@@strangewayfaringstranger uncertainty must drive you

The next Celine Dion!

you should listen to "sirens" by Mary Fahl

You guys should also listen to All Delighted People (original version) by Sufjan Stevens. ❤

when she goes higher register for long notes, daaaaamn

@@Datpleb it's just too good 😭😭😭

This album is currently MURDERING ME (in a good way)

@@briankamps it's still murdering me and I'm happy about that

It is. They're both about the relationship between escapism, denial, and narcissism. In Movies, Natalie gets lost in the fantasies of the stories she grew up with and dreams of herself as their main character, neglecting reality in the process. This song is what you get when those dreams don't come true and fall apart, because your imperfection makes you incompatible with them. God Turn Me Into a Flower is heavily inspired by the tale of Narcissus, a man who fell in love with his reflection because he saw it as perfect, but did not recognize it as himself. The third verse is Natalie's realization that although she dreamed she was the star of a show, she did not recognize the star as herself, and when she began to do so, the fantasy fell apart because it was incompatible with who she is. But she also saw her own beauty regardless of that. The "flower" symbolizes a better ability to cope with reality, one that is not concerned with achieving unrealistic or overwhelming expectations and is instead soft, flexible, and beautiful in and of itself. A symbol of acceptance of the self and reality. I love those two songs because down to the love of fictional narratives and how that led me to not recognize my image of myself, I have lived them both. Only now am I becoming the flower.

you're totally right @@alexz4752, personally this is my favorite song of all time, the best song I've ever heard in all of my life, I have to hear this song like I need to breathe, beautiful poetry, it's like a dream, a mystery, something beyond all of us, ineffable, peace for me, truly a refuge.

yes, it truly is, I agree

Interesting. Another person felt this way in the comments, saying "Seriously top 3 most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard." I replied to him with the other two songs: Franz Shubert's "Ave Maria," and Prince & the Revolution's "Sometimes it Snows in April."

In that case you HAVE to listen to The World Spins by Julee Cruise, it's an imperative thing to do, please listen to me and let me know what you think about the song. For me it's the most beautiful song of all time, along with this one, I love both so much.

@@docchicken245thanks for the recommendation.. what an amazing song..

😭

So beautifully expressed, April. Be well.

A review of the album I recently read called out this song, and mentioned that there were notes of it being an empowerment song. But instead of wanting to be built stronger, she wants to be made into a flower, so she can survive being stepped

@@briankamps I know this is old...but man that is bars!

True, for me it has also a parallel to death, like when everything will end your body will go back to nature turning into a flower

you are spot on with those comparisons!

Congrats on making it a year and a half (now over 2 years?) I'm just starting my transition and this is an anthem

I am the proud mother of a trans daughter. Near your age. I now understand why boy clothes upset her so much when she was a child. Wish I would have known then. And much sooner. Her transition is going well. She had her breasts done last Monday. I went with her and everything went well. So we're a couple of years in. I see that you posted this 10 months ago. Hope all is going well. I too felt this song. For my daughter. But also just in general, being a cis woman. It certainly could apply to anyone.

@@denneyandthejets7833 Could not agree more. Wow! I thought I was crazy for equating this beautiful song with transitioning. But I did. For my daughter. I only recently found Weyes Blood myself. And this song really really spoke to me on many levels.

@@romanasky6820 you are a great parent. Congratulations to your daughter!

"To know my name, to know its sound", "The curse of losing yourself when the mirror takes you too far", and the last verse, god, it's like this song was made for people like us, isn't it. Wishing you well sista

are you kidding me... OPN and Weyes Blood on the same track... I am going to cry

OPN is so overrated

@@MasDouc I disagree :)

That makes all the sense. OPN's small parts can add so much to a song. Like what he did for Daybed on Magdalene.

Just wiped my tears and I will be seeing her perform soon my heart is full

@@lemoncakesandmoonpies nice!

Same she sold out near me too 😢

@@lemoncakesandmoonpiesI hope your show was as transcendent as the one I attended.

biblically accurate angel is a term I'll try to incorporate more in my everyday life

idk too much about christian mythology but aren't the angels in the bible fuckin gnarly?

@@gizzardgizzard3583 Indeed they are gnarly.

@@gizzardgizzard3583 they’re human like in most books of the Bible, they’re only weird looking in the book of Ezekiel

It definitely is I listened to it on the vinyl I got in the mail today. It might even be better than Titanic Rising.

Fricken angelic af cuz

Certainly one of the best

Is there a drop date yet?

@@JoeLaRocca it’s coming this Friday

I can fully understand what you mean. And for me, although I know it's silly, I don't want to see my favourite people in the world not resonate with my favourite albums in the world. I tend to be extremely protective of albums such as Titanic Rising or Bloom by Beach House as they mean so much to me that I don't want to feel shattered if my loved ones are just "meh" about them. I know it's completely irrational but I guess that's the way it is.

I know exactly what you mean ! ❤

@@espeon2488 No cause I can feel you too, which is why I tend to not show what music I listen to directly to all my friends Like, I would probably share some on IG story or Spotify playlist or something but you know damn well I will not tell you to listen to my favorite musics directly in front of your face

Gatekeeping is good!

Every person I've tried sharing their music with calls it "shit". Luckily I don't talk to these people anymore

Nah natalie wouldnt eat you

Living the life i see

@@solarqueen2555 i was really unhinged back then going through it lol

😢😢

This was a stellar year for music. Going to be a lot of diverse and excellent top ten lists this year.

@@johnsonspark171what other stellar outputs there were in 2022?

Very accurate LOL

I love you, my beautiful boyfriend

I lov u both. Nvr 4get xoxo

i love you guys too

this is so cute 😭❤

Your boyfriend is secretly gay if he's a male that likes this kind of music

That's exactly what I feel. Both songs are celestial, majestic and utterly sublime.

Inspired by the myth of Narcissus I think.

@@lancewalker2595 Yes I know,I read her posts but this is more a personal interpretation (thank you anyways)🤗

@@veronicagiannetti266 I just discovered her today. I'd love to read what she's said about this song, where did she post?

@@lancewalker2595 I read the posts on instagram, I advice you to listen to the first album of this triology (Titanic Rising) too

@@veronicagiannetti266 Definitely will do! Based on this one song I'm confident I've discovered a genuine artist, which is quite a rarity these days.

Beautifully said.
