What words can I offer in this timeline? Nothing flowery or solipsistic here. It's a shit time, (like so many timelines etched in history). Harrowing for soft ones, thinkers and those poor souls crushed by industry, greed and patriarchy.
If you need force to make it successful, it's the wrong path. The collective yearns for matriarchy, community, connection and harmony.
Or perhaps more on the nose, a quiet life, a pretty house, a pretty garden and no surprises please.
Juliana Chahayed - No Surprises (Radiohead cover)
This is why I liked the clock app before private equity and government contracts forced their greedy fingers into something that was pure humanity, pure collective. This artist showed up one day last year as a suggested video and their cover of this song immediately gripped me. The delicate intimacy of the vintage telephone, the familiar warm and scratchy vocal sound. It brings me back to a place of quiet and secure conversation with a trusted friend. This closeness is missing with all the digital shit.
I'm not alone. At the time of this post, the YT video alone has 5.2 million views. Point made but then again, if you're reading this blog, you're already this song's target audience.
