this lyric that's been in my head since yesterday, you know who it is

Except all the radios agree with all the TVs And the magazines agree with all the radios And I keep hearing that same damn song everywhere I go Maybe I should put a bucket over my head And a marshmallow in each ear And stumble around for another dumb-numb week For another hum drum hit song to appear

'WHen my mind is uncertain my body decides'

Idk why but this line from In The Morning by Built to Spill just repeats over and over in my head... maybe it's cuz I used to listen to the Front Bottoms song where they ape that line in high school. Something about the way Doug Martsch says it just scratches my brain ykwim ..

MISUNDERSTANDING SONG LYRICS IN PROFOUND WAYS THAT COMPLETELY CHANGE THE THEME OF THE SONG

example // in sufjan stevens’ it’s your own body and mind off of a beginners mind,(the formatting choices here are completely arbitrary) he angelically sings: she’s gotta have it she’s gotta dream (she’s got a dream) and she'll make it a habit of doing her own thing as so graciously told to me by genius, (this link does not redirect to anything I simply like to imagine it looks fitting) this song is based off of spike lee’s she’s gotta have it, and is an ode to self actualization, autonomy, and love. HOWEVER, when I heard this song it became: she’s god of heaven she’s gotta dream (she’s got a dream) and she’ll make it of heaven as so woefully malformed by my brain, the song became a tale of a woman who is ”god of heaven.” I derived that sufjan had put a woman on the pedestal of all pedestals claiming her a god of heaven aka: God,(for those who practice)—(sidenote: what are you practicing)—(double sidenote: this is a joke) or even surpassing God. I figured that i was listening to a song about infatuation and rose-tinted perspective, much similar to his song impossible soul off of the age of adz (i could write pages upon pages about this 25 minute long masterpiece and the cover of the album talking to me while on mushrooms but alas…seek ye treasure (pirate reference)) in which he sings “woman tell me what you want“ and “you are the lover of my impossible soul.” so sue me for thinking lover boy stevens was back at it. i do think there is a beauty in misunderstanding lyrics that can show you what is at the forefront of your brain without you even realizing. when listening to the song i was thinking of my girlfriend, (god of heaven. obviously.) and my brain jumped to connect that dot. i find that this happens very often and it usually suggests something more interesting and provocative than a simple yanny and/or laurel mishap (green needle for my enthusiasts). if you have any similar experiences do feel free to share!

♻︎ CROW JOURNALIING ♻︎

or junk journaling, if you'd like to not perpetuate myths about crows liking to collect trinkets. i just think it sounds cuter weirdly, as someone who's a writer, i've never really been good at or liked journaling. every planner i've ever owned has remained empty. if i try to write something any time other than when the fancy strikes me, it just feels inauthentic, like i'm trying too hard. this has been the first time journaling actually felt like it had a purpose for me, and actually felt weirdly therapeutic basically, it's just anything i can recycle, i make into a page. i like a common theme, so places i've visited, media i like, similar aesthetics, emotions i'm feeling. and then we get the qr code page & i'm reminded that this is probably the quintessential depiction of what scoring 121 on the RAADS-R looks like eh, i'm having fun🤷‍♀️
