I absolutely love the Song "Still" by Daughter - the entire album actually!

Amazing that you're able to find peace in the situations you described (especially the tube). I used to become incredibly anxious in settings like that, although I've learned very well to channel my focus and maintain calm when I'm feeling overwhelmed by (lots of) people... Strangely it never bothers me at gigs though - maybe because the music creates a sense of interconnectedness with those around me?!

I love Daughter! If anyone asked me why, I wouldn’t be able to explain... the songs just speak to me.

Crowded settings used to make me extremely anxious as well. There was a time (during covid) when even going grocery shopping felt like a (scary) adventure. I still have moments when noise overwhelms me, but I try to remind myself that it’s only for a short time. Maybe noticing it is a distraction, or maybe it’s a way to break free from the closed-in mindset they want us to get stuck in, whether it’s through a phone or our own thoughts.

Gigs are definitely different! I’m hoping this year I’ll find the motivation to start going to some again 🎶 they hold such a special space

There’s so much peace between your lines.

I am trying to be mindful and more present. It’s not always easy so all reminders are so needed.

Your lovely music choices made me smile too 🥰

It’s definitely not easy! Especially in this fast paced world where there’s so much going on all the time

Sometimes I forget too 😅
