Friday 5

It’s the first week back at work, and though I love it, it leaves me tired. Still, there was music, there was sky, and there were words. Here’s this week’s Friday 5.

Song

Soen – Primal

This song dropped last week and it is the first single of the upcoming album Reliance due in January 2026. Hold on to your socks, this one is loud. Soen plays prog-metal, and Reliance will be their 7th studio album.

Photo

When I drove to work this morning, I had the most amazing view. There was a veil of fog, but above the sun was rising, painting the sky in orange and violet hues. The crescent moon was visible as well as Venus. In the above photo, you can spot the moon if you squint a little, just above the stairs that lead to my place of work.

Update (spoken blog post)

The most read or listened post was the above. It was something I tried and will probably do again once in a while. It’s really not easy though. And it has the feel of a Voice Message that is too long.

Jeff mentioned an increase in blog traffic lately (namely from China), for me it was the opposite: a noticeable decline.

Thoughts

A lot has happened this week. From the beginning of school, I covered that at large, to poems being shared on IG, and more.

In two days The August Current will be officially released and I am looking forward to that. So far, there is no interest in it from any side, but still. I stand by it, it’s one of the best, if not the best, book I ever created. I am very proud of it.
