Hey folks!

I’m having a strong urge lately to connect to themes of isolation and melancholy.

Anyone else enjoying this stuff?

Here’s a list of some that I enjoy. Also, the strongest imagery I have for this is a little island on another planet, with meadows, a little wooden house, pools of water, etc. while seeing the star-studded universe above.

Here are some examples I enjoy

Ozamu Dazai’s No Longer Human
Sandman TV show
Angus & Julia Stone - The Devil’s Tears
The Eddie Vedder Album for Into the Wild
Everything about Invoker in the animated DotA movie
Boy - Fit Back In

Please share anything around these themes you enjoy, or your thoughts in general :)

(will update my list, if anything else comes to mind)

Thank you!

    Ooh, you might enjoy Scavengers Reign.

    From inverse.com:

    a dark sci-fi adventure show about the crew of a cargo ship that crash land on an alien planet with no hope of being rescued

    The crew are scattered across a hostile planet, so it does deal with isolation. And I think “melancholy” is a pretty good description for how it made me feel. Plus, it’s visually gorgeous and bizarre.
