      it's impressive to take note of the fact that it's not usually that we partake in the event one enoumours themselves into thinking not of musicality generales, yet points at the avenue of endeavouring needed to point out the actually necisitty of poignant fact remain not if an afront is given stance..

    This song feels like looking up at the afternoon sun with my eyes closed, and the diffused light and warmth through my eyelids lifts my mood just a bit when I'm not feeling my best. The visuals of the video also capture that feeling so well.

    lyrics:
    Some days I can't believe that I'm still here
    Some days I feel like I have no more tears to shed
    Instead, I'm emptied out, dead
    Desperate for that feeling of excitement
    Praying for a planet alignment
    Sultry face, sulky in lace
    Sex that leaves you effaced
    Losing the arms race
    Your family's disgrace
    The dreams that you chase
    Turns into meaningless space
    A sulky baby losing grip
    I'm staring at you from the cliff
    I'm looking down, I feel the bliss
    I wanna jump, but I see your eyes
    A sulky baby
    A sulky baby
    A sulky baby
    A sulky baby
    Sweetness undefeated
    I feel your warmth, but I evade it
    I wanna eat your face
    Can you get me out of this maze?
    You hold your weapon armed in gold
    You're staring at me so cold
    You pull the arrow from your back
    And I can feel it pierce into my chest

    This song had me on the verge of tears. Truly beautiful Yeule. ‘Some days I can’t believe that I’m still here’, ‘desperate for that feeling of excitement praying for a planet alignment’, ‘the dreams that you chase turn into meaningless space’. You don’t know how deep that resonates with me. This track conjures up a totally unique potpourri of apathy, nostalgia, numbness, longing, dreaming, calmness and desire to ‘go sidewalk diving’. Serves as a dreamy and bittersweet escape to and reminder that we can never really go back to our childhood or the feelings of peace and love and sanity that came with it and that we have no choice but to clench our teeth through the unrelenting horrors of life. Such an incredible instrumental and vocal delivery too. Softscars was life changing, I hope more people experience it

    Whenever I listen to this song, I can’t help but think about my aunt’s cat who passed away a few weeks ago. Despite being a cat she reminded me so much of my childhood self, as we were both known for sulking and having the dreams that we chase feeling like meaningless spaces.
    The last time I saw her in person was when my aunt and uncle came over to my house and brought her along. When I played this song while I was sitting on my bed and she was sitting in her cage bag which was placed right next to my bed, she looked up at me in such a way where I could tell that she loved this song and it had touched her as much as it touched me.

    Multidimensional artist Nat Cmiel, a.k.a. yeule, shares their first offering of 2023 with the single "sulky baby" alongside announcing signing to Ninja Tune.
    The track blends 2000s alt-rock and shoegaze infused with melancholic satire. yeule has described the song as a conversation with a younger version of themselves.
    Cmiel keeps a collection of journals that they refer to as 'scars' and for "sulky baby" yeule began to sing the scribbled words of their childhood reflections aloud. It came out all in a flood with one of the pages transforming into an early iteration of the new single.
    The torn pages from their journal are like torn memories highlighting the mortality of the page, crumpled and stained. The lyrics aim to romanticize their memories to ultimately find closure and healing.
    The single is also accompanied by a video directed by Jaxon Whittington, which visually portrays yeule confronting their childhood self. yeule opens up about the meaning behind the song sharing, "'sulky baby' was like a 2000s alt-rock shoegaze hybrid tinted in sad satire. I felt like I was talking to a younger version of me, stopping her from crying, looking back at the ways I betrayed and neglected that innocence from myself. I failed to protect her and I felt like I needed to go back in time and fulfill what she was starved of. So that she could return to my side. So that I can smile like a little kid again. The song gives quite vivid descriptions of a depression I felt with almost a burning passion, yet I tried to give it a light-hearted tone. I think romanticizing is not always that bad. It helps to do it sometimes when you're dealing with a repressed memory. I think it is called an advantaged delusion?
    Sometimes, that's the only way I can remember parts of me I don't want to remember, so that I can lay her to rest and heal. My mother used to tell me as a child, not to sulk all the time. I guess that's why sulking is so special to me."

  • @ひっくり返ったカメムシ

    幼い頃は夢がたくさんあったけど、大人になるにつれて「自分にはできないこと」が増え続け、今は心にぽっかりと穴が空いたまま生きている。幼い頃の夢を振り返ってみると現実味がなく馬鹿馬鹿しく思える。だから子供の頃の自分と大人になった自分は区別して考えることが多い。でも結局は同一人物。あの頃の夢を叶えないと一生満たされないのかもしれない。

    I find it interesting that the sky and color scheme of this video changes from a purple when they're with the their inner child/younger self) to a cold blue when they are alone. I wonder if there's a correlation to how Yeule has changed her profile picture from purple to blue ever since beginning this new era of their music. I wonder if maybe this new album will be more about being alone or alternatively about their connection to their younger self.

    In my view, this video shows Yeule and their version as a child. It's like she could take care of her as a child and maybe give her the comfort and love she didn't feel at all.
    I don't know if that's the idea of the video, but that's what I felt with all of this. Thinking this way makes me feel even more connected with Yeule. I saw myself in this video and in the ways I take care of the child I was.
