Do you know why birds sing just before dawn? Scientists believe it's to tell their mates that they made it through the night, as a way of saying, "I'm still here." Maybe that's why we sing, too, why we create art - as a way of saying, "I made it. I'm still here." - Jeff Goins

“The poem, the song, the picture, is only water drawn from the well of the people, and it should be given back to them in a cup of beauty so that they may drink - and in drinking understand themselves.” - Federico Garcia Lorca

Remember that time I released a cover of a Fiona Apple song with extremely awkward cover art?

Every time I try to get clean, you just make me dirty again.

[autumnluzarts]

I tear myself apart trying to make it fit

Until the fog comes and refuses to lift

Smudging out everything. Wrapped in a blanket

Then I'm empty and running again:

muted contentment, floating against the world

pressing against me and through

anything piercing my body but you

Please tattoo me

ink me truly

for forever

paint it through me

why do so many songs just not have bridges anymore. why is your song 2 minutes long

Speaking for others, since I will likely never partake: the answer is Spotify/tiktok

Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.
