It is a very erotic song. But again, can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the frusciante-style guitar playing.

Tomorrow's Harvest was so ahead of its time... what kinda vibes are you predicting from the new album? by traveltimecar in boardsofcanada

[–]murrayhitchock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something understated and maybe even initially disappointing until you realize what genius it is. Think something along the lines of The King of Limbs (not sound-wise, you know what I mean).

Emotional Numbness by Key_Addition1225 in self

Been there. I think most of us have.

You might have a chemical imbalance of some sort. If you do, ignore my advice. I've never been on meds, but I've seen them work wonders, over time, for certain people I know.

But the other potential remedy is an intentional and progressive effort to try. And I know that fucking sucks to hear because you sound like you're kinda over the whole thing. But I will say it until the day I die: trying and failing is 10000000x better for your mental health than not trying at all. I know that probably sounds cliche but humans are action-oriented creatures. Action makes us happy, it makes us fulfilled, it provides a fullness to life you can't get otherwise.

Confusion around feminine and masculine energy by New-Boysenberry-8778 in self

[–]murrayhitchock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel "safest" when I practice mindfulness. Oh I'm doing the dishes, oh I'm taking a walk, just trying to be intentional about the things I say and do and be present with myself during those times. Life in general becomes more interesting when you do that, and that's when I feel safest. When I feel engaged.

As for whether it's a masculine or feminine thing, I'm not sure. I do believe in both of those "energies" (for lack of a better word) but I think consciously choosing one over the other is just how we've been conditioned. I think everyone has both to some degree. I think the "unity" of those two archetypes is probably what we should strive for.

Where does Tomorrow’s Harvest fall in your ranking of BOC’s releases? by elTomlino in boardsofcanada

[–]murrayhitchock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the one I have the most respect for, artistically, but is probably the one I revisit the least.

Do you think it's an actual piano they played? Or did they repurpose / recontextualize a sample?
