I used to like their music without much resonance.
Now... Damn

Hirasawa had won love songs a long long time ago
And no one could compare every since. A poem, a song, a tune, sweet words, baby breaths.
Nothing.
At this point, I wonder whether it's a blessing or a curse.
The West believes "with great power comes great responsability".
Where I stem it's the opposite. Perhaps it is befitting that no one comes close or compares.
Because this man is beyond and above everything, chief amongst them exercising his might over devoted fans. And as such, he keeps on sharing his gift with the world.
Before morning came, I turned the map to the vanished stars* into a song for you
And entrusted it to the people** at the ends of the earth
Hurry, oh ship! The west still lies in the middle of eternity***
Looking out from my sleep, I see that the cosmos is dreaming of you
I counted the things between us that won't change
And driven by our promise, I crossed countless bridges
The stars that vanished that day are now reflected on the river's surface
Oh water, rise up and spill over! Submerge me and bring me towards you.
Someday, let's look up into the sunlight and, on the day when the vanished stars reappear,
Let's sing that map-song that I entrusted to the people at the ends of the earth
Sing "Because I am you!" Sing "Because I am you!"
Before morning came, I turned the map to the vanished stars into a song for you
And entrusted it to the people at the ends of the earth
Hurry, oh ship! The west still lies in the middle of eternity
Looking out from my sleep, I see that the cosmos is dreaming of you
Man. Grief is throwing me all over the place, coming and going. In the moments of peace in-between, I am grateful I have this to mend some of the hopelessness

In an Everything Everywhere All At Once rabbit hole
Man, I cannot wait for my poster.
Also, I rewatched this three times so far.
Convinced a colleague to go watch it again with me.
Convinced a colleague to go watch it with his fiance.
Convinced D to take his fiance and watch it.
Convinced a yet another colleague to go watch it on date night with his wife.
Will be going again on my own and assimilate it further after pretty much ingesting every motherfucking analysis and interview available with the directors and cast.

Everything Everywhere All At Once
I walked into this movie with high expectations and it raised me several rounds. I don't think I've laughed and cried as much for a while now. It has been a surprising blessing of a time, a good break and life affirming time that got me thinking about rewatching Another Round now.
Def getting the poster, and everyone was brilliant, and this movie better be fkn nominated for shit and I'd better start seeing more of those.
In previews I was reminded of Madds and now I have to watch the fantastic beasts stuff to catch up and go watch him next. I am SO looking forward to seeing him on big screen.
TR Adventure
I calculated I'm averaging 14 hours of community service a week. It's increased with BB and TR and I welcome the commitment and the new people I get acquainted with. This is a period of navigating fickle waters. I don't shy away from navigating fickle waters, but I overcompensate by almost never taking a break, or processing my milestones and achievements because, murkier waters ahead and still ahead.
So I take on extra hours, and I join a new team and I intend and try to take a break from my heartbreaks. It may not always work, but at the end of the day, I find out I was less focused on my sadness at times, I poured something good and wholesome into me and others, I had new conversations and started forming new friendships, I was useful and helped where need for help was expressed.
And I go to bed by candlelight by 22h00 and I actually have a good deep sleep.

Nor do I listen enough to this
It's going up against Surface Pressure and Encanto and I am loving every note of it right now
Encanto is a great early morning mood booster to have while eating the pre-fast meal.
