Mesmerising exhibition. Lovely to hear her talk about it.

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well, you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then, I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch, you hung up on
Somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)
Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

Somebody

[aab-aab]

Can you tell me how you achieve this painterly color palette in photography? Is it the film used? Is it the in the development process? Or color corrected as a post effect? The walruses photo is specially amazing!

[katherinec]

Title is misleading since it doesn't talk about the Russian Hyperborean legend.

[cyan]

Hyperborea was located in ancient Scandinavia. Greeks placed them just east of and next to the Celts. It was the land of amber

[plasticharp]

What the fuck where is hyoerborea CLICKBAIT

[osirisone]

How some people could be totally fixated with nothing but space and ice is beyond me maybe it's because I'm melanated

But you didn't have to cut me off
