singedsunI know it's been a little while. The last few weeks have been... a lot. I might go back and catch up on what's been happening in a different post, but I don't know. (I'm going through another phase of not really wanted to be perceived or social right now. Which is actually hilarious considering that one of the things I did recently was get boudoir photos done. 🤷♀️)
Anyway, let me share a trifecta of lovely songs that are all ex-vangelical and emotionally charged. In the wake of the last week or so, it's really I wanted to listen to. You know, something that's got those almost spiteful, I'm still here kind of vibes. So here's those.
This song, "Holy Water" by Noah Davis doesn't have an accompanying video yet, just this static image. But listen, this song has ripped out my heart and stomped on it many many many times over this week. I am not a gay man, but the way he addresses the trauma of the church on people who are different... he really gets it. I have more than once belted this in my car and then cried.
Maddie Zahm writes lyrics that feels like she's pulled directly from my head. Her song "Fat Funny Friend" was like a punch in the gut. And this one, "You Might Not Like Her" is no different. It's about turning away from religion, realizing your sexuality, coming to terms with anxiety... so many things are packed into this, and it's just really beautiful how she brings it together. Also this video that addresses the conceit of the song, that she's addressing these things to her younger self. OMG it's just really lovely.
MOTHICA has a whole new album out this week, and this song "NOCTURNAL" has been playing repeatedly for me, one because the video visuals are outstanding, but also because this one has a similar vibe but takes me out of the singer-songwriter pop of the other two songs and closer to this pop-metal sound Mothica has. Definite CW for lyrics of self-harm, and medical imagery.
Some honorable mentions:
New original song from Halocene - "Repent", Maddie wrote this for her mom and there's some info in the description for it to know more, but definite CWs for SA and domestic violence.
FLETCHER - "Her Body is Bible"
emlyn - "you make a woman wanna..." if you're feeling some kind of feminine rage right now you might get a little catharsis out of this one.
Same goes for this new Violet Orlandi cover of "I Will Survive" it's a metal cover, CW for fake blood - Violet's mix of classics with metal and horror is just really *chef's kiss*
That's it from me this week. If you've got music you've been listening to, please send it my way, especially if it fits these vibes.
