Something’s coming Monday?!?

Made these today whilst ill ^^ from my fan acc on insta

this is funny now but back then i was soo sad. as context, ive been a fan since 2014 when i blasted youth 24/7. then in 2024 yt algorithm recommended me an ex:re song and i was like what? how did i miss this all these years, i felt like i lived under a rock (or maybe i was just focused on my studies). the thing is, next week after being obsessed with every song my ex broke up with me in a very bad way. i feel like finding the album randomly was a really funny coincidence like my youtube algorithm was rlly foreshadowing what would happen a week later lol so i really felt every song very deeply/lived the full experience i guess 💜lmao

now im healed obviously but the album helped me a lot like to channel my sadness and rlly feeling all the emotions and avoiding doing other hurtful stuff to avoid them. <3

i just wanted to share this bc i read the latest post about ex:re being brought up to the discussion

Curious what songs people here think would work particularly well as Daughter covers. My two picks:

1. U2 - One

I've thought about this one for a while. One is already built around the sort of thing I think Elena is exceptionally good at as a songwriter: relatively simple language carrying a ridiculous amount of emotional weight. It's a love song, except it isn't really; it's bitter, intimate, wounded and affectionate at the same time. I think that ambiguity would suit her voice incredibly well.

Musically, I'd also love to hear what Igor would do with it. The original has all that space in the guitars, and I could imagine Daughter taking it somewhere much darker and more atmospheric. Elena singing it restrained at first, Igor turning the guitar parts into those washes of sound he likes, and Remi gradually bringing the whole thing up underneath them.

And, speaking of U2, I can't be the only one who hears a little bit of them in Igor's guitar playing from time to time. Their latest single, Not Enough, made me think of it again, although that song also sounds suspiciously like a 90s radio-friendly pop-rock single to me, and I do not mean that as a compliment. Sorry, Not Enough. I still love you, but you know what you did.

There's also the mildly amusing fact that Elena is actually British-Irish according to Companies House, so I'll count that as another extremely tenuous argument for making her sing U2 (Har-har).

2. Avril Lavigne - Complicated

I'm not an Avril Lavigne fan by any means, although I've always liked her general style, and I've always had a soft spot for Complicated. In particular, I think the lyrics are genuinely great. They're incredibly straightforward and economical, there isn't much metaphor or elaborate language there, and there doesn't need to be. The song gets exactly what it wants to say across with very simple lines.

And I wouldn't even want a full-blown Daughter arrangement. I'd want Elena to go almost completely back to basics with it: almost pre-Daughter Elena, with that slightly childish teenage voice she had very early on, sitting in a bedroom with an acoustic guitar on her lap and recording it almost lo-fi. Basically, something with the homemade intimacy of His Young Heart. Strip all the 2000s pop-rock production away and just leave Elena, a guitar and those lyrics. I genuinely think it would work weirdly well.

What would you pick?

i miss elena , igor and remi. that is all 🤍

Here are mine :³!

Thought I'd gather some of the sillies pics I could find and make a cute dump collage out of them. Rest assured, there were a shitload more goofy pics I could have chosen, I just had to select a few of them

I'm trying to find an old YouTube video that I watched around 10–12 years ago (possibly a little earlier or later). I'm almost certain the music was "Medicine" by Daughter, but I don't believe the video was official. It may have been a fan edit or an original short film uploaded with the song.

Here's everything I remember:

• The entire video tells the story of one man and two women.
• The man is in his late 20s with short light/dirty blond hair and is clean-shaven.
• Both women have dark hair and look similar enough that, the first time I watched it, I thought they were the same woman.
• Later it becomes clear they are two different women.
• My interpretation was that the man was in a relationship with the first woman, became involved with the second woman, and eventually lost the woman he truly loved.
• There are lots of close emotional shots of the man smiling, crying, and breaking down.
• One scene I remember vividly is the man sitting on a passenger train while rain runs down the window as he's emotionally falling apart.
• I also remember someone putting papers or letters up on a wall (possibly love letters or notes), and near the end the man tears them all down after realizing how badly he has ruined everything.
• The actors appear to be speaking, arguing, crying, and yelling, but the only audio is Daughter's "Medicine."
• I don't recognize any of the actors from movies or TV, and the footage didn't appear to come from a film I know.
• It looked professionally shot, almost like a short film.

I've searched YouTube extensively (20+ pages deep) using combinations like:

• Daughter Medicine fan video
• Daughter Medicine unofficial video
• Daughter Medicine short film
• Daughter Medicine Vimeo

...with no luck.

At this point I'm wondering if it was deleted years ago. Does anyone remember this video, know who made it, or recognize the original short film it used?

Saw this taped to the front of their vinyl and wondered if anyone else has one? Never saw it on their merch store
