I feel sick from the butcher’s smell and the thought of not doing well. I feel scared by how much I dwell on the possibility of my ill health. ‘Because girls get their hearts broken and make mixtapes about it, too’*.
All those records I love that send me a shiver; ‘the royal, the throne, the cry me a river’**. The absence, the grief, the unfamiliarity, the dirt on your knees, the “Woah, take it easy”.

In a more perfect world, this band would blaring out of every radio on Earth. The lyrics, the vocals, the just-outta-teens snark and earnestness... so much to love. paulimboden
