It is anxiety-season as my exhibition deadline is approaching and my project, as usual, has proven to be just a little bit too big and ambitious for me to carry out comfortably. So I play these songs to reminnd me that at the end of the day, this is what I want, and it will probably turn out alright again.
Fever Ray - Idk About You
Stress can be remade into party.
Belle & Sebastian - For the Price of a Cup of Tea
The teashops of Jiali are legion and very good for a comfort treat after a long day cutting bamboo. Give me a milk tea with ice cream, bubbles and some herbal jelly and I'll be happy.
Jess Sah Bi & Peter One - Apartheid
Just discovered that my favourite Ivorian country album is available on Spotify. Support Palestine.
The Impressions - People Get Ready
I don't need religion. I just need those harmonies at 2:20.
Kate Tempest - Hold Your Own
Oh Kate Tempest, you've only gone and made me tear up again!
Nothing you can buy will ever make you more whole
This whole thing thrives on us feeling always incomplete
And it is why we will search for happiness in whatever thing it is we crave in the moment
And it is why we can never really find it there
It is why you will sit there with the lover that you fought for
In the car you sweated years to buy
Wearing the ring you dreamed of all your life
And some part of you will still be unsure that this is what you really want
Stop craving
Hold your own
