2012: my top 10 albums and the mess of it all

it’s 2012. i’m 15, messy, and trying to figure it all out. we’re in peak tumblr culture, before it got sanitized. lana’s playing on my cracked iPod touch while i scribble in a diary hidden under my bed. this list is as much about the music as it is about the moments it soundtracked. let’s get into it

top 10 albums of 2012:

"Born to Die" - Lana Del Rey this album raised me. “blue jeans” had me walking through the halls of my high school like i was the protagonist of the saddest indie film.

diary, february 16, 2012 i’m sad but still want to be hot.

2. "Channel Orange" - Frank Ocean this album wasn’t just music; it was therapy.

diary, july 10, 2012 my best friend didn’t even flinch when i said i thought girls were prettier than boys. she said, ‘duh.’

3. "Visions" - Grimes this was the sound of my tumblr dashboard coming to life. alien, weird, ethereal; grimes was the patron saint of every girl trying to escape her boring small-town life.

diary, march 23, 2012 i wore eyeliner today. not like normal eyeliner, but grimes eyeliner. mom asked if i was okay. i told her i was fine.

4. "good kid, m.A.A.d city" - Kendrick Lamar this one hit different, even though his world was a million miles from mine.

diary, october 2, 2012 the lyrics to ‘bitch, don’t kill my vibe’ are gonna be my next tattoo.

5. "Electra Heart" - Marina and the Diamonds marina gave me a blueprint for being heartbreakingly dramatic and still kind of in control.

diary, may 14, 2012 put on ‘primadonna’ and danced around my room until i collapsed. the mirror and that fucking cockroach were my audience.

6. "An Awesome Wave" - Alt-J this album felt like discovering a secret. it wasn’t for everyone, but it was for me.

diary, august 28, 2012 it’s like they took all my weird thoughts and made them pretty. maybe one day, i’ll figure out how to do that too.

7. "Halcyon" - Ellie Goulding this was my running-away album. when i wanted to disappear, i put on “anything could happen” and imagined hopping on a train to somewhere no one knew me.

diary, november 3, 2012 i’m tired of being stuck. maybe one day i’ll leave and never come back.

8. "The Idler Wheel..." - Fiona Apple fiona apple’s raw, unfiltered genius was like a slap in the face. she made me feel seen in my anger, my sadness, my everything.

diary, june 5, 2012 i slammed my door so hard today that the handle came loose. i’m so full of everything and nothing all at once. it’s exhausting.

9. "Lonerism" - Tame Impala this album was my escape into another universe.

diary, september 17, 2012 math class is hell. i put on ‘feels like we only go backwards’ and pretended i was floating instead of stuck in a desk surrounded by people i’ll probably forget in five years. (SO DRAMATIC WTF)

10. "Some Nights" - fun. this one was pure drama, and i loved it. it was the soundtrack to all my overthinking, overfeeling, and overwhelming moments.

diary, april 11, 2012 sometimes life’s okay, i guess.

2012 was a mess, and so was i, but looking back, it was kind of beautiful in it. these albums carried me through the storm, each one a little lighthouse guiding me somewhere better. here’s to the music that saves us when nothing else can.

Living life in phases

Another season changes

And still my ways are aimless”

Supernatural Fanfiction

A Jungle Full of Hunger by tameimpala

Searing white hot anger pulsated through his entire body. Dean wanted nothing more than to sink his own teeth into the monster’s arm in revenge and finally taste something. After all, it was an eye for an eye. Or in this case- an arm for an arm.

The only food source in Purgatory is Dean, but what if he developed his own taste for the creatures who hunted him?

Set post-season seven and during season eight- AU canon divergence

Na Faixa #1 - Borderline (Tame Impala)

Ao melhor estilo "Tameimpalesco" recheado de sintetizadores e muito reverb Borderline é um dos singles lançados em 2019 que posteriormente chegou no álbum The Slow Rush (2020).

Borderline é uma música que fala sobre a sensação de estar no limite entre dois estados emocionais, sem saber qual é o verdadeiro. O vocalista e líder da banda, Kevin Parker, disse em uma entrevista para a Apple Music que a música é sobre "estar sempre na beira de algo, seja bom ou ruim, e nunca saber de que lado você está".

Ele também revelou que a música foi inspirada por sua própria experiência de mudar-se da Austrália para Los Angeles, e sentir-se dividido entre dois mundos da cidade, seu gamour mas também seu lado sombrio e superficial.

A letra da música reflete essa ambiguidade, usando palavras como "maybe", "sometimes" e "kinda". Por exemplo, no refrão, ele canta: "We're on the borderline / Caught between the tides of pain and rapture / Possibly a sign / I'm gonna have the strangest night on Sunday". Ele não tem certeza se está sofrendo ou se sentindo extasiado, se está prestes a ter uma noite estranha ou se isso é apenas um sinal de algo maior.

O estilo da música também é uma mistura de elementos diferentes, que criam uma atmosfera psicodélica e dançante. A música tem influências do disco, do funk, do pop e do rock, combinando guitarras, sintetizadores, baixo e bateria.

Algumas curiosidades sobre a faixa são:

A música foi usada na trilha sonora do filme The King of Staten Island, dirigido por Judd Apatow e estrelado por Pete Davidson.

Foi ´performada ao vivo pela primeira vez no programa Saturday Night Live, em abril de 2019.

Indicada ao Grammy de Melhor Performance de Rock em 2021, porém perdeu para Shameika, de Fiona Apple.

A música também passou por várias mudanças antes de chegar à versão final que conhecemos. A primeira versão foi lançada como single em 2019, mas depois foi regravada e remixada para o álbum, ganhando um ritmo mais acelerado e uma produção mais refinada.
