BI FANS, HOW ART THOU? I must say that not even sniffing crack and then drinking up some meth water could make me as jittery and excited as I am at this very moment. The complete album was released yesterday. The album has a simple name, but I, being the number one fan of Blonde Ivory, believe that it is absolute perfect for them: Musings.

I mean, can you get anymore perfect than that? In my opinion, no. You cannot. It is not possible. It fits their aesthetic so much. It fits who they are so well. It fits the tone of Hayden's songs so perfectly. I mean... The songs, the music, every strum of their guitars... All of it feels so personal. The album name feels personal. I must say that I love it with all my heart.

Don't even get my dumb ass started on the album cover. It's so perfect. Oh my gosh. Do these girls have to do this much? Do these girls want me to die from loving them so hard? I mean... Is that what they want? Because that feels like what's happening.

I have never been so proud. I have never been so happy for our girls. They have come so far. A little over a year ago, they were opening for Firelight Moon. Hardly anyone knew who they were. If I'm being honest, I didn't know who was who. I thought Hayden was Shiloh, Macha was Kasey, Kasey was Macha, and Shiloh was Hayden. Look me in the face, and tell me you didn't think the same thing. That's right, you can't.

We lived through so much drama, so many bad things... As did the girls. We've practically grown up together. They helped me through a lot of hard things and huge milestones. They've made me more comfortable in my own skin. For that, I will always be grateful to these girls. They are my heroes. I'm sure most, if not all, of you feel the exact same way.

Now, here we are. They've released their own album with songs that I must say are pretty damn catchy. Some of them are a tad repetitive and some of them sound a little basic, I must admit. Being a fan, I feel like it's only fair that we point out what they've done wrong and help them get better. With that being said, I absolutely cannot listen to Pulse: aka the song Shiloh wrote about her relationship with Taelyn. Now that we all know that their relationship is fake, I feel almost sick and annoyed listening to it.

Of course, there are a few other complaints. A couple of the other love songs seem a little fake as well. Aside from the one partially written by Kasey which goes into vivid detail about god knows what. That song is called Suck-ulents. I think it's supposed to be about her asexuality and her struggling with her boyfriend. But... I've never felt so confused in my entire life and asexuality isn't even that confusing. I mean, how can there be that much detail without really describing anything.

Then there was that one song written by Hayden: Scars. I felt that one got a little too descriptive. I, obviously, understand that it's about her struggle with self-harm and her journey with getting better. Maybe I'm just being dramatic, but I honestly don't want to hear about that sort of thing with Hayden's purple prose. It makes me sad. I'm sure that all the twelve-year-olds listening to that song did not want to hear about the voice in Hayden's head telling her to kill herself. None of us want to hear about the many different ways she thought about killing herself while on tour.

A huge part of me hopes that they don't play that song on tour. What if it makes Hayden relapse or something? I'm no therapist or psychiatrist but surely singing about that sort of thing isn't going to help her move past it. But I don't know. It could be therapeutic for her, I guess.

Regardless, the good definitely outweighs the bad with this album. At least for me personally. I know that some radio stations keep playing Languid on repeat. It might be the cold, winter weather here, but every time I hear it in the car, I fucking cry. Her words are so beautiful. Her thoughts... I just can't believe them. I know I've already orgasmed over this song in the past, but I can't get over it. Languid truly captures how poetic and amazing Hayden can be. It's one of those songs that people will be talking about for many years in the future. It's an instant classic and nobody can convince me otherwise.

The moon shines bright tonight;

I hold my body tight in my arms.

I mean, how can you not like that? The beginning lyrics just hook you into it. I would say that I wish the other songs were just like it, but I think the fact that there are no other songs like this, is what makes it so amazing.

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of fighting my mind.

It's a losing battle and quite frankly I'm tired of losing something that is supposed to be mine.

I'm tired of having to prove that I'm fine.

They all pay attention to my words, but have they noticed that the fine lines on my wrist are almost invisible to their naked eyes?

Come on, guys... Anyone who can't appreciate this is absolutely insane. These lyrics literally are pouring from her heart. This song is drenched in her thoughts, in her feelings, and in her soul. This is obviously my favorite song on the album.

Languid liquid. I used to hate being finite. I used to tire from being human.

That was then. This is now, and I can finally admit that trying makes me happy.

Hardwork pays off, and the only payoff I need is a second-chance at my life.

If I could go back to the past, I'd ask myself what was wrong and I'd actually listen.

How... How... Can anyone in their right mind not enjoy this? I would post the rest of the lyrics, but I'm not trying to get copyrighted. Please, everyone... Listen to it. Actually listen to it. I know some people are already getting tired of it because the radio overplays it... There's a reason for that though. It's so beautiful. It deserves appreciation. That's the tea, sis.

Anyway, I'm going to go listen to it right now. Maybe even get some homework done. I'll update you guys later.
