you know i think the thing about calypso in love in paradise is that she genuinely does not understand odysseus. like at all. she doesn't care for how much odysseus loves penelope, she doesn't comprehend how terrified and depressed and agonized odysseus feels, she didn't know what "open arms" meant to him. and as much as it being odysseus being out of his mind with ptsd and guilt and soul-crushing despair for the seven years he's trapped on that island a MASSIVE part of it is that i don't think calypso wanted to understand odysseus. if she tried to, even remotely, she would have realized letting him go was the right thing to do for him, nigh immediately. but no. she just wanted to keep him there with her in paradise.

Pro-Palestine music as protest has been a thing for ages but nothing prepared me for "Hind's Hall" by Macklemore, which has both some great lyrics, some great commentary on protests at Columbia, and for which ALL PROCEEDS GO TO UNRWA.
You don't gotta like his music, but damn. Gotta admit Macklemore has been putting his money where his mouth is for months on this issue.
You can donate directly to UNRWA on their website.
It's not yet on streaming platforms but I heard a snippet in Democracy Now, and he posted part of it to Twitter/X.
I will disclaim that I disagree with the "not voting for Biden" thing, due to the fact that I personally believe that the American political system forces a Lesser Evil approach. I understand the intent, but I do disagree on a personal and political level.

unreal unearth really said that love is both the darkness and the salvation from it and love can both make you feel weightless and like it’s worth the falling and love is both inevitable and choosing to stay in the storm and love is both temporary and everlasting and love is both feeling unknown and knowing someone in the dark and love is both a name and a dream and love is both unholy and like finding god

Not the first time he is committing copyright violations.
Why doesn't the very old man and "Very Stable Genius" just compose his own fucking music? I mean, like "the best music there has ever been, the best music ypu've ever heard ??? Many people say I am a better composer than anyone they've heard of" ....
shouldn" be a problem for a man with his knowledge/skill level ..
Real artists do not support Donald Trump.

you know honestly i would respect taylor swift a lot more if she wrote about being a child star forced into a celebrity career instead of like, still making songs about high school breakups as a 30 year old woman
