I'm 104 years old and I remember the first time I heard this song in 1944 after we liberated Stockholm. It touched my heart then and it touches it now.

hour 20 without icedancer...
i began to shake when i first heard the news of it disappearing,
and didnt think it was real.
i went to spotify and it WAS real..
the sight of it horrified me and i started hyperventilating.
i tried to distract myself by listening to other albums,
such as eversince and redlight,
but that only made me think about it more.
i then proceeded to break into tears and start violently shaking.
i had to turn it off because all i could hear were the
voices in my head saying
"ICEDANCER IS GONE...
ICEDANCER IS GONE...
ICEDANCER IS GONE..."
and i went crazy.
so crazy i started abruptly
sweating and breathing heavily,
i felt like i was about to die.
as the hours passed,
it got worse and worse.
i felt like demons were taking control
over my mind and monsters
started to arise from my heart.
intense shaking,
sweating,
sobbing,
and screaming non stop. for hours on end.
i tried to console myself by taking a rest,
but that night the thought
of icedancer being gone kept me up all night.
i managed to get around 40 mins of sleep,
waking up with bloodshot eyes.
though i was insanely tired,
i thought that maybe
icedancer would be back,
so it would be okay.
i slowly made my way onto the spotify app
, reluctantly searching
"icedancer",
hoping for the best.
my heart starting pounding
as i realized it wasnt there.
i ran to the bathroom with
the urge to vomit,
and i starting brutally
vomiting up blood.
tears started viscously pouring out
of my eye sockets.
i could feel all the demons
exiting my body
as the blood and
tears emitted from my body holes.
to calm myself down,
i decided to finally go on a walk,
after years of being locked up,
decaying, rotting away in my bed,
listening to icedancer. ......
huh?
whats this...?
it was sharp and green.
my eyes widen as i remember.
GRASS.
i hadnt seen the sight of it in years.
as i bend down
and softly lay my hand onto it,
it almost pierces through my skin.
ouch.
it hurt my weak hands
which
havent ever touched anything else
besides my phone, and airpods.
thinking of that made
me remanence back to
the times when
i was able to put in my airpods
and listen to my favorite album,
icedancer.
this nearly broke me back into tears.
as i run home,
i make it to my room in time.
i knew what was about to happen.
i jump onto my bed and burst into a mental breakdown.
with my hands aggressively shaking and
my mind filled with voilent thoughts,
i come back to my senses.
this isnt what bladee would want of me.
i cant think this way.
that brings me slight peace,
and calms me down enough
to make my hands steady enough to write this.
with my eyes still filled with tears,
and waterfalls streaming down my cheeks,
i will go to sleep again tonight,
with the only thought in my mind
being that icedancer is gone.
its been very hard getting through these past hours,
and im not sure if i can make it any longer.
if i die tonight,
youll know why. t
he pure pressure of icedancer
being removed from my life.
i just cant take it anymore.
as i lie my head on my pillow,
i wish the best for the rest of you,
as im sure you may have had a similar experience as me.
goodnight all,
and maybe forever.
my only wish is to wake up tomorrow
with icedancer infront of my eyes.
otherwise, i wish to not wake up at all.

conclusion



“I'm glassy, shattered
Wrapped in bubble plastic
I'm fragile
…
I can tell that something's broken
Stop, smell the roses
I see things in stop motion”



Fragile, Ecco2k, 2020





The eternal ‘nowness’ amounts to the experience of an elongated virtual present which runs parallel to physical experiences of chronology. In Hito Stereyl’s 2018 lecture, Bubble Vision, she outlines
‘virtual reality’ Stereyl traces this to Jaron Lanier, inventor of some of the earliest virtual reality equipment in the 1990s. She states: “he wrote recently that virtual reality is best thought of as the removal of a single human shaped mass from the fabric of the universe” (Stereyl, 2018).
as a space/time in which we can be teleported into without corporeal reality: “everything revolves around you, like a spherical universe, yet at the same time, your body is usually missing from the scene. So you’re both at the centre, yet you are not there” (Stereyl, 2018). This phenomena can be further extended to the data storage facilities which allow me to access these cultural moments and relive them on loop. The intercise between physical reality; the located cloud and the experience of it as entirely virtual is predominantly an experience of time and its displacement.

Fictionalising chronology in a way which mimics the internet experience seems key to the aesthetics of lingering - in this framework, time is not only not linear, but a narrative tool. The tongue-in-cheek Drain Gang fanbase operates - like Wong Kar-Wai - from within cliche, a folding mythologising of genre protagonists which further removes a coherent idea of time and place. As step-printing and other visual techniques of synchronicity/lack thereof make visible our experience of fractured chronology; lucid instrumentals blur this distinction between now and not now.
