about

I wrote this on 21 December 2019, worried about whether I'd be able to visit one of my friends again and about whether I'd be able to see another friend at all.

It really does seem like the world ended in 2012 in some sense. Back when I was a kid, I could see myself doing things and living in 2012, but never after that. That seemed to be the cutoff date. For whatever reason, for the longest time I lost the ability to see myself in the future. Only recently have I regained it, and it's exhilarating.

Still, it often feels like everything's changed. There's little continuity for me from my past to my present and future; it seems like a series of cut-up segments of tape with little relation glued end-to-end. What I've longed for, aside from human connection, has often been the ability to connect myself with my past and my future without losing the here-and-now.

lyrics

As this disease runs through my arteries,
I ache so much for my home away from home,
for that fateful place where there is no disgrace.
But for now I am and shall remain alone.

I am relaxing here, yet I am filled with fear
that I will never see his face again,
that I may never kiss her dainty lips.
My only friend here is the freezing rain.

All I want to do is make love
on the seventh anniversary of the end of the world.
All I need to do is make love
on the seventh anniversary of the end of the world.

And I contemplate this strange old date
which marked the turning of a strange new dawn.
The life I knew evaporated like dew.
All I'm certain of is that world is gone.

My love, it cries for something that ties
me back to the world that I left behind,
but as well someone anchored in the Sun
who is unafraid to take the rope and bind.

All The Pretty Little Horses

One of the albums that inspired me to want to make music. Lush, gorgeous folk intertwined with chilling drone that has helped me cope with some of the darkest periods of my life. Rose with Teeth

Simple Answers
by Charlie Looker

One of the most vital albums of recent memory: an in-depth and personal look at fascism incorporating orchestral and electronic arrangement. Almost horror-music. Rose with Teeth
