For a long time it was this song. I listened to it constantly like medication for years. Just hearing it again after a long time gives me a sad and nostalgic lonely feeling that's hard to describe.



Lately though, it's been this song. It sounds so ethereal and somber. I lay down in bed and turn this on and just disappear for a long, long time. Usually I pair it with some rain. It sounds magical to me, like a haunting angel's omen from another world.

That song definitely does it... Alison is one I can only turn on sometimes, because it instantly shifts me into this blissful state of hyper focused transcendence. I had it on repeat one night after drinking an entire pot of coffee whilst leading a blinding horde of calvary into a bloodbath in a super intense game and it felt like my entire room was on fire with laughing gas, god particles and god damn space juice. Good times? Maybe. Probably.

^ That sums up your night so well that I'm going to check out this Alison song. Welcome to MB, TTBB

^ Yep, loved Waterloo Sunset and rushed out to buy the single as a kid. It helps that I know the place, and later learned that Ray Davies was thinking of a childhood stay in a London hospital when he wrote it. He really nails that odd blend of resignation, melancholy and optimism that goes with convalescence imo.
