00:00 [inhales deeply]

00:03 Hey, I'm Landon Parker,

00:05 and welcome to my mind massage.

00:08 I'm going to take you through a sound journey

00:11 using some of my favorite things.

00:14 [guitar playing]

00:16 [rattling]

00:18 A one-string guitar.

00:26 I don't usually play a one-string guitar.

00:29 But today I'm playing a one-string guitar.

00:33 Oh, they have a variety of styles.

00:37 Flying V.

00:40 The guitar.

00:52 [playing guitar]

00:57 Should I learn a song?

01:00 Okay, okay.

01:04 There's "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

01:10 I'll close my eyes.

01:12 Okay, maybe this.

01:15 [playing guitar]

01:19 [playing guitar]

01:22 I feel like I always knew I wanted to pursue music

01:34 from a young age.

01:36 The people around me, like my family,

01:41 definitely had an influence on me.

01:43 But I feel like I'm happy

01:46 that I was shown music at a young age,

01:49 so I was able to know what I wanted from such a young age,

01:53 'cause it's kind of relieving in a sense.

01:56 Some of my biggest music influences

02:00 are Dominic Fike,

02:03 Tom DeLon,

02:08 Machine Gun Kelly.

02:11 Those are some of my biggest ones.

02:14 Working with Machine Gun Kelly was amazing,

02:18 and it was very impactful for my career

02:21 because it was like kind of my first release--

02:25 it was my first release--

02:27 and my first, like, kind of time putting anything out.

02:33 And having him as someone who is behind the track

02:37 was very helpful and honestly super-duper inspiring.

02:41 And I'm always forever grateful.

02:45 My next item is my phone.

02:52 And I decided to bring my phone

02:55 because I use it on a daily basis,

02:58 and I feel like we all use our phones.

03:01 And my phone's a little bit special

03:03 in a sense that it's really cracked,

03:06 and my phone case is really messed up,

03:08 and, like, all the rubber is gone,

03:11 and it's kind of like my own fidget toy

03:15 because I just sit there and pick at the rubber like that all day,

03:20 so you can see all around.

03:22 Another fun thing I like to do with my phone is this,

03:26 'cause it has the MagSafe thing.

03:29 Anyways, also texting, calling,

03:36 all those things I do on my phone,

03:38 so important item in my life.

03:43 My song "Friends You're X" is my debut single,

03:47 and it was inspired by my life.

03:50 And a lot of the songs that I--

03:53 a lot of the subjects I tend to write about

03:56 are girls, heartbreaks, all that stuff,

03:59 and I never really thought of writing something about me

04:04 that was authentic to my life and my stories,

04:07 and I feel like that was the first time

04:12 I kind of took a shot at it,

04:14 and I really like how it came out.

04:16 And go check it out if you haven't heard it,

04:18 "Friends You're X."

04:20 If I had to bring one album to a desert island,

04:27 I would probably bring either tickets to my downfall

04:33 or "Sunburn" by Dominic Fike,

04:36 because I've probably listened to those albums

04:39 way too many times.

04:40 My next item is my day-to-day jewelry.

04:45 Here is one of the pieces that I wear a lot.

04:51 It's like a chain wallet, but there's no wallet.

04:55 And I really like it.

04:56 I feel like it's like--adds a lot of, like,

05:01 flair to an outfit.

05:03 Like, just even if I'm wearing, like, a pair of Dickies,

05:05 you could throw this on,

05:06 and it makes it look a little bit nicer.

05:08 And I really, really like how this--

05:11 like, the design of it.

05:12 There's, like, little crosses in it,

05:14 and then there's little, like, crosses in here.

05:17 I like all the little details on it.

05:19 And it's honestly just super universal

05:21 and goes with every fit.

05:22 So if you need something to spice up your fits,

05:26 you should get one of these.

05:27 You can get them anywhere.

05:28 Just look up "chain wallet,"

05:30 and you can get one that attaches to your wallet.

05:32 I have one of those, too.

05:34 My next jewelry piece is this bracelet.

05:42 I just wear this bracelet all the time.

05:44 And honestly, all my jewelry that I wear,

05:48 I never take it off.

05:49 So, like, these are my, like, main three

05:53 kind of hand jewelry and wrist jewelry.

05:59 But, yeah.

06:00 So this is just, like, a little pinky ring.

06:02 This is, like, a mouth ring.

06:04 And then I have two necklaces over here, too,

06:09 that I never take off.

06:10 I'm weird about my jewelry, and I'm super, like--

06:13 I don't like to either take it off,

06:15 and I don't like putting new jewelry on.

06:17 So I kind of just stick with the ones I have,

06:20 because I have really bad OCD,

06:21 and I feel like it'll throw my life off

06:24 if I take it off or put something new on.

06:26 So I always wear these ones.

06:29 And then this-- same with this right here.

06:33 I'll wear this one a lot, too.

06:35 But those are my jewelry pieces that I wear a lot.

06:38 One thing about this bracelet

06:42 that I personally don't like,

06:44 but you guys might like it,

06:46 is every single time that I, like, am playing video games,

06:49 it'll, like, hit the desk,

06:52 and I'll wake up like that,

06:53 and it gets really annoying.

06:55 But for the purpose of ASMR,

06:58 maybe you guys might like this.

07:01 These chains don't really make much noise,

07:06 but besides this, really,

07:09 I feel like that's all we're gonna get out of these ones,

07:12 'cause they're kind of dainty.

07:14 Um...

07:19 Yeah, I'd probably want to switch lives with Harry Potter

07:22 and check it out.

07:23 But then again, do I want to switch lives with Harry Potter?

07:26 'Cause I also feel like Harry Potter

07:28 was going through a hell of shit.

07:30 Like, you gotta watch out for, like, Dementors,

07:32 Voldemort, all that shit.

07:34 So I feel like-- I don't know.

07:36 But there is a show that I've been watching

07:40 called "The Last Man on Earth,"

07:42 and I'd like to be the last man on Earth for, like, a few days.

07:46 And then everybody comes back,

07:48 so I could just do everything I've always wanted to do.

07:52 Best self-love advice for myself is, um...

07:56 taking care of yourself in a sense of working out

07:59 and feeling confident.

08:01 I feel like if you work out

08:03 and you start to feel more confident, that's great.

08:06 And same with-- I suffer with, like, acne.

08:09 So same for me.

08:10 It's like, uh, making sure I do, like, my skin care

08:14 and having those skin care days,

08:16 because I feel really down when my skin's broken out

08:19 and all messed up.

08:20 So I feel like for self-love, I kind of like to work out

08:23 and just be on top of my skin care

08:25 so I could feel confident.

08:26 Thank you for coming to my mind massage.

08:28 Make sure to check out my single friend, Xerox.
