Aural Autumn: Love it if We Made It, by The 1975
I'd love it if we made it. There's no other way to say this: tonight's song will speak volumes to everyone. From the moment I heard it on the radio two days ago, I was floored -- and I don't want to get up yet. The 1975 is a one-man band that I hadn't really … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Love it if We Made It, by The 1975
Bird Box is now a Netflix Movie!
Don't take off your blindfold. Don't look at them. I've been geeking out ever since it was announced back in October that Bird Box, the 2014 post-apocalyptic novel by Josh Malerman, is making its movie debut on December 21st.

Aural Autumn: Smile, by Delectatio
Smile. When I first started posting Sounds of Summer and Aural Autumn, I had so many moments where I doubted myself. 'This is dumb,' I thought, 'nobody is interested in exploring music as it relates to creative writing.' I faltered and almost gave up. It seemed next to impossible to convey how much the right … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Smile, by Delectatio
Aural Autumn: Singing of Forests, by Blure
Something has always lingered with me, ever since I can remember being a kid: People don't want to embrace loss. This world has typically been staunchly against woe. Feelings like grief, loneliness, misery, and uncertainty have been relegated to the shadows. I don't hold that entirely against our kind: being down in the dumps all the … Continue reading Aural Autumn: Singing of Forests, by Blure
