47 minutes and 41 seconds of absolute beauty. this reverse-engineered concept album is a wonderful display of Lykke's unique artistry that is made even more striking through the short film that accompanies it. loss, isolation and heartbreak... this record is equal parts ethereal and visceral.
the album + short film companion literally premiered today nov 1st and it only has 5K views on youtube– i can only hope it gains more recognition. this album really stirred something inside me and the visuals only helped to amplify that.

From her 2nd EP ‘I Did’ !
The outro!!!! It’s currently starting to trend on some corners of social media but even upon first listen I was just stunnneddddd. It’s a reminiscent, longing feeling that is evoked from it. You feel like the reel of your life is being played in front of you. Yves is an all time artist to me and I’ve been following her since 2017, and her new solo endeavors have been amazing, I know that this is the year she skyrockets into fame. Love her!!!

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments section– major yuck 🤢

early 80s to early 2000s truck models are the perfect sizes imo. current trucks are transformer-sized behemoths that could easily crush normal vehicles into smithereens upon impact and i legit don’t know how those things are even street-legal. also, idk if it’s their design, reliability or the nostalgia factor per-se, but there’s a certain sazón those older trucks have that newer ones don’t.

with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and i’m not gonna pretend i’m above any of this because it’s so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst it’s a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. it’s a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity that’s independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they don’t hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldn’t or would‘ve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
