The Record - Tumblr Posts

having a rough week. thinking about how Lucy Dacus said that she meant to deliver the message that “one day at a time was the right place to aim” through her song ‘Please Stay’. she said when her friends were struggling with suicidal thoughts, she wanted to provide them a way back into life. thinking about how Julien Baker said in an interview that her reason for staying alive was to show other people that there’s a reason to stay alive. thinking about how she once wrote the lyrics “god I want to go home” and then later wrote the lyrics “I changed my mind, I wanted to stay”. thinking about how Phoebe Bridgers said that her song ‘Garden Song’ explores believing that good things are coming for yourself and is about choosing to entertain hopeful thoughts rather than dwelling on your bad ones. thinking about how if Julien Baker had taken her life, then I would not have mine today. something about the nature of hope and survival. something about how much I love these boys and how many times they’ve saved me.

God I love them so much it is actually, truly, physically painful. I don’t even know how to put into words how deeply their music as well as them as people have touched my life and my heart. Sold out Madison Square Garden and everything else they’ve achieved this year, it is too much for my heart. I am so happy for them. This look on Julien’s face makes me want to rejoice (yes reference to her solo music) because she went from singing songs about being suicidal to selling out shows and celebrating queerness with her best friends and audiences of people who adore her. No one I know deserves that more than her, and I cannot even describe how much it fills my heart up to watch it all happen for her.

i need context of what the heck is happening in this photo

Not Strong Enough by boygenius is so James code, I really don't know how to explain it, and Regulus is Satanist.

the parallel in kyoto and cool about it is devastating

“i wanted to see the world from your eyes until it happened, then i changed my mind”

and

“once i took your medication to know what it’s like, now i have to act like i can’t read your mind”

it’s like she wants me to breakdown

I love these lyrics so much 😭 they are so special to eachother
