The One That Stole My Heart

Άκου Αυτό:

When I make my move to you, you will know
See, I am that wave that breaks below
I will give you thrills and take your pain
I will lay you down
Like a shadow, like a stain
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
You know the score
Mm-mm-mm
It ain't limited to your knowing looks and touches anymore

But you went and fell in love
And into you love fell
And it made you feel unwell
Oh well

You think I'm about ya
Well, I'm not
The center of my world
Is a hotspot
You think that you know me
You're below me
And you don't

Way down, nothing is the same
Love is all around us, there's no one to name
I know both sides of the cane
She is all things to me, the hopeful and the sane
Seeking only answers
Seeking only answers
Hearing only lies

Once you see my slick eyeliner
Blend into my black designer
Bags under my eyes
Oh, how'd you try to understand
What you done (to me)
What you done (to me)
What you
Done to me
You done to me
You're done to me

You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel

So I'll take this front row seat
And, baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winning tears

The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh (babe)
He's a Leo sun, a Leo moon and a Leo rising (oh, I)
Something dies in his eyes when I find them (ooh)
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, the thrill is gone

The One That Destroyed Me

Άκου Αυτό:

What am I meant to do
With how much I loved you?
It's everywhere, it's under my nails
It's in my hair
Stop haunting me, please

Do you know,
I've dreamt of him every night
We're always in some fight.
Last night, I dreamt we were one.
We had sex - I didn't cum.
I want to be alone,
I'm happy on my own,
Believe me.

You're in my dreams
An awful lot at the moment
And if I know what that means
It means this dance is over for us
One way or another
Is this just a friend thing
Or is it some kind of ending?

Just call me Pavlov's Dog
I'm here, I'm waiting, I'm salivating

(Can I be this way? Can I be this way tonight?)

“May all your delulu* come trululu, because being delulu is the solulu.”

Μέχρι πριν από λίγο διάβαζα στα παιδιά μου μια ιστορία για 101 μονόκερους και όλα όσα πρέπει να ξέρουμε για εκείνους. Όταν σκέπαζα τον Άλεξ, μου είπε με μάτια που γυάλιζαν και ένα πελώριο χαμόγελο «μαμά, οι μονόκεροι δεν υπάρχουν, αλλά αν υπούρχαν-» «υπήρχαν» «αλλά αν υρπήχαν-» «υπήρχαν» «αλλά αν υπήρχαν, θα μας ψέκαζαν γκλίτερ από το στριφογυριστό κέρατό τους και θα κοιμόμασταν αμέσως!» 

Αυτό που θέλω να πω, ως γρήγορη αποτίμηση του 2023, είναι πως (ενώ ο πλανήτης κυριολεκτικά καίγεται) η ανθρωπότητα τα πήγε τόσο σοκαριστικά και αποκαρδιωτικά κατά διαόλου που ο μόνος τρόπος να ονειρεύεται κανείς μονόκερους και ουράνια τόξα, είναι -μέσα σ'αυτόν τον μεγάλο τρομαχτικό αφιλόξενο κόσμο- να πλάσει έναν δικό του μικρόκοσμο, να τον γεμίσει με όλα τα πράγματα που αγαπάει και όλα τα πλάσματα για τα οποία νοιάζεται και να τον φροντίζει κάθε μέρα, με ό,τι μέσα έχει και όσο περισσότερο μπορεί. Δεν λέω να ζει στον μικρόκοσμό του. Λέω να τον πλάσει. Είναι διαφορετικό.

*self-deception as self-care

Έτσι αν μια μέρα όλα πνιγούν στη λάσπη, καταπλακωθούν κάτω από συντρίμια, τυλιχτούν στη φωτιά, ή εξαϋλωθούν σε μια έκρηξη, τουλάχιστον η τελευταία σκέψη θα είναι «ήταν τέλεια, όσο κράτησε» και όχι «επιτέλους».

Αν με ρωτήσει κανείς σε μερικά χρόνια από τώρα τι θυμάμαι από το 2023, ειλικρινά δεν ξέρω αν θα μου έρθει πρώτα η Παλαιστίνη, το Barbieheimer, τα Τέμπη, ο Κασσελάκης, οι δεκάδες συναυλίες στις οποίες βρέθηκα το καλοκαίρι, ο θάνατος του Matthew Perry ή το «νέο» τραγούδι των Beatles. Νομίζω απλά, επιφανειακά κι ανόητα το πρώτο πράγμα που θα σκεφτώ είναι το ότι σε προσωπικό επίπεδο, ήταν μία από τις καλύτερες χρονιές της ζωής μου, ξυπνούσα με χαμόγελο και κοιμόμουν με χαμόγελο και κάθε μέρα σκεφτόμουν «this feels amazing, απόλαυσέ το, είναι προσωρινό.»

Η μουσική, φυσικά, έπαιξε τον ρόλο της. Μόνο που φέτος ειδικά δεν λειτούργησε ως μέσο απόδρασης, αλλά ως μέσο (συνεχούς, έντονης, απροσδόκητης) σύνδεσης.

Τις επόμενες 20 μέρες, μέσα από αυτό εδώ το blog θα σας πω ποιους 20 δίσκους άκουσα περισσότερο το 2023. Ελάτε στο Instagram να μετρήσουμε αντίστροφα παρέα.
