[nope-xbrd]

this sounds exactly like flash delirium by mgmt at the beginning

Ah, man. This song will always hold a special place in my heart. The night I met my ex girlfriend, I played this song for her as she never heard of Inner Wave. She liked it. We kissed as the tune played in the background. We shared our first kisses to this song. From there, that has always been our song and we spent two long, love filled years together.

We broke up in October 2019 on good terms. Though we had said it was mutual, I knew that I was the reason for the breakup. I knew that she had deserved better than me. It was sorta a “Diane/Mr. PB” situation from BoJack Horseman to make a long story short.

She has a new person now in her life and I’m happy for her. As for me, I’ve been busy soul searching. After getting back into meditation, I found that even though I don’t carry a toxic mindset and that my intentions are pure, sometimes the way I went around things with her or with people were not so mature and frankly, a bit childish. Really trying to fix my “toxic tendencies” as not only for my next love could experience a new version of me, but for my own pride as a human.

I couldn’t listen to this song for a long time as it reminded me and her. Not in a negative way, I was just trying to focus on more important tasks to benefit my own well being. I hear the song now, and I have warm smiles at the thought of memories in the past, as well as enjoying it for the actual song itself. I realized that it was fun while it lasted and now I can share this song with my next person, whenever that will be.

Thanks, guys. I’ve seen y’all 5 fucking times and even though I’m still sad y’all ain’t playing in LA this year, y’all are still my favorite band to this day. 2:54 is one of the most psychedelic sounds ever in all of your songs.

UPDATE: Today’s date is the 26th of December, 2020. I feel like I should provide an update on my well being and journey to a more inner and calming peace. I won’t stay on the topic of 2020, we all know how bad things have gotten but I am optimistic that things in 2021 will change. Not soon, but later on in the year, I’d say. Let’s all hope.

Anyways, to put in a few words - I’ve been doing great! I am much more happier and stronger than I have ever been in a really long, long time, mentally and physically. There’s really been a change within me for the better. However, the year didn’t start off with me like. It was still hard and took a lot to accomplish the goals I was so dedicated to obtain and finally, achieved that growth that I should have been doing from the start. Let me explain:

At the start of the year, I had said goodbye for the last time to my ex, face to face, on January 5th. We had spent Christmas and New Years together and agreed to say goodbye when the year started. On that last day, I went over to her house in the morning and delivered a 10+ handwritten letter with my truest thoughts and feelings towards her and everything about her. We hugged, kissed for the last time and said goodbye. It was emotional and part of me didn’t want to leave but I knew it must be done. I was on the freeway feeling good about it. To tell you the truth, part of the reason why it was easy for me to “let go” was because I was already seeing other girls. And dating other girls. I was single, afterall. I didn’t know what the future held for me, but I was ready to head into straight on. Or, so I thought. (Keep in mind, the girls I was dating knew I was just going through a break up, so, things were causal, nothing serious. I didn’t want anything serious.)

We head into March and that’s when COVID hit. Suddenly, all the girls I was seeing weren’t down to come out anymore, understandably so. On top of that, that’s when I had found out my former love started dating a new person. So, that sucked for me. When I had discovered that, it sent me back into a trance. I was sad, eating like shit, broke as a joke with a shitty job and lonely. It was me and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare every day with friends as we couldn’t go on outside, but the toxic antics within me was growing with the game. I lost a good friend due to my toxic nature online and he couldn’t take it. I was growing selfish and didn’t care anymore.

Suddenly, I knew I had to change. I snapped and knew it. I watched Avatar: The Last Airbender and watched that scene of Aang and the Charka Guru, letting go of attachments. It was a very compelling scene that spoke to me. It driven me to tears when I finally realized I need to grow up and change. From that point on, I was dead set on changing myself for myself.

When i was 18, I was introduced to spirituality through my best friends, who were already knowledgeable about that world. I bought my first piece of material called “Be Here Now” by Ram Dass. I read it when I was going through a similar phase in 2016 and it helped me then. In order to establish some refurbishment not only in my mind and soul but persona as well, I reread it. It helped. I needed to restart my construct and it helped. I also read his other book, “Journey of Awakening.” I started branching out to other spiritual teachers and philosophers like Carl Jung, Viktor Frankel, Jordan Peterson, Eckhart Towlle, Russel Brand, Don Miguel Ruiz, Dostoyevsky, Bruce Lee, just to name a few. I bought and read each of their books throughout the years. As cliched as it sounds, their wise words, mantras and lessons have definitely impacted me for greater purpose. I feel my mental state has positive heights, my senses becoming more aware and spiritual self mixed with me have gotten more in tune with each other. I had thought I knew what “love” and “oneness” was when I was 18 reading this stuff, but here in 2020, it proves that I still have a lot to learn. Every answer generates further questioning. But my advice to you is that you don’t need any random quotes or sayings to kick start your journey - saying you’re gonna change is just as good as reading any western philosophy.

I am also more healthy. I am on a strict diet and have a cheat once a week on Saturday nights. I use to weigh 180 at the start of the year and now, I’ve been at a steady 140 with clear muscle growth. I am much more lean and full of energy than last year. I also have a great job that I love, pays extremely well and I’m closing out the year with more money saved than I ever had. One of the biggest problems I faced in my previous relationship was money. I was so strict with it. It would frustrate her by my stinginess and it would make me feel insecure. Now, I spend money more carefully and wisely. I also indulge myself when I feel like I deserve it. Never neglect yourself. You’re always gonna be deserving of anything you purchase because you worked your ass off for it.

As for my dating scene, I haven’t dated at all since March and it’s my choice. I’ve been much dedicating the year to deal with my growing pains. While I did love my ex, who was basically my first real relationship, I had to let go of that love. Loving her from a distance was only holding onto that attachment. I had to release it into the universe and let it go so that I can create room for a new love, again, whenever that will be. Of course, I still think of her at times. I mean, when all this pandemic is going around, how can I not? I hope that her and her family are safe and hanging in there while all this shit is going down. But, to worry about her is not my objective anymore. She’s her own person and I am me. I’m sure she’s doing great despite everything around us. I don’t know her anymore, but that’s what I remember about her. Trailblazer.

I learned how to deal with solitude. Every weekend, I get in my car and drive really far. I drive to either Glendale or Long Beach or Orange or Pasadena or Santa Ana or any city, really. I find a park to sit down at a bench and read or paint, I find a awesome hiking trail that leads to meditation when I finally reach the end or a great city with fun lights and engaging vibes. I put my AirPods on with Inner Wave playing as well as either put on my rollerblades and drift away or admire the things around me like people having fun or the delicious smell of food or pretty sights. Being alone and being lonely are too different things and I enjoy being alone. That’s one of the lessons I feel every should adapt when going through a breakup or any kind of negative feeling in their life. Take the time to really talk to yourself. Don’t push yourself away. That’s not right. You are a loving and most importantly, living person with the same hardships like me and every one else. Ask yourself, if there’s a problem you want to fix. If there’s something that makes you unhappy. If there is and you acknowledge it, you’re on the first step of shifting that into joy. Take your first steps and don’t be afraid to ask for help. It’s never a bad idea for that.

The start of the new year is in a couple more days and I have new goals to try to reach. I hope to have my own apartment studio, train every more harder working out, and maybe, start the beginnings of a draft for a book I would like to write about love, with all the authors I mentioned as influences. If I am going to start dating again, I feel like I am going to meet a new person organically instead of through social media. I have since deleted all that since the start of my growth and I never look back. You should all try it. You’ll feel much better about the world because the only world that matters is your own. You can decide what comes in and out.

Anyways, thanks to all the wonderful and sweet comments below. I smiled at all of them and appreciate the warm wishes. I am sending nothing but love and peace towards you all and hope the next year for is a far more significant year for everyone. <3

Let’s all hope Inner Wave plays again in LA and if there is a gig, y’all best believe imma be there!

I've got a problem
I don't know what to do
I can only love her if she lets me love you too
I'm trying hard to show her
What a man like me could do
If only I could show her
All the things I want to

I've got a problem
I don't know what to do
I think I'm really like you
I hope you're really like me too
What else can I say girl
I miss you all the time
A promise is forever
So I'll keep yours on my mind

You looked at me so curiously I never asked you why
I hope that you don't think that I am trying to decide
It tears me up, it puts me out head spinning again again
We fall in love and fall apart again


So here we are and yes it's a little bit
Too built up and no I aint feeling this
Can't you see that this trouble
142 yes this could be trouble
Here we are and yes I'm a little bit
Too worked up inside to be feeling this
Can't you see that this is trouble
142 yeah this is trouble

[wingsilver]

Amazing but omg does their singer sound so much the 2D from Gorillaz

[god]

when i listen to this song, i think of a couple on their first date at a carnival on the ferris wheel. it's night time, but it's still bright around you because of all of the LED lights. you're at the top of the ferris wheel and it stops. you find out your date slipped the guy running the ferris wheel a five to stop you two at the top. your date puts their arm around you. you lean in to kiss them. then lean in too. you pull away slowly, smile to yourself and lean your head on their shoulder as you two look at the carnival.

you see other people, laughing, playing games, running around. everyone is having a good time.

[positivevibez]

For anyone who wants to sing along ☆
I've got a problem
And I don't know what to do
I can only love her
If she lets me love you too
I'm trying hard to show her
What a man like me could do
If only I could show her
All the things I want to

I've got a problem
And I don't know what to do
I think I'm really like you
I hope you're really like me too
What else can I say, girl? (What else can I say, girl?)
I miss you all the time (All the time, all the time)
A promise is forever (Forever, forever)
So I'll keep yours on my mind

You looked at me so curiously I never asked you why
I hope that you don't think that I am trying to decide
It tears me up, it puts me out head spinning again again
We fall in love and fall apart again
We fall in love and fall apart again

We fall in love and fall apart again
We fall in love and fall apart again

So here we are and yes it's a little bit
Too built up and no I aint feeling this
Can't you see that this trouble
One for two, yes this could be trouble
So here we are and yes I'm a little bit
Too worked up inside to be feeling this
Can't you see that this is trouble
One for two, yeah this is trouble

My ex sent me this song 4 months after we broke up. It made me cry. It still makes me cry. He abused me and I’ve moved on with my life but I still love him I think i always will. This song reminds me that nothing lasts forever

[Kornhubb]

I'm so in love with this song. I saw them in concert a few days ago and had no clue who they were and this has been in my head ever since. I'm hooked.

[STARL]

There is place where everyone can get along. A place where everyone is the same. It's here. Welcome to Vibe City, my friend.

[atlas]

i genuinely think this is the best song ever. yes, it's solely because of my own experience with it, but this song has been with me through a lot and i really value it. it feels so powerful to me that every time i listen to it i get chills. as if im being cleansed, as if all my negative feelings and emotions that have been festering in the back of my mind are wiped away, as if a weight is being lifted off of me. to me this song is really just the embodiment of "nothing makes any sense anymore but i'm content" and since im very bad with change the thought is a huge comfort. everything about this song is so perfect so i only listen to it when i really need the emotional support. im very careful not to overplay it because no other song has this effect on me. i don't know if any other song will. this is the first time i get chills every single time i hear this song, even though i've been listening to it for about 4 years now. i don't know. maybe none of this paragraph made sense, i just want to document it somewhere. i know i wouldn't be able to tell it to anyone i know, not verbally at least.

[lostkidforever]

just listening to this isn’t enough, i need this song imported into my brain tissue
