Today's meaning brought to you by a top five favorite album ever, my unstable psychosocial milieu, and my longing to create and sing a song around a campfire with a group of people who care about each other.

my longing to create and sing a song around a campfire with a group of people who care about each other. I actually relate a lot to this.

Oh, and This Needle Points North by I Create was the song of the day yesterday. It's meaningful because I have scrolled past this skramz band a few times in the past handful of years on youtube but finally gave them a try and they're amazing -- they fit my mood perfectly. "Sometimes I just can't function. ... Just don't leave me here, oh God don't leave me here."

Lately this song has been speaking to me. Not only because I could need some money but rather, it makes me think that we all are on a journey and that we all need something/someone.

I listened to this song a while ago, but it's stuck with me. Definitely interesting...

Orationem - I Reject Evil
I am trying to reject evil and I suck. From my actions, it seems I'm really not trying at all. Anyways, this song, particularly the second half, is quite strengthening.

it seems I'm really not trying at all It´s like you heard my last prayer, this disgusting cycle of "oh God sorry I want to change" - "sin" - "oh sorry.." - "sin", I don´t think my sorry´s are worth much these days, there needs to be serious change, that I don´t really see happen.

Love Johnny so much, I wish I could be just half as bold as he was. If there´s one thing I highly respect in people, it´s boldness. And this song, such beauty and hope...truly a masterpiece

I've been listening to an artist who makes ' ccm piano music', whatever that really means. I guess some of the melodies are familiar-ish so perhaps they are praise songs but I don't know... or just praise song melodies -- eh, do not care. I like it so much because it is calming and it was recommended to me by a dear friend who is in a similar difficult place as me, just that she has a little less psychosocial burden and a little more infant child to care for ha. I've had it on in the background while working, as I do with most music, but for whatever reason it just seems to fit so perfectly in that it is not distracting but it is ... peacefully present.

I quit talking again But I know you're still listening to see if I sleep or I pierce my skin Needles to the worn out rags The folds in my arms, the sickening black And I haven't been taking my meds Lock all the cabinets, send me to bed Cause I know you're still worried I'm gonna get scared Cause I'm alone again and I don't like the things I see
And I haven't been taking my meds So lock all the cabinets, and send me to bed Cause I know you're still worried I'm gonna get scared again And make my insides clean with your kitchen bleach But I've kissed enough bathroom sinks to make up for the lovers that never loved me And I know my body is just dirty clothes; I'm tired of washing my hands God, I wanna go home

This album got me into Julien Baker. "Something" and "Sprained Ankle" hooked me in; then I was really intrigued by the use of "In Christ Alone" at the end of this track and figured that this was an artist I should spend more time with. I'm curious what you think of her artistic progression. I think Sprained Ankle is far and away her best effort. "Funeral Pyre/Distant Solar Systems" was a solid single. I felt like Turn Out The Lights was a small step down; it felt unfocused compared to Sprained Ankle, and the production was a little too slick, but it was still solid. I never got into boygenius for some reason; I've listened to the album and liked it, but it didn't make much of an impression. "Red Door/Conversation Piece" was enjoyable, but for some reason it too slipped between the cracks. I've probably given all of this way too much thought.

"Red Door/Conversation Piece" was enjoyable, but for some reason it too slipped between the cracks. I've probably given all of this way too much thought Thank you for sharing. Here's my exposure to Julien Baker: the single 'Sprained Ankle' as a one- or two-off listen; end of 2017 (or whichever year her second album came out) I bought Turn Out The Lights and listened to it a lot; probably early this year I heard a boygenius song played by a friend in the car and wasn't captivated but also I wasnt listening that closely; a few months ago I got the first album and I have enjoyed it a lot, probably more so than its successor (even accounting for the novelty of my listening). I tend to enjoy more simple songs, and I think there is more simplicity in her first effort than in subsequent ones. *debates if I want to abreact in describing how i feel about how profound the songs on Sprained Ankle are* ... Hmm. I think I'll save my spirit and mind the anguish of writing about this beautiful album (I've been listening to it since starting my response). Yeah. I like your postscript thing explaining the splendor and glory of Julien Baker and the pretty goodness of black metal.

forgive my brevity-therefore-crassness, but this song (postrock instrumentals with first softly spoken then screamed lyrics about death (or at least trying to fly with no wings)) is meaningful particularly because the vocalist died by suicide welostthesea.bandcamp.com/track/a-quiet-place A plunge
A dive
I gamble fate
Abandon control
obey gravity
From here
Earth's claw cannot over bare
I hear nothing
dead silence I grasp as comfort
I pilot limbs
as if they were wings
Carve through the clouds
Plummet to the below
I pilot limbs.
I gamble fate
I gamble fate
unknowing of what it will bring to me.

Might be arrogant to post my own song, but it does mean a lot to me, especially how fitting it is to my recent state of mind and behaviour. Sin has been rampant and I´ve been filled with such an unusual anger in my gut, it's somewhat scary because I`m usually pretty chill. Funny how I´ve ended up listening to this, today. "I´m a monster.... of sin"

The last three days have been shitty, with static-strangled paroxysms*, tearful pain borne of dreams**, and no great struggle against sin***. And yet 'Your love and Your grace never fail me / Your merciful touch always heals me / You bring joy to my soul ... Jesus, You're more than a friend.' ('It's all about You, Jesus') The song, so to speak, that I enjoyed at the end of this three day period is linked below and the part I listened to ends at the 50min. God's grace and His Spirit helped me to not be completely unproductive these three days, for which I am grateful.
*"I feel as if I'm always on the verge of waking up. I'm oppressed by the very self that encases me, asphyxiated by conclusions, and I'd gladly scream if my voice could reach somewhere." - Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
**"There's a thin sheet of glass between me and life. However clearly I see and understand life, I can't touch it." ibid.
***"Whenever my ambition, influenced by my dreams, raised up above the everyday level of my life, so that for a moment I seemed to soar, like a child on a swing, I always -- like the child -- had to come down to the public garden and face my defeat, with no flags to wave in battle and no sword I was strong enough to unsheathe." ibid.

As perhaps unfaithful as it may be, I sometimes feel like Israel in the desert, wondering why God put me in medical school only to develop debilitating mental health that precludes fruitful studying. *tears being to well* I don't know.
"My soul longs for You Lord in a dry and weary land."

My song of the day is this Shostakovich piece. It portraits a picture of my mind quite well, especially in recent months. It jumps around a thousand things everyday and when it finaly gets to focus and is about to rest, it need to get into battle mode.

The song of today, is this beautiful piece by my friend Justin. I´ve loved it since I´ve first heard it back in 2011 when we first met and it still means a lot to me, I can´t really put in words why but it grabs me very deeply. Bandcamp link

1. Heard it first some years ago, so memories of then. 2. I was feeling it's hard to live. 3. It's a beautifully passionate song.
