SONG OF THE DAY

SONG OF THE DAY

Day #7

I am being flattened by a cold, which means I'm feeling sappy, so today's pick is Flowers by Australian artist Jordan Rakei. Opening his 2024 album The Loop, Flowers is a track that shimmers and twists with love. The ballad shares a grand romance through its sweeping strings and stunning vocals. It's tooth-achingly sweet as Rakei states the song is “…an homage to the journey of my first love, the patience it requires, and the pivotal moment I met my wife,” (Clash, 2023). The song leads you in with a gentle beat, curves with guitar, and then unravels into the chorus with violin, cello, and vocals overflowing with adoration. It is a beautiful track.

“All my life I waited to fill my days with your hours

'Cause time in a world that's ours

Felt worth it to plant all the flowers”

“I’m totally normal about this ship”

Dear reader, they were, in fact, not totally normal about this ship

Mood.

Do you kids know how hard it is to hyper fixate on shit as a goddamn adult?? Sorry boss I know you need those files done but I’m too busy giggling like a goddamn school girl over a fictional man

I dunno how many times I can tell my parents I'm reading a book about superheroes.…

"you read a lot, right?"

"yes!"

"what are some books you've read recently?"

"uhh i don't remember"
