I love the 90s and I love Opn but this record didn’t do anything for me

I love the '90s, never heard 0pm, and this def does nothing for me... I don't hear much in the way of "songs" (and I guess the production isn't necessarily my cup of tea, either)

Hard to reconcile the genius of opn with this mediocre bullshit

bye bitch

^That phrase was my exact thought when I just saw Musk was terminating his Twitter bid

it’s an album by soccer mommy not opn ffs

once again being bowled over by "night swimming" being one of the best break up songs ever written...

i love the way she establishes this feral desire, situating herself among the elements, broken away from society, gesturing at feelings and environments that transcend the human experience...

I want someone who's following a dream
Someone like me
Who feels the air inside their body running free
I want the breeze

Well, the moon is in the water
And I'm dancing with the current and my clothes
Are on the beach
You stay with the earth
'Cause you don't understand why I would wanna freeze
The irony

...and then threads it back into modern interior life, unable to run wild, fumbling to articulate her feelings as her partner is distracted by technology...

We learned to dance, and I was swaying all alone
You're stiff as stone
You lock your heart up in a place I'll never know
The distance grows

Try to break your walls
But all I ever end up breaking is your bones
Bruises show
Standing in the living room
Talking as you're staring at your phone
It's a cold I've known

...and then back to the dark beach and cold water, bringing the story full circle from the first verse, but also tying the stone metaphor together just in this stanza, in general i just love the imagery here, the idea of hoping that this exciting, spontaneous moment will re-electrify your connection w/ this person, only to come up for air and be faced w/ the truth... the idea of water being a place that you can be cleansed and reborn, except she emerges freezing and alone, no rapture to be found...

You watched me sink beneath the water like a stone
And then let go
I came for air and found that I was all alone
I should've known

Swam back to the shoreline
And found that all you left me was a note
I read it slow
You said that you had loved me
But you knew that you would end up on your own
A sinking stone

perfect song

Bleak House is incredible. Krook exploding is perfect.
