Pops is the last song on Angel Olsen’s third album ‘MY WOMAN’. A heartbreaking piano ballad where she gives us the most heart wrenching vocals and is able to pull the listener into the heartbreak.

I heard this song for the first time when the album came out and a few months after I experienced heartbreak for the very first time. And ‘Pops’ was the shoulder I was able to cry on.

The silly thing was, that I was not even in a relationship. I was in love with a person that I could never be with. So when she says “I'll be the thing that lives in the dream when it's gone”. It hurt to dream because I’m my dreams I was with this person in love, together. Dreaming hurts sometimes.

It has been a full year since the last time I saw this person and I was still crying over them. I was hurting so bad that it had become kind of traumatic. Luckily, recently I got over the pain and decided to separate myself from it. After a year of trying, I felt a certain peace in my soul and in my chest.

This song is merely a reminder of all the heartbreak I went through and I like to visit it from time to time because the piano played on this track is from the heavens itself. make sure to listen to this beautiful song, reblog, and share this post!
