Carried by a tune

The unique power of music

to transport me to a time when I felt happy, safe, proud

the comfort that slowly seeps through the slow chill that has been suffocating 

playlists that now mark the passage of time

placeholders for the thoughts, feelings, and dreams that seemed so far removed from my current reality

mono. pt. 2

As promised earlier, a deeper dive into mono. I'll be linking the lyrics and translations from one of my favourite fan translators, for better understanding.

Reflecting on mono.

mono. I love this mixtape playlist. I was in Hong Kong when it was announced, to the surprise of everyone, and I was just about to drift to sleep two days later when it dropped. I sleepily put my headphones in, loaded the forever rain music video that was released at the same time, and fell asleep to the sound of rain.
