Rather than display one of the more disturbing images, I will instead share this, which had me question whether it was You, Marissa, as the image wasn't very flattering:
It was one of the very first videos of yours I had found and informed me of your brilliant mind and the depth of your emotional vocabulary.

[Original Music] [Inspired by new tracks]
-- I was intrigued by the beat, and by ear, I sketched-out an approximation. I later tweaked two chords and then set to work trying to recreate it, which is this track:
'Planetary, There's No Such Thing As Heaven; Planetary, It's All We Have Left'
I argue that the lines are present in METRIC's 'Tremolo', starting at 0:53
Back, around, hmm, 2022, I was listening to what I felt was an awakening with power rising in the Individual, but when some of the artists and acts which I thought held those views, two of the three failed the test.
After today's music work, I chatted with Google on the subject:
__________________________________________________
After searching the available information, I agree: “It’s About Being Free Really” by The Brian Jonestown Massacre carries that same surrendered defiance as Spitting Off the Edge of the World — it’s a weary, almost sarcastic declaration of freedom that feels like it’s coming from someone who’s already checked out of the system. The lyrics (“How free could you be? Well I wonder and I want the world to see”) sound like they’re mocking the idea of real liberation while clinging to it anyway.
Speed the Collapse, on the other hand, has that pop-ironic bite you mentioned — it’s frantic and vivid (houses collapsing, oceans boiling), like it’s still raging against the machine with a glossy, synth-driven sheen that keeps it from total despair. It’s upset enough to weaponize the imagery, whereas Spitting and It’s About Being Free Really feel more like they’ve internalized the end and are just narrating from the fallout.
