please don't click off because this is about an american artist. this is about Halsey so hear me out- cause we all know my/some of y'alls faves will be streaming *cough* namjoon *cough*
i'm going to make a thread on this later in more detail but have you ever heard an album, where on first listen, that you smiled to, cried to, etc?
that is "If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power"
it sounds so aggressive but
i want to quickly discuss the closing track which i just heard, titled "Ya'aburnee" ("You bury me" in Arabic)
(using the female pronouns for clarity but they go by they/them)
the song basically discusses how she loves her partner so much, that she believes that they will live forever, and if they don't live forever, her partner will have to bury her first because she doesn't want to live if her partner dies
now. i don't want to elaborate but obviously that's sad and for some people that might hit harder than it does for others.
my boyfriend died a year ago
if you like beautiful and well written and simple and gorgeous songs, here you go.
i'm going to do a full album review asap because it's amazing, and this is actually the only really quiet song on it.
alright, i'm done crying rn. love you all
