A Few of Your Own by Noah Kahan is THE bloodymary song.
Heres some lyrics and my reasonings:
"And I felt the spiral of the earth when you finally called me yours
Ain't it strange how you saw me gettin' dressed in the hallway?
You could tell I was fallin', or escapin' from somethin'
You didn't say a single word, you didn't see me as a curse"
Grace seeing Simon acting sort of odd/struggling but not calling him out on it. YOU DIDN'T SEE ME AS A CURSE is so SO Simon.
"The state of the summer blends us in with each other
We would pray for more thunder for a night under cover
We were huddlin' like mice, below an unforgivin' sky"
This just sorta has vauge we are both struggling together against an 'unforgiving sky' which is ... them to me. I cannot elaborate further.
"Too old for both of us to keep howlin' at the moon
To be cross-eyed drunk this young in the afternoon
Two souls in one truck, and no money left to lose"
Both not children but not yet old enough to die having 'lived a full life'. Love these two adult men (absolutely NOT old man yaoi) WITH NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE!!!!
"Oh, my, my, what a time to be alive"
Young and dumb on the edge of the world
Oh, good Lord, what it means to be alone"
"what a time to be alive" they both notably enjoy being alive (now as I write this I am noticing that most people want to be alive, but you know what I mean, both medias have very strong themes about wanting to be alive/survive/not wanting to die/willing to do anything to survive.)
On the edge of the world? Them.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALONE. Also them.
"Once all the rain stopped, I was afraid you might wake up
And remember who I am, and remember what I've done
Didn't ask me to justify, you just sat up and rubbed your eyes
I grew up with a feelin' that what's good must be fleetin'
That if I'm happy, I'm dreamin', then I'm prepared for you leavin'
But I see that shitty beat-up car, oh baby, there you are"
"Remember who I am, and remember what I've done." Is literally like, so applicable to his experiences and regrets about his actions.
Being scared when things are good because you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Expecting something to happen because something always happens. But still feeling such care and softness for the other person. AGH!
"Tell me, love, if the devil ever comes
To make good on the debts that I owe
Wish me well, tell the stories I would tell
Go ahead, make a few of your own
A few of your own, a few of your own"
When he has to pay for his actions. He hopes they are remembered for having fun together, and he hope they get to have fun even after he's gone."
This song is just really pretty and I noticed how many lines fit sooo well with Bloodymarys dynamics and also themes of their respective movies.
