Lyra Pramuk - Fountain [Bedroom Community] 2020 song Gossip

Listening to Lyra Pramuk's debut album, I think about the importance of creative limitations. They go against the usual platitudes about imagination and direction in life: 'The possibilities are endless', 'Just Do It', etc. The idea of limitless possibilities is daunting—pushing us to exhaustion just to feel as if we're doing enough with our lives. It's legitimately dangerous to our mental health to continually test the uncharted waters of our imagination. The vastness of the universe and its infinite possibilities are just…too much. On Fountain, Pramuk exercises one major creative limitation: her voice as the sole choice of instrument.
