“Suicide Is Painless”
Ren : Hi Ren
I hope you are well friend!
Not at all. Never really have been though and it’s been 43 years so at least I’m used to it.
Thank you. Surprisingly unvulgar and not at all cynical
43 rotations here as well. I think it’s really hard to see any joy when we have grown up in a world that only seems to constantly take our happiness away at every turn.
I find solace in knowing this is all temporary and thankfully, the world will go on without us. Whether that’s us as individuals or are species as a whole.
Until either of those inevitable points though, know that to some small degree you are not alone and there’s at least one random stranger on the internet who is thinking about you in a caring way today.
Smooth Sailing - Queens of the Stone Age
This song has such an incredible vibe. It was played a lot on tour after shows. In the truck, the hotel, the bar. Wherever.
Reminds me of the good days of making music and hanging out with some of my favorite people. I’d like the whole world to feel free, loved and valid all at once. Might just make a difference.
Nujabes: Luv Sic.
Parabol/Parabola by Tool. That song can bring me to tears.
Silver Morning by Brian Eno

Rise Against - People Live Here
Einheitsfrontlied, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhdcdZkiKRI&t=0
(Especially the 3rd verse, translated to english): “And just because he’s a worker No class can free him but his own The emancipation of the working class Is the task of the worker alonе”
I’m noticing a distinct lack of people saying Rick Astly - Never Gonna Give You Up
The emotion: mild amusement
The first time it was a tragedy,
The second time it’s a farce.
Outside it’s 1933,
So I am hitting the bars.And I don’t know what’s going on anymore.
The world outside is burning with a brand new light,
But it isn’t one that makes me feel warm.
Don’t go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn.You are a monster.
You know the song and so do I
It was the song that I was…thinking of!
I knew and I clicked anyway. God dammit.
Same. Made my husband start dancing. 🤣
Happy Birthday, if I’ve gotta sit there quietly and feel awkward, so do all of you
