"You are so disarming with your honest smile…I just saw my whole life flash before your eyes. And I don't wanna charm anyone this time." - Encapsulates the apprehension of mythologizing oneself through romance, of casting futures in relationships. Feeling tender but afraid to fall all over again. This year was cynical and weary but turned the cusp from cautious to hopeful... Holding the truth that love is not a performance, but an offering.

about someone comparing themself to orpheus & eurydice and sweet talking to charm; in Hozier’s own words: “There’s all these lofty notions of … true love, and lofty tales and kind of romantic language is used in the verses. And the chorus just admits to, like, “I’m only using this language to distract from the fact that I’m trying to seduce you here, for fear that you find out how I’m imagining you.””

for me it's about sense of vulnerability and loss. like you're just trying to find connection to other people, to build a relationship and sometimes this relationship ends bad, so you have to deal with this "betrayal", fight your own insecurities and find some strength to continue searching for your love. i listen to this album every time I'm feeling blue and it helps me so much, the lyrics are so tender, music is very soft and the voice of sam smith is very pleasant

"I like you," he told me on a starry night in Mexico. "And I think we'd be great together. Until we go home." I went back to my hotel room, too overwhelmed by the idea that a man would be interested in me, even if just for two weeks. I took my phone out on the balcony and listened to Affair with the Moon by Lidia Solomon on repeat. The whole thing between him and me ended in disaster, but for a brief moment, anything seemed possible, like the beginning of a fairytale. Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed at night, by big thoughts and bigger feelings, I open my window and listen to Affair with the Moon. And for a brief, melancholic moment, anything will seem possible again.

one of my friends gave me one of these bad boys for my birthday and it is perhaps one of the best gifts I’ve received. they knew my struggle with wanting to listen to music on my morning walks while resisting the urge to use my phone first thing. they burned a few of my playlists and theirs onto tapes and it feels so much more nostalgic, personal, and conversational. listening to a tape all the way through without skipping is a lost treasure trove for mindfulness imo. pretty affordable and easy to rig burning cassettes or buying from the thrift :)
