Just how much I missed accidentally stumbling upon magnificent music! This time I was blessed twice, but we will get to the much-awaited, almost-believed-to-be-a-dropped-project-forever LOVE AMONGST RUIN's 2nd album (yes, it's true, it was released, this is not a dream!!!) some other time. I need time to really collect my thoughts track-by-track anyways, but spoiler alert! Paper tigers is one of the best tracks ever released this year (and no, I don't have to listen to all songs released this year to know that, it's just that good!), at least in my book it's highlighted place is guaranteed. Mr Hewitt slaying like there's no tomorrow again.

So, before I accidentally nuked about a year and a half worth of posts, I realized that at least my project of getting this site it's own, reliable music player and it's half-baked result have survived. So, yay!

I think I posted about a certain kind of feeling some tracks evoke within me, (albeit, that post is in Hungarian, no one reads this blog anyway ) and how much it means to me to collect such tracks.

Talking about tracks and collecting, my entire Library in Spotify just poofed like that. From one day to another. I decided I will just keep actually downloading music and storing it on my own hard-drive, because this kind of loss I won't tolerate again - I mean, wasn't the latest loss of posts on this site enough?! Therefore I am so done, thank you. Oh, and really. Because the site basically got a backroll, my update to the site's design is gone as well, so every time I use italics or bold text or underlines, it's the old messed up look I get. I simply lost patience for this, won't fix this same design for the third time. I plan to change the design soon anyways, although that's going to take some considerable amount of time as always. Back in the days it used to be so quick because I made so many new designs to often. Now I kinda have to re-learn everything every time I do it...

Back to topic, here lies "Celestial" by the wonderful Phildel. It has that kind of untouchable magic to it, that makes me absolutely addicted. It's beat is strong yet delicate, overpowering yet not forceful. It's my kind of beat. The melody is quiet yet it's not overshadowed by it's upfront beat sister. The harmony is perfect, coupled with the vocals elegant delicacy. The lyrics, to me, are not absolutely top-notch, but that means nothing. I, unfortunately, have this unshakable habit of comparing the music I like to poems I like when it comes to lyrics. In this century, poetry is... trash. One day! One day I'll find the perfect artist. And a second perfect artist. And thousands of them! I am trying to maintain a healthy amount of hopefulness here. Art can't be just... put into the corner, like that.

I get this really bleak yet intense mental image of a scenery mostly dominated by the colours grey and light blue, the ground is cracked, and there's an abandoned shed somewhere in an advanced state of decomposition. The sky is imposing and seems to have descended closer to the ground, how odd. Gloomy clouds chase each other above, the wind makes your face hurt from cold. Everything is dry and unsafe. Somewhere in the distance an old hag lurks, her hair like spider webs woven by the hands of time itself.

I'd love to hear other people's mental reactions to songs... I wish sharing those would be a thing. I mean if we have those lame, cringey "reaction" videos, why not something a bit more sophisticated. Something a tad more deeper than a three minute long video of fangirl and fanboy screams watching some half naked idol. Come on. It's not like I've got a problem with reaction videos, I just can't seem to really understand their purpose. To me your reaction is not news-worthy, I've got my own, after all. I know let's players get the most heat for having videos where they react to something that was made for them, therefore their own input is minimal, but.. oh gosh, let's just put an end to this rambling

Phildel - Celestial

Light from long-dead stars
Still journeys so far
Celestial are the hearts
Still love when love’s passed…

You are my rosary
You are my rosary

I would abandon the moon
Turning my back to the light
Till it’s just me and the dark
Before your heart
Here tonight
I would abandon the moon
Raise up the stars from their space
Till it’s just me and the dark
Before your heart
Here in this place
Then you would be all I see

Love is all I need
Your touch, your heart
Love is all I want
One light still on

You are my rosary
But you were not sent for me…

I would abandon the moon
Turning my back to the light
Till it’s just me and the dark
Before your heart
Here tonight
I would abandon the moon
Raise up the stars from their space
Till it’s just me and the dark
Before your heart
Here in this place
Then you would be all I see
Then you would be all I see
