Play with me, my love, in the summer sun I'll be waiting in your favourite Cheshire grin Lay with me, my dear, in the evening clear I'll be dreaming in my paper-pale skin

[deliciouslyfrightening]

When I heard Glass Animals - Mama's Gun, I got shivers down my spine, it fits Saltburn dreadfully well.

Thus I made an edit in one evening.

Basking in the unresolved tension between Felix and Oliver, how tragic that their friendship never crossed the boundary of physical intimacy.

Guess I was born to make mistakes

But I ain't scared to take the weight

Song Review: Orange Moon by Erykah Badu

It's a tremendous disservice to Erykah Badu's legacy to only focus on this one song, Mama's Gun is one of those albums that deserves a billion reviews, but, I'm not on that level as a reviewer!! So many others have said what I would, and to much greater effect! So have my meager offering, a dive into Orange Moon, my favorite track.

I would listen to Erykah Badu sing about literally anything, because her voice is so smooth, so clean, so lovely. She could sing a grocery list and I would still be just as spellbound. But she doesn't sing the grocery list, her songs are always filled with a deeper meaning. Orange Moon tells us about believing in yourself, what it means to love someone who does the same, its restorative power, the way it heals. Love like that is special, it builds and sustains you, like an orange moon, you hardly ever see it, so always remember and appreciate when you get it this good.

The way she starts acapella like she's just out in the park on a long, languishing summer night just evokes this feeling of decadence within nature that she just matches when the ensemble comes in. Like you're immediately just swamped by the song's collective weight, suffocated in the best way, death by groove! It's so slow, so lush, so *comfortable* in the undeniable moment of unmitigated, contagious joy and love you feel in the arms of someone who sees you and speaks to what's inside.

The dancing flute line in 2:45 as she just harmonizes drags you beneath and you lose yourself inside the soundscape. And then we're right back in the verse before the centerpiece of its long, looping chorus.

That "how good it is, how God it is" and the way it tangles itself throughout, is TO 👏DIE👏 FOR👏 She just melts it into this jam by 5:15 that pushes and pushes as the chimes and crickets dance in the background, the wildlife of a summer night. Here, love will always be alive 10/10

I have conflicting feelings about Mama's Gun because like

The character is psychotic and i appreciate it (as a psychotic person LOL) but i dont enjoy the whole "psychotic person kills loved one and doesnt remember doing it" 😔

Its just a bit stereotypical imo but the song does have a place in my heart

In checking to see if this purse was real leather I discovered it's actually a "Gun Totin' Mamas" purse designed for concealed carry. Spotted at a Wings resale in Niles, IL.
