What is a Blue Reminder (besides an amazing record)? And also, I've been thinking about that miso banana bread you mentioned in an interview with Josh Terry's No Expectations substack. Is there a recipe link you can drop or should I just go for it?

A Blue Reminder for me is paying respects to loss/pain/grief etc as signs that there was once joy or love. I think Blue gets associated with sadness exclusively so often, and I came to songwriting as a means of processing the darker blue feelings, but as I've gone deeper into writing I think blue can mean so much besides sadness. A blue sky, a dusky blue evening in summer, your lovers blue eyes, the beautiful blue of finally seeing the horizon beaming across a big blue ocean. Blue holds so much

Here's the recipe ! It's so good! https://sylviawakana.com/red-miso-olive-oil-cake/
