[this is kind of a review wrapped into a long profile of Mike Mills, The National, and Alicia Vikander. but long story short the film is beautiful and you should watch it]

The National were supposed to take a break. They sure as hell deserved one. After 20 years of tirelessly burnishing their reputation as the country's most consistent rock band — after selling almost 1 million records, becoming President Obama's de facto campaign soundtrack, and laying down the definitive rendition of "The Rains of Castamere" along the way — a little time off sounded like a good idea. The National had just released "Sleep Well Beast," their emotionally fraught seventh album, and this traveling circus of middle-aged dads was…
"I used to fall asleep to you talking to me
I don't listen to anything now
Nothing to do with us
I'm just so tired of thinking about everything
I'm not afraid of being alone
I just don't know what to do with my time
Between you and me,
I thought it would all last a little while longer

"But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake

"You don't know anything
I think about you way more than anything else
I'm not that spiritual
I still go out…

Feeling big, small, scared, at ease

For a film to make me cry is quite an achievement. I have the tendency to keep emotions inside and to myself instead of just throwing them out like that but for a 26-minute short film to make me choke up numerous times throughout by using nothing more than images, sounds, and texts, is nothing short of amazing.

Mike Mills short film I Am Easy to Find is something close to a music-video but like most experiments in that medium these days, not quite like it at all. For example, the short isn't structured around one specific song or an entire album; instead, it uses fragments of songs from the band The…
"But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes
Learning how not to cry every time there's another sad unbearable morning
But sometimes there's nothing I can do"
mike mills is such a wonderful storyteller ah that's poetry
so, i go back to school tomorrow. it's the beginning of my final year. in a couple of weeks i turn eighteen. everything is changing, and growing feels like shrinking; life is pressing tighter on my skin. over the past month or so, death is all i've been able to think about. i'm seventeen, and i can already feel the world slipping through my fingers. i am not ready for all of this - i feel as if i was meant to stay tied to adolescence forever.

i am easy to find paints with feeling rather than colour; it dips into a brush that we ought to fill with our own hopeful eye. it is terrifying and transcendant, so i…
"Im baby"

-Alicia Vikander, 2019
"She dreams of her mother dancing."

Best line I've read this week.
does anyone think depression is a good thing? i love the national. i think they are really interesting artists.
found this at the exact moment i needed it. feeling big, small, scared, at ease.
bro, that shit hurt.

y'all want me to have articulate thought after this? every time i listen to The National, I fucking sob. But y'all want me to ARTICULATE THOUGHT?! nah, fam. i need a minute to myself.
