    I've never been one for lyrics, but there's just something about Headache that I love, a mix of the profound and absurd. Vegyn's production is so good as well.

    I only discovered I have aphantasia 2 years ago, aged 38. It was quite the bizarre realisation that most people actually can mentally visualise things, it stunned me to be honest and definitely felt weird for a while. I’ve read of some people becoming super depressed after finding out, I was bummed for a bit, mostly about how I imagine most people can dwell on fond memories aided by visual memory. On reflection I think explains a few things about me as a person and my preferences. The main two being that I have always loved music and film but struggled to get into fiction writing. I also seem to deal with grief quite quickly and always have done. The crazy thing to me is that it is such a recent discovery scientifically, you’d have thought this would have been known about for 100’s of years and well studied. I can definitely relate to a lot in the article, thanks for sharing.

    Right, I’m off to sleep… where I do actually see things in my dreams!
