Inflammable

Oooh my God here it is in the wild! This is, as I'm saying at the start, my very first attempt at doing this but I'm rather happy with it (which is what matters). I didn't want to put too long of an extract for the songs but maybe they actually turned out too short?

Timestamps and additional content:

Books

  • The Sandman by Neil Gaiman (01:24)
  • Shadowbahn by Steve Erickson (04:20)
    • "He's big in Japan, the Cheap Trick of American fiction."
    • "Staring at his ceiling in the dark, he listens to the screams of angels falling from heaven."
  • Carl Jung: A Very Short Introduction by Anthony Stevens (07:00)
    • A few quotes I like:
      • Enantiodromia: "the notion that all entities posses an inherent tendency to turn into their opposite". Jung applied this concept to family dynamics: "as children grow up, they display a propensity to compensate in their own lives for the failings of their parents."
      • "Paranoid ideas and hallucinations contain a germ of meaning. A personality, a life history, a pattern of hopes and desires lie behind the psychosis."
      • "No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you". -> "The right man sitting in his house and thinking the right thought will be heard a hundred miles distant".
      • There are more passages I highlighted but these above are the best to share without context.
  • This Thing Between Us by Gus Morreno (12:12)
