For as long as I live, I will never forgive Fiona for the layering in that middle bridge of “Heavy Balloon.” Like, wow. The way her voice seems to gradually bifurcate into the manifestations of optimism and pessimism is exactly what survival–not only survival of trauma but survival period, especially now–feels like. She so perfectly and poignantly captures the competing and sometimes complementary feelings of trying to live while not really wanting to at times. At least, that’s how my dark brain hears the song.

It’s such a beautifully hopeful, truthful, timely, and culturally significant song.

I followed you for your Fiona discourse, you do not disappoint

What you mean?! I don’t even talk about her that much!

*Has a realization that “Waltz” is the perfect quarantine song because the waltz is a circular, repetitive dance, and her composition sounds like the manifestation of stir craziness. Furthermore, the entire song is about enjoying stillness, which is what many of us are struggling with.*

In other words, thank you for the compliment❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
