the Ambience of Yesteryear channel saved my life…“belle-époque paris through rain-spattered window (early 20th century), 4 hours” literally single-handedly got me through my last year of undergrad

listening to this makes me feel like I am floating
it fits any sort of weather, mood or place
it's like a background soundtrack for life

I'm completely obsessed with this video, especially the first song – it's untitled. It gives me the same calm vibe as when I used to watch Adventure Time late at night with my cousin, back when we were little. It feels like nostalgia — like this quiet longing to return to the simplicity of childhood. Kind of like during quarantine, which I’ve mostly erased from my memory, but the way I think about it now is softer, and filled with a strange tenderness.

Chopin is so sneaky. One second I’m just looking at a tree, the next I’m deep into an obscure memory.

this time last year i would listen to this song every day on the subway to my mind-numbingly boring barista job. i worked eight hour shifts alone, serving the occasional customer but mostly just sitting around eating expired baked goods and staring down at my ten-year-old docs spattered with matcha and espresso, the soles crusted with sidewalk salt. i listened to Phair singing about closing her eyes and her bank account and needing someone to do her thinking for her, and i fantasized about walking away from the shapeless, sleepy postgraduate life i’d sunk into.
taking off my apron, abandoning the city and everyone who knew me there, getting on a train or a plane or just walking until i was swallowed by the sunset…it all sounds so trite now, but at the time i carried that idea around like a lucky charm. something to hold onto, to help me feel real. i thought it was the most romantic thing a girl could do. go west, young woman.
