been listening to mj lendermen’s “grief” a lot lately (im good not sad just find it beautiful) and it remidned me of my love for the lonely saxophone. it really just elevates a song to transcendent levels and makes you feel like you’re flying, going straight to heaven.
some other examples are bon iver’s sh’diah and m83‘s midnight city. these two are especially elevated in their climaxes.

a forever favorite. i almost cried in the shower listening to it the other day, and i would most certainly sob if i experienced the magic of it in concert. when the sweet, synthy sounds of “Ever New” start the album, it makes you wanna jump in a cold lake and become new again… this album could be one of the reasons why i end up in divinity school one day to study the religious, almost god-like properties of music (and i’m not even really religious!)

moody, haunting, somber, ethereal. good for zoning out into sadness, like a soundtrack that doesn’t enunciate your feelings, only supports them.

i know it's august, but it's so easy for me to slip into a gloomy fall mood any time of year and as such, i've had this song on repeat.
i'm a big sucker for strong lyricism and this song is no exception. the fact that she takes you on this journey about the death of a relationship she's in by literally opening the song with "Pull the plug in September, I don't wanna die in June" is so poignant yet beautiful.
ALSO, the gunshot right after she says "I'll hang on 'til the chaos is through" is perfectly incorporated and really the cherry on top given the subject matter of the song.
if you're looking to feel the sonic embodiment of a lonesome autumn in the form of a song, give this track a listen.

guys this is happening now and lasts about a week. it’s so stunning and beautiful. meadows of little purple flowers no taller than grass. little bees coming out of their slumber to get that nectar. also saffron comes from a crocus! crazy! life is so beautiful.
