Friends That Broke My Heart
Another great album from James Blake. Its a breakup album…with a twist, not a lover, but those breakups with friends that sometimes only hurt more.
(Also the video for the lead single “Say What You Will” is great…love the bit with FINNEAS being his foil.)

Loving someone…
“Loving someone is like having a mental illness that’s not covered by health insurance.”

folklore
Taylor Swift dropped a new album on Friday and it is amazing and devastating all at the same time.
So much to unpack. This is an album created in quarantine. Both a return to her earlier pre-pop roots and an exploration into new territory for Taylor. It is a reflection of the strange times we find ourselves in. A time when “the lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and fiction become almost indiscernible.”
I have many thoughts after having listened at least a half dozen times already. Those however are for another day, time, or person.
