i think i get inverse SAD because so many people/things i've loved have died in the summer
and as a pre-teen i learned about the book of revelations in the summer
so i just imagine god coming down in the blistering fucking heat of southern california where like nothing is ever growing accept for hideous fucking strip malls and everything being taken away from me
i try to tread really cautiously during the summer for that reason
i was just wondering about somebody i was only passing friends with the other day. somebody i'd only hung out with once or twice in my life like a lot of years ago. and i was like "what is that person doing right now?" and then i felt really sad for some reason

I feel in this state pretty constantly. A good example is both my parents are healthy, loving, attentive people who i have great relationships with but ever since turning 30 i’ve probably recited a eulogy for them while alone in my car a dozen or so times.
i think there's a good reason why all the great songs about summer are inherently sad.
i remember getting depressed on july 4th cus it felt like summer was already over, or anyway every moment of summer was already written, which is the same as being over already.

Mono no aware (物の哀れ), literally "the pathos of things", and also translated as "an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera", is a Japanese term for the awareness of impermanence (無常 mujō), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life
the ephemeral nature of beauty – the quietly elated, bittersweet feeling of having been witness to the dazzling circus of life – knowing that none of it can last. It’s basically about being both saddened and appreciative of transience – and also about the relationship between life and death
i got this for most of my life but kindof dont have it this year. i think it's a combination of being basically nocturnal for my job and having spent the previous 9 months predominately in ice and snow. anyway.

i never bothered seeking this out b/c of poor reception at release & i get why people would've been annoyed at spending 30 dollars for the dvd+cd combo of this back in the day but as something you can throw on in the background while you do other stuff it's pretty fucking great.
i always assumed the cover of you are free was in georgia because it looks like all of the areas of atlanta with overgrowth and she has roots there but apparently it's a state park in new york. most of that early music sounds like being sad in the deep south summer with your ass sweating. "what would the community do"/"moon pix" and hte headlights 7" especially. moon pix was recorded in australia. i guess it would've been in the middle of summer in melbourne which also comports with that general vibe i think. whatever i feel like it's a sound/experience that i'll forever associate with her best music.
