Slowdive - Souvlaki One of my favourite albums of all time starts with the song "Alison" - a shoegazing song about a girl whose life is in shambles with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes etc. taking over and the narrator trying to help her but she laughs. He gets a thrill from watching Alison self-destruct even though he knows she shouldn't be doing this to herself. One of the best songs I've ever heard in my life Machine Gun is about a song where the narrator feels like they are drowning, which most of us might have at some point, metaphorically speaking but instead of it being a cold death, the song seems like the ray of light hitting the water surface and splitting into a lot of possibilities 40 Days is one of the saddest songs in this album. It's a beautiful breakup song where the narrator is still missing their partner. The 40th Day after death is also a traditional memory service, family gathering, ceremonies and rituals in memory of the departed after his/her death Sing brings the atmosphere of calmness again - it feels like the narrator is in some kind of otherworldly rainforest Here She Comes is about crippling loneliness despite being surrounded by people. Being complacent is often a dense mechanism humanity uses to cope with life and escape from their problems temporarily Souvlaki Space Station is one of their most experimental production. Frenzied, jazzy, peaceful and spacey all at once When The Sun Hits is about the narrator's fear that his love is burning too strongly and too quickly.His lover plays with his mind and he gets used to it because his lover is burning away. He begs her not to leave him after coming this far Altogether is a song about pain in a relationship but it's all fine as long as they are together Melon Yellow is probably about limerence - a state of mind stemming from an obsessive romantic attractive to another person and a desire to be with this person and get one's feelings reciprocated Dagger is where it seemed like the heartstrings weren't being pulled enough. It's about a couple who are slowly wounding each other emotionally and the realization that they can't stay together. #music #slowdive #souvlaki #shoegaze #rock https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp3tqFXDtQd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pnws9tg8vcfe
