JoeAg Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) just saw her in denver with my best friend and it was an absolutely magical show every song was immaculately performed, and we each snatched a long sleeve tee and a hat! she snapped with the merch for sure some asshol* ostrich lady standing in front of us told us to “shut the f*ck up” but she didn’t ruin our night, though she tried. my best friend and I bonded over the songs (Picture Me Better in particular) and though she’s not a fan, she really enjoyed herself! I do wish Weyes Blood would’ve performed The Worst Is Done but that’s my only complaint! what a fantastic night this has been Edited March 18, 2023 by JoeAg

I was so depressed missing her the first time around but I'm glad she's coming back! I hope she will sing The Worst Is Done too because it's my favorite as well. Your post hyped me up even more, I don't know how she performs live so I don't know what to expect.

JoeAg Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 queen finally remembered that she’s actually in the middle of an album cycle and is performing on Colbert tonight!! (lol i’m playfully dragging her because i know she’s been working hard touring and performing beautifully )
James_Dean Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 I went to her show last week and it was amazing got her to sign my vinyl collection afterwards too

JoeAg Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) i mean what can i say? she absolutely KILLED it her voice is such a mindblowingly powerful yet so tranquil instrument, she sounds like how a cool creek feels on your feet in the summertime right before sunset Edited April 1, 2023 by JoeAg
SchmoodRing Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 cant wait to get into her and this album. this will be my introduction
Born to Run Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 I sorta want to go to her show in May but none of these songs click with me after several attempts. Prolly will still go...

I know Wild Time came significantly after the two other MVs last era but i’m impatient and Children of the Empire or The Worst Is Done really deserve one 🥺

Chaos Angel Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Took a break from this album after replaying it so much in Nov/Dec and it's now hitting even harder Such a beautiful work that means a lot to me. Also, Grapevine did not used to be one of my favorites but it's now up there and has me in a chokehold with its nostalgic melodies. Back in early March I actually drove through the grapevine, covered in snow at the time, while listening to it. Peak experience. Edited April 25, 2023 by Chaos Angel

Chaos Angel Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) This album continues to create full circle moments in my life Its funny to see which songs slip back into my rotation after my obsessed/“honeymoon” phase of listening to this thing in full over winter. Almost every song I returned periodically, but The Worst Is Done did it for me today. It has been so long since I’ve related to a song of that tone, and it’s because I finally feel more balanced than I have in quite a bit. It feels mature and realistic; life throws one thing at you, you heal it and think that’s it (and you should celebrate that); but there’s always things out of our control around the corner that we have to be ready for. Seems like a well balanced state to be in. Out of all songs though, God Turn Me Into a Flower just stops time for me. It’s so sacred that I can’t listen to it more than a couple times a month (in fear it will lose its magic); knowing well it’s my favorite. Edited June 12, 2023 by Chaos Angel 1
