The cicadas are out, everywhere -- and I mean everywhere. Dr. Wes here, I know some people think these weirdly colorful locust-like critters are creepy-looking, but as a musician often inspired by nature, gotta admit there's something uniquely fascinating and haunting about the sound that the cicadas make when they finally emerge and take over the forests every 17 years. Natural rhythms often have their own music to them, and there's a certain beauty to the sound that these intriguing creatures make in their curious mating rituals. Besides, you gotta feel some pangs of sympathy for the poor little guys. After all, no matter how badly the US Incel-verse may have it from time to time, just imagine having to wait 17 years for your one shot at the dating scene -- and having to evade hordes of hungry birds, frogs, fish, and Lord knows what other predatory monsters are lurking while you're at it. . . . . . #cicadas #naturalcycles #naturalrhythm #naturalrhythms #naturesmusic #forest #soundsofnature #17years #naturalsounds #woods #cicadasounds #soundsoftheforest #incels #incelverse #forestsounds #eeriesounds #eeriesound (at Chapel Hill, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPZyjMQDjmQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
