Recently I've been so depressed that everyday I wonder if I should keep on living. I worry that I'll never learn how to function in our society. Some days I feel better, and other days I feel worse. But as I'm arguing in my head whether continuing to live is worth it or not, I hear music like this, and the choice is so clear, being alive is amazing! Messy and harsh, but amazing. CHON's music reminds me of all the great and purely happy times I've had with people. And I want to keep on living for those moments. I want to write songs and stories. I want to spend time with my friends who feel just as dysfunctional as I do, and have problems with our messed up world and want to change it. I listen to CHON and I get so much hope, and I feel so happy and at peace. I feel like even though life is strange and uncertain now, there have been and will be good memories again. And even though life is a giant clusterfuck of strangeness, that mess is something that I can embrace and work with.
Hey bro all you gotta say is "fuck it " and keep your head up, I know what your feeling it's just that my mind is strong and I don't let that mess me up
It's not that I "don't have a strong mind", there's just a lot to figure out, and life can be very dark. I've spent a lot of time trying to come to peace with anxieties that I have, and other questions I wonder about life. And I'm glad that I took the time time to deal with those questions, instead of just saying fuck it. I've learned a lot and have come a long way. But I still have a lot of growing to do.
I'm working on having a "healthy egoism", well put! Part of what also makes me depressed though, is thinking of how society is dependent on sweatshops, factory farming, and a whole lot of other messed up things. And on top of that, I'm ALSO dependent on those messed up things that contribute to a system that hurts people. Every human wants to be happy, and I truly believe that society should promote a healthy happiness with it's people. The end of goal of our society is Capitalism, and it makes being happy a labyrinth based on money. (When I say society, I tend to generally mean first world countries.) Anyways, I have no idea how to accept this reality, while also be against it. But my friend says I should use my anger to do something about it! And I'm leaning more in that direction. My heart goes out to all the angsty people. I feel like we all saw something wrong with the world, and now don't know how to be happy.
I was recommended to listen to CHON- Bubble Dream as a " reference track" for deciding which headphones to buy on an audiophile hunt and my oh my was I blown away by what my ears dwelled upon. Instant add to favorites and have non stop been listening. Finding out its been this long is also a shocker but your never late to music , it is timeless , cheers yall i freaking love this track!
Same, my old friend posted "Knot" on facebook, and i saw all their songs after that..this one is my fav, best part is definitely at 1:19 Dat transition doe!!
Listened to this for the first time today. Read the comment before reaching 2:20. Almost created a backstory that had a kiss. Not disappointed. Best kiss so far :')
I'll always remember my first show I caught of them in the basement of an old church in Memphis! Had no idea what I was about to be blessed with but damn am I happy I went!!!
I'm not shitting on their music lmao. You can take it like that, but I can't help but think about someone rushing around with a cart, angrily getting groceries. Nothing wrong with that. Still good music.
Saw these guys just last night!! And I can honestly say they have my heart now. They played so intensely and with so much passion, words weren't even needed!!
Dennis Martinez yeah I saw them with Thrice and Circa Survive too. Agreed, definitely wish their set was longer. If they headline and come to my state, then I'd for sure go see them
These guys are insanely talented. Soft and smooth but technical and heavy all at the same time, amazing. Sounds like a song that should have been on the old Amp'd snowboarding game back in the day. They should come up and play at the Reggae fest up in Sugarloaf some time.
Idk what it is about chon but no matter which song I hear, it always gets me envisioning taking a stroll during the summer, usually along the beach or the park
I had tickets to see Chon last year and my car broke down just outside of the town they were in 😭 I was stranded and missed the concert and I'm SO PISSED lol
I love the light, sort of xylophone sound. I heard this song for the first time this morning at like, 6:30 AM and i was half asleep but those little sounds caught my attention and i immediately asked what this song was called.
Månsken dude fr.. DMT, the fact CHON stands for Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen, which is the atomic signature of Earth and Humans. It is the majority of our elemental makeup.
High as fuck in the passenger seat, my sister is driving. It's six a.m. We're on the way to school and it's still dark out. This song starts to play, and it drags me out of my thoughts. It was so euphoric, and remains so. Listening to this song with a blunt in hand is the definition of self-care and you can't convince me otherwise.
