Hilary ending her first album in a decade with a gorgeous song about the passage of time oh I’m fucking emotional 😭😭😭🥹
"I remember it all
And I remember nothing
How did we get here?
Was it luck or something?"
#luckorsomething
to think this was mainstream pop 30 years ago, now we have taylor swift watering down artistry and doing tiktok dances in her music videos with the same ass boring tune and inconsequential lyrics
Nick Cave has compared his experience at one of Radiohead's recent shows to a "spiritual activity."
"I was sitting among twenty thousand people. Bizarrely, it was the first time I had ever been in the audience at such a large show, and I was stunned by the depth of love in the room -- people dancing, screaming, crying, hugging each other, throwing themselves around. I was struck by the realization of just how powerful live music is -- that a group of individuals can come together and concoct a sound unique to them, and that people can connect with that distinctive vision as if it were their own experience. I could feel its moral quality -- how this singular force has the capacity to repair the world with its goodness.
"I engage in various spiritual activities -- I swim in a lake, go to church, walk in nature, meditate -- but none offer the transcendent opportunity of a live concert. It is a form of human activity that radiates goodness, working its way through the crowd and into the world as a reparative, cosmic force, improving matters, keeping the devil at bay. I believe Radiohead’s audience was responding not only to the music, which was astonishing, but also to the courage of the performers -- the sheer nerve to stand before a crowd and offer up their souls. Like everyone else there, I was deeply moved and humbled."

She’s done it AGAIN!
Kylie Minogue scores her 11th #1 album in the UK, as ‘Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped)’ goes #1 this week.
Kylie has the 3rd-most #1 albums in the UK behind Taylor Swift (14) and Madonna (12).
mind you she did this at 37yo and had to be carried off stage after bc she had cancer. exactly what she meant when she said being a showgirl is much more than feathers and dazzle.
We aren’t here to suffer.
Our pain doesn’t define us.
And we can always choose Love for ourselves — a different future than we had previously imagined — at any moment in time.
🤍
