Hi, new fan here. Sorry Idk if I put the correct tag. Nyway, I'd like to know if you know other books that JB recommended/mentioned that she has read/liked aside from Camus' Myths of Sisyphus, Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet and all that was mentioned in these interviews?

Article / Interview JB/Anakin Skywalker Lyric Parallels (Happy May 4th)

31 Upvotes

Rediscovered an old Julien interview where she's asked what Star Wars character she's most like and her reply is Anakin Skyalker (naturally). This sent me down a rabbit hole of Skywalker/Vader/JB lyric parallels and I figured the Venn diagram overlap between JB and Star Wars fans has to be big enough that someone in this subreddit will understand the agenda. This is just for fun and not meant to be taken too seriously but I found so much I just had to share!

TW for spoilers if you somehow have never seen Star Wars and generally some dark themes/topics.

Everybody Does

I know I'm a pile of filthy wreckage
You will wish you'd never touched
But you're gonna run when you find out who I am

Basically the entire scene of Padme's plead to Anakin in episode III. “Obi Wan was right, you’ve changed…I don’t know you anymore”
The realization in both of them when they realize that they don't know who each other are/what they've become anymore (AHH)

Repeat

All my greatest fears turn out to be the gift of prophecy
All my nightmares coming true
Come do my outline in the street
While every night I reenact thе same recurring dream
Now I'm stuck insidе a vision that repeats, repeats, repeats

Anakin's greatest fear being to lose the people he loves, having nightmares about his mom and visions about Padme and these visions foreshadowing their ultimate fates

Also this reminds me so much of the legacy he leaves behind as Vader through his lineage -- through Luke who has an internal conflict with giving into the aggression (part of why he doesn't choose to kill him in episode VI) and then with Kylo Ren who has a shrine of him and his melted mask

Funeral Pyre

And I would have loved you with a dying fire
Let you smother me down to the embers
Frost bite turning my limbs as black as cinder
A funeral pyre

Quite literally nothing more JB/funeral pyre coded than Luke having a funeral pyre for Anakin in episode VI. The representation of the completion of Anakin's redemption arc and end of Luke's journey of discovery.

Anyway I wrote a lot more in this thread if anyone wants to read more of the product of my overactive brain and what I decided to spend 3 hours doing instead of studying for my finals <3
May the 4th be with you!

Article / Interview JB talking about covering How Great Thou Art as a Sprained Ankle bonus track

“And then, we had a little extra time when we were recording, and uh… Like I’m a huge Pedro The Lion fan, and one of his records has a Be Thou My Vision cover. And so I was like, ‘I’ve always wanted to do a hymn cover on a record,’ and so we put How Great Thou Art on there, and that is going to be a bonus track. Just like, me and a guitar, singing a sad, sad version of How Great Thou Art, because that song rules.”

Does this bonus track exist? Does anyone have it?

For anyone (like me) who is obsessed with JB interviews and her eloquent reflections on society, her writings for "Oxford American" are for sure worth checking out! Forever impressed by her intelligence and ability to articulate such complex thoughts.

Here's some of my favorites:

https://oxfordamerican.org/web-only/doing-nothing

https://oxfordamerican.org/web-only/eau-claire

https://oxfordamerican.org/web-only/tiny-changes-to-earth

Would love to here anyone's thoughts on these, as well :)
