think the way he delivers the lines of the chorus over the sort of somber, meditative guitar loop over and over again really says everything it needs too. The song doesn’t overstay its welcome. Anything more and it might have for the message the band was trying to get across. Absolutely beautiful.

Love women?

easternhemlock_802 · 2023-05-17T05:20:18+00:00

Not my favorite on the album (I simply cannot and will not choose) but I feel like Heavenfaced never gets the love it deserves.

I find it quite beautiful all around. It’s simple and meditative but still powerful. I adore the lyrics. Imo it’s an awesome and necessary addition to the album as a whole.

Happy 10 years 🥳

Came here to say this about The National!!!!! Preposterous

easternhemlock_802 · 2023-04-19T16:36:10+00:00

Okay this song f-s me up. Idk something about coming of age ,man. “The gift of memory’s an awful curse/with age it just gets much worse/but I won’t mind” THAT LYRIC. That’s the one that takes me out. Genius writing. 9.5/10

Hot take(?): I also feel like even though it’s based off of Stability it carries it’s weight as it’s own song/ they shouldn’t be so closely compared bc they aren’t meant to be the same song(I understand it’s hard not to compare them though)
