Hi cuties! Thanks for being here 🌻 It's your gurl's first ever blog post! I've written lyrics, I've written essays… but never this! Let's get into it and talk about this song we dropped. Huge shout out to grooveman Spot for the heat! 🔥 ‘On U’ is about my favourite love language to display/give - quality time ❤️
For the uninitiated, there are 5 love languages (shout out to Gary Chapman): physical touch, words of affirmation, gift giving, acts of service and quality time. Spending quality time is my go-to, so If I give a damn about your ass, I will drop everything and just BE THERE FOR YOU!
‘Baby come on thru, we can sip and chill’ - So if I feel safe with you, I'll invite you into my space and pour you a cuppa or uber eats some pearl milk tea and just be present🧋If you need a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, or a distraction, I got you 🫡
Spending quality time with yourself is important too. I definitely need alone time to re-charge, so it was important for me to acknowledge that in the rap. Here we go! Heh!
'Kashmiri Chai nights by the riverside
Watchin' the carriage lights glide across the surface
I contemplate my purpose
Had me checkin' in
Before I chicken out
Won't let em egg me on'
I'd written this part while sitting by the river near my house. A hot pastel pink drink in my paper cup - post visiting the Ramadan Night Markets at Lakemba. Anytime I feel anxious, overwhelmed or contemplative, I head to the riverside and just allow my catastrophising brain a moment to be still - and do some grounding exercises or name 3 things I'm grateful for.
‘Hatchin’ out a plan
Catch us in Japan
Catcher UFOs
Got ya/gacha ponderin'
As a weeb, I'm always making plans to go to Japan 😭 But in this case, I'm hatching out a plan to play more shows, see more shows and link up with other creatives in Tokyo and beyond to make cool shit that inspires and drives me to continue storytelling though music. I just wanna share and make real connections with yall ❤️ I also wanna go to game centres and find more gacha to trash my home with hehe ☠️
‘Got em all wonderin' - what she up to?
Co-op mode in the coop, just me and my boo’
Look, sometimes you just gotta go MIA on a muhfugguh, SORRY! Protect your energy cuties ✨ I didn't release any music last year and took a little break (that's a story for another time). Really I was at home enjoying being a hermit - writing, reflecting, reading and gaming 😋 Wifey and I have been playing this cosy game called ‘Spiritfarer’. It's the first game that's ever made me cry and it's just super sweet and soothing (for the most part).
‘Spendin’ my time on u
No other love will do babe
Spendin' my time on u
No other love will do babe'
I had to give it to you twice in case you didn't hear me the first time! Anyway, thanks for being here and having a read/listen to my ramblings. Throw in a comment, let me know what your favourite love language to display is! Or tell me how you like to spend quality time with yourself and your loved ones. Until next time, look after yourselves and keep it cute hunnies! BYEEEE
