I woke up thinking, what's that really emotional song from an A24 movie soundtrack or something? Then, I realized the song I was thinking of was "Magnolias" from Rosalía's new album. That song could definitely be described as what they call "cinematic indie."

"But now I'm keeping still
In someone's bright carnival ride
And all the crowd just cheers
As the bolts break and metal collides
Spiraling through
And flying up over the hills
And now everything's broken in two
And everything we ever were"

He said hope is punk
don't dread, get creative
find communities
Life is full of perception
everything someone says
is their opinion, not fact
She said we magnetize
the energy we put
out, we pull back in
Laugh today
with someone
and breathe
