sometimes music ambushes you
I went to a Porter Robinson concert recently
It's interesting how music can surprise
Leitmotifs are really fun
And after spending enough time listening to music, feels like our lives develop some leitmotifs of their own
I first heard a Porter Robinson song as part of a Siivagunner High-Quality Rip, Goodbye to a World mashed up with Goodnight from Undertale
Eight years ago
It's easy to forget how many eras of my life have gone by since then
Only to be brought face to face with it in a crowd
Ears blown out
Porter transitioning to his own older eras after playing material from his newest release
Wind Tempos into Look at the Sky hit hard as he started playing songs from Nurture
"I'll be alive next year"
Moving into Worlds material, we got Goodbye to a World
"Thank you, I'll say goodbye soon"
Maybe it's silly to think of these as leitmotifs of my own life
And over selfaggrandizing possibly
But why would I stop letting art help me make sense of myself
