have soooo many incredible songs and some of my favourites are multi-part :)))
my favourite is probably the crane wife 1 & 2, but california one/youth and beauty brigade is also spectacular, and they of course outdid themselves with the three section masterpiece that is the island: come and see/the landlord’s daughter/you’ll not feel the drowning

fantastic song, but i'd recommend listening to the whole album in one sitting since the songs are designed to blend into each other (it's very fun) and as the final song on the album, it has a bunch of callbacks and motifs from not only to the other songs in the album but previous albums! really good song to listen to in the dark, the album (phantoms) is only ~40 minutes so it's not too heavy of a listen so would highly recommend!! my favourite songs on it are the killing kind and echoes of you but marianas trench is one of those bands where they have so many consistent bangers so they're all a delight :3

the way this song slowly builds and then hits you over and over again like a wave with its bridge is utterly phenomenal. one of the few songs with a runtime over 5 minutes that really earns it
this song feels like running into an old friend while walking through a secluded forest in the fall and then catching up over a cup of black coffee

their songs "waltz about whiskey," "picking up pieces," "wildfire," and "daylight" ARE SO GOOD

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
