The acknowledgement that she had lost complete direction from the path that was once so familiar to her. The music continues softly in the background as she continues to narrate over it, “Can you ever really lose it?/Because I think I did/Can you ever really lose it?/Because I think I did.” Which she repeats once more and delivers and exhale of breath before the music stops abruptly and the album comes to a sudden end. “interlude: lose it” “It feels weird to be writing songs When it used to be the most natural thing in the world to me But I guess something went really wrong And I struggled to hold on Over the last two years I’ve felt my grip on everything I know Loosen for me Can you ever really lose it? Because I think I did Can you ever really lose it? Because I think I did Can you ever really lose it? Because I think I did Can you ever really lose it? Because I think I did” Sound Alike; Flowers Taped To Pens – “North Migration”

It's so good to see you back around, sweetie. I missed hearing your lovely voice again. Ugh, this album has been so needed... I almost wish it dropped January 1, 2020 so that I would have had something to comfort me during this pretty awful year. It's almost hard to pick favourites when your lyrics really cut so deep, "Mirror" is such a gem, so many people are gonna be able to apply "Fading" to their own situations cause girl... that one hits. "Isolation" is a 2020 anthem, and for such a dark subject, like with so many songs on the record, you made them sound so insanely beautiful, like there's a poetic side to the struggle. You're an inspiration. ❤ OOC: What she said - Amy has always been a favourite of mine and it's so good to finally get her sophomore album! You did an amazing job posting this all so quickly, took me by surprise haha. You should be super proud of this project, so well written with many fantastic soundalikes.

Sorry but lmao excuse my language but this is freaking incredible! Like....this is not an easy thing to do; 20 tracks at that! I'm still reading; and will edit my post if necessary to add anything once I'm done but I have to say you definitely outdid yourself here :) I love Amy so much! Her face claim as well!

I've read through the songs like 3 or 4 times since its release, trying to find time to actually dissect the project and conjure up a suitable comment. At this rate though, I feel like I'm just constantly blowing smoke up your arse haha. Your impeccable song writing skills aside (with your wonderful vocabulary and ability to create such create stories in one simple song), I am even more in love with just how "Amy" this is. It feels like the album she HAD and NEEDED to put out. This is the character you have created and built put into music form. These songs are like tapping into her soul and just adds even more layers to an already well established character. This album concisely sums up a very important part of her life while simultaneously pushing her into different territory as an artist. Absolutely stunning job.

Amy: Nadia, I could say the exact same about you, you've definitely been missed. It does fit in with the tone of 2020, I can't deny that. But if anything, this year has just highlighted a lot of the themes on the album. I think time away helps reinvigorate, I guess the time away built these songs up inside of me and they remained hidden for a good while, to the point where I thought I may have no songs or even reason to write anymore. You can feel a little stale and repetitive in what you're doing. But I'm so grateful for this bunch of songs, maybe not the situations that inspired them. But it's hopefully all building towards something better. OOC: Thanks, I had no intention of bringing her back anytime soon. But I wrote one song that sort of fit her character and then they all came flooding out. I'll probably not be able to write anything half-decent for like a few years now hahah but for once I'm happy with how it came out and how it's been receiving. I also love the soundalikes. :)

OOC: No worries! I'm about as guilty at that as anyone, I'll read something and plan to comment a little later and forget. Thank you, it all came together super quickly hence no warning or prior promo but it was a joy more than chore. I did want to push for 24 tracks, but felt like it would have definitely been overkill. Thank you, Amy has always been a favourite of mine too! Appreciate the comment! :)

OOC: Nah, I know I went overboard with everything at once but this is literally all that I have planned for the album. I'll have her tour next year and write a performance rp at some point but just wanted to put everything out at once and I know it's probably too much to have to read at once but definitely appreciate you taking time to read any of it. It's a weird one for me because I guess I never really knew what her solo stuff would be like until now, but I like that you consider this the character in one album, that's even way more than I'd have hoped and expected from it. I appreciate the comments and the fact that you've taken the time to read it. Thanks again! :)

I probably met you a decade or so ago and your voice and songwriting craft blew me away then and somehow have only gotten better as time has gone on. Shit. This album is a ride and I'm buckled in to enjoy it for years to come! This is a timeless record. You made THE record to fit these strange times we're all living in. I truly think this is your best work as an artist across the board. You know I will always love you and praise you as the great (now blonde) hope in music. OOC: Super late to the party here but just had to say this is fantastic! I truly love how you structured this album out and it is so strong in every sense of the word, the descriptions, the lyrics. I've always enjoyed everything you've done with Riot! and how you've built Amy as such a uniquely interesting character. This is spot on.

I've always enjoyed everything you've done with Riot! and how you've built Amy as such a uniquely interesting character. This is spot on. Amy: Ryan Ross Hernandez! In an industry where you're always bumping into familiar faces (pre-covid obvz) yours is one that is more elusive than others. What's the deal with that? In all honesty, I've came to understand the importance of having that space away from the center of everything in this fame culture and respect you all the more for it. We first met a whole long time ago, I was a kid, 17 years old, fuck. Your support has always been there though and I thank you for that. I truly appreciate the kind words on this record, I've always put my heart into what I do but this felt like something even more than that. To know that the record is thought of in such a way truly humbles me and puts me at a loss for words. Thank you doesn't seem like enough, but thank you! PS. remember that self-titled Riot! debut album you produced? It's ten years old in July, that seems like reason enough to revisit and celebrate, right? 👀 OOC: Thanks man, I appreciate that! It was completely out of the blue but once I had written a couple of songs it seemed like an obvious route to go with her. I'm sure you know how tempting it is to keep going to that well in terms of the band thing but I really fell in love with the idea of her stepping away from that and going with a more raw and personal style.
