i saw a comment that said Deeper Well is like Golden Hour’s older sister who has two kids and a farmhouse sink in her kitchen, which is a mental image i really love lol

as a longtime Kacey fan, i’d love to know your thoughts on Starcrossed! i was really disappointed by it when it first dropped, then recently gave it another listen and came away thinking it’s got some high highs and some very low lows (looking at you, Simple Times!)

Deeper Well hit my soul in a way that has not happened in a while! Curious to know what your faves are. I’ve listened to “Heart of the Woods,” “The Architect,” and “Lonely Millionaire” so many times already! But the album as an album also just works so well

Given the Derry Girls excitement you might enjoy this new show - https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/mar/28/big-mood-review-nicola-coughlan-is-a-force-of-nature

Nicola Coughlan from Derry Girls is in it :)

Have you watched The Dry? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15210882/ - more funny Irish ladies.

Lost more where this came from.............I may be biased as to how funny Irish people are.

I feel like Perfect Days cracked my heart open - I also felt lonely after seeing it!

Perfect Days was so wonderful. If there’s a movie i could *force* people to watch, it would be that.

I’m really liking Deeper Well too! Longtime Kacey fan too. I’ve been waking up and listening to the trio Dinner with Friends + Heart of the Woods + Jade Green and it feels good for the soul!

Adrianne is my very favorite songwriter so I’ve had Bright Future on my calendar since she announced it ❤️ incredible. It doesn’t make me feel depressed though! Just peaceful and nourished. I think “Free Treasure” is one of the most beautiful love songs I’ve ever heard. Probably like 3 out of my top 5 love songs are written by her haha

SO excited about another show by the creator of Derry Girls!!! You were the first to tell me!

I don’t take in a lot of Very Serious media - I find life to be hard enough. I like my escapism. However, I will sometimes take your deeper recommendations because you are not too precious about your media intake. If you can watch Twilight, I can consider watching something you recommend that might make me cry. I just finished Sharkheart. I enjoyed it and found it time well spent. I’ll give Perfect Days a try! It sounds like the right thing at the right time.

how did you reexamine your social

media consumption?

I just started Derry Girls and am now wildly obsessed! Will be on the lookout for McGee's next series in preparation for the anticipated emptiness I will feel once I finish.

Very great post! I will have to take a look at some of these suggestions sometime! I definitely want to see the movie Perfect Days!
