I’d definitely do THC for this one, but if you wanted to get juicy with it you could dig into how THC is focused outwards and GSP is focused in. THC is looking at the world and seeing all the fucked up bits and all the good stuff with it, and GSP is expanding that mindset and observation to include the writer’s internal experience.

This is kinda funny.

Back in like 2018 maybe, someone wrote a story I read that featured the lyrics of Overwhelming. I decided to listen to the song to get the full context, and genuinely hated it. Did not like it at all, couldn’t understand why anyone would listen to it.

It then got stuck in my head over the next few days, and I eventually came back to it trying to figure out what was even good or interesting about it, and then it started to grow on me. Listened to the whole album, hated a lot of it at first, eventually loved most of it, and I’ve kinda been in ever since.

I’ve really enjoyed Maisie Peters’ “The Good Witch” lately! It’s a classic singer-songwriter breakup album, and hits all the highs and lows beautifully.

Additionally, it’s not quite a traditional “album” but the live recording of the Hadestown musical from London’s West End is incredible if you’ve heard the OBC version. Donal Finn’s Orpheus is absolutely heart wrenching, easily my favorite Orpheus.
