FIVE SECONDS FLAT
I just want to take a quick moment to shout out an album that I've had on repeat lately. FIVE SECONDS FLAT by Lizzy McAlpine came out earlier this year, but I'm bringing it up now because I finally got to see Lizzy live at the Troubadour last week. If your FYP looks anything like mine, you’ve likely seen many TikToks of folks scream-crying to Lizzy lyrics which perfectly define the journey of heartbreak and betrayal—but don't worry, I promise there's some levity in the album too! Back to my main point, though: It was amazing to see Lizzy and the rest of her band play live. Her album includes the extreme emotions of heartbreak but also the soft sounds of falling in love, trusting, and starting anew. To me, so many of her songs sound like the embodiment of a fall morning. Put the album on on a Sunday morning and enjoy the ride of some of my faves: "orange show speedway," "doomsday," "all my ghosts," and "ceilings."
