The album uses guitar riffs, fast-paced drumming, and intense vocals to create an urgent, sharp sound that feels chaotic and emotional. Songs like “A Match Into Water” and “Hold On Till May” use themes like pain,…

    Av’s Hot Takes

    Musically & Vine over Tiktok I remember the days I woke up and grabbed my iPhone 5 to be presented with the cringiest, funniest videos ever. Now I wake up to see a girl vlogging her day and eating a 0-calorie bagel while doing her “doom-of-despair gym workout”. I miss the days I could make…

    “The sky above…” by Avalynn Kelly

    The sky above captures a beauty in light But sometimes more sublime in the night Forever changing, yet stays enchanting In soft, silent stars or clouds gently slanting In cold, falling rain or in skies calm and wide, ever feeling it holds Is never disguised.

  • Missing What was Never There by Maezali Barnett

    A simple task. A simple ask. An expectation most would have, yet you lack. The path you had laid buried under years of neglect and remorse. Will the leaves be cleared from the stones? Will I once more seek the attention from a man who has never sought my own? Forgiveness is not forget. An…

    “Like the sun, both fierce and bright,” by Colby Smith

    Like the sun, both fierce and bright, I gaze at you until I lose my sight, Fading as the day into night, Yet in your arms, I find my light. For love, though blind you give me sight, I hold you near, in you I find the strength to conquer fear. Unskilled in life I…
