healing, Melissa

Oh sweet sassy molassy, healing from In Love with a Ghost was something else. Maybe? Am I even listening? Am I somewhere else? 

"introduction" leads me to think “oh, we're in a video game," so that's how this is going to be. As a self described Nice Witch, "i was feeling down then i found a nice witch" is my vibes. Is this whole album what people mean when they say "vibes"? Just some lo-fi beats and goofy-ass sounds. 

"welcome at azerty and qwerty's home" is absurd. We're in the old Tavern of a sage goblin and his friend. They're giving us some sort of riddle to solve. When we solve the riddle, we'll get to move on to "chilling at nemu's place," where we have to decide between a loaf of bread for 500 coins or a sack of eggs for 800. We are not that rich, because we haven't done enough quests, so we move on to a challenge. We need to buy some eggs for the aforementioned goblins or else how will they survive this album?! "i know it's not easy but you're not alone anymore" is for the emo character in this game. He is forgettable. "i hope you don't mind if i come here to cry" is the best title of any song ever. Like, oh, oops, did we all meet here to have a moment? My bad. Are we all privately crying in the bathroom but the stall walls are too thin? Cool. "qwerty enchanted the house and now it's attacking us" is the second best title of all time. Fucking Qwerty is at it again. Little goblin asshole with his tricks. "let's walk across this forest..." is a song I would play if I were a nerd trying to get laid. Maybe I'm Qwerty making moves on his goblin love interest? I bet her name is Flerty. "Hey, baby, can I board your keys tonight?" We round out this album with the lyric "think about salad." I think? I can't dive too deep. But I heard a lot about salad. Think about salad... think...

Finally we're "healing," and it's crackling and breathy and I hope the goblins made it out alive from that bread-less, coin-less existence I left them. It becomes chirpy and upbeat so, um, yay for Qwerty and the gang! Maybe he got laid? 

This Nice Witch is baffled and blinking. Um, what did I just listen to?
