Set my body free.

right? I didn't do that one. But, wow.

No shit. Rather than ask my myself WTF I was paying attention to, I went with it. What a different perspective than the original content...

Edit: Hell of a track for the The Square too. Never heard Fever Ray before.

Drawing. I used to. Back at university and at the pub. Graduated almost a decade ago and had the one drink too many a while back. The soul's too broken to draw for now. The skill's there, but the heart isn't. Maybe I'll be able to draw again someday.

I understand you so well. I have a similar story with drawing. I don't think I'll ever be able to return to it, but I wish you luck

I'm interested in film making. Writing, directing. Mainly short films, often without dialog.

I’d love to try it too. I’m especially inspired by horror movies, so I’d probably give that genre a shot.

Im lowkey trying out everything, I'm not really good at anything but I'd say drawing, music production and book writing are all awesome. I always say 'Being decent in a lot of different things is way cooler than being the best at ...'

I got into it again. Get nice pens, a nice notebook. Carry it everywhere. Make time to sit down and draw. The muscle memory is probably still there so the skills return quickly.

It's a nice zen activity. It forces you to go to nice places, slow down and notice stuff.
