[ID copied from alt: A stylized digital drawing in black against a background with a fiery yellow-orange gradient. It shows a leaping hare from the side, with a wide eye, a scar beneath its eye, and a broken string tied to one of its feet. The hare is surrounded by the outline of a flame. There is a distressed effect over parts of the drawing, as though some of the black ink has been smeared. End ID.]

I know I listen to a lot of Saint Mesa, but the fact that you managed to pick like. Only songs from him is so funny. I promise I have a more diverse music taste than this lmao

Throne by Saint Mesa

Is Darkolai coded

[randommmthoughts]

Imagine a quidditch game of Gryffindor

It is a very even match, and suddenly music starts playing. Softly, the gryffindor supporters start chanting something. Their voices rise, and rise, until all you can hear is their chant.

It’s not ‘Gryffindor’. It’s not a name.

All they say is

Bring the lion out

Bring the, bring the lion out

[magpies-gold]

No. Legit. Why is Saint Mesa's music not more popular? I am flabbergasted. I'm a bit in love.

Some faves:

Spotify arbitrarily suggested a couple of this guy's songs to me months ago and I-- hello? Where has this been all my life? Every one I listen to is a banger. What. And then I got Tim hooked by flicking new tracks that I'd found at him. And now I think he's listened to all of them and I'm still catching up. He even wandered over to the the Saint Mesa Instagram and left a comment about how damn good these songs are. And got a reply! Delightful. But I see the numbers on these tracks and they're way lower than I feel they should be. So I'm sharing. Because that's how this works.

Have you heard of the pop artist Saint Mesa? I was kinda on the fence about him and then I heard this song...thought it was really pretty and kind of fantasy/mystical sounding till I found out its a Hillsong Megachurch (fundie cult with major influence) original. Regardless of whether or not you had, I thought you would maybe find it interesting as I can see how this song would really easily make its way through pagan and spiritual circles if you weren't aware of its origin. Feels sinister.

Never heard of 'em before. And I just listened to that song, and yeah, I can see how people could get caught up in the ocean and water imagery and miss the Christianisms in there at first pass. (EG, "find you in the mystery," "my faith will stand," "your grace abounds," "in the presence of my savior," etc.)
