Tales of Possession: 003 - "Half Your Age" // Joywave 

This is honestly one of my favourite songs out there because few tunes really dig into that idea that "hey, it's okay to have dreams and sometimes let go of them even though you've tried your best". The assurance that it's okay to not be extraordinary, showstopping, pride of the family blah blah blah is particularly topical for me - I'm a senior, and we all know that college admissions aren't stacked in favour of most normal, ambitious, but not "amazing" people... But yes, I love this song and everything it represents. And I love Joywave

I love these animations and there very motivational :’)

Gotta love that animation style

Love the lyrics

My favorite ad.

For most Americans, that sense that we can accomplish any dream or goal if we just try hard enough, demonstrate enough grit/resilience in the pursuit of our ambitions, and BELIEVE hard enough, is more than generational. This video reminded me of Tyler Durden's basement speech, but I like that your realization that we're not all gonna be big stars isn't dripping with bitterness and resentment. That's refreshing and encouraging. As Orson Welles said: "Sour grapes? That's not my dish."

this was hilarious, and very relateable, good to hear this opinion!

My dream, since age 8, was 2 b a poet. I was a weird kid.😀 I won contests & had singular works published throughout school & uni. It took me LOTS of submissions 2 publishers, & was quite a complex process. I almost gave up, bcuz I was feeling horribly drained, I assumed, by the whole process. Finally, I received a letter of acceptance 4 not 1, but 2 books!😊 The same month, I also found out I had a rare form of lymphoma (THAT'S why I had been feeling so lousy) I had 2 start treatments a week after the diagnosis, bcuz I was in a blast crisis (DYING FAST.) Nothing worked. 1 chemo would slow it down just enough 2 move on 2 a different chemo. So, my new dream was 2 b the 1 person on the planet 2 survive it. My oncologist found an orphan chemo drug that looked promising. (That's a drug that can't b sold on the world market, bcuz it has no lg scale application, save a possible use in rare diseases.) So, fingers crossed, I seem 2 have attained my dream of surviving cancer. Now, I would love 2 b a ghost writer of anything BUT poetry. I figure why not be a living ghost😊, write for other artists in a shared dream scenario (as opposed 2 a publisher, which isn't exactly an intimate union)😊, & actually make a difference, financially, in not only my life, but the ppl I'm lucky enough 2 work with.😊 Thx 4 your music, Joywave, & pls stay safe on your.💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
