#cannot be whatsoever

when taylor swift said “i was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere” and when samia said “we’re in a tin box and i’ve got a toothpick, and i have been poking the air” and when novo amor said “for the record, i made my hell; it went on and on, i let it bloom” and when mitski said “i always thought the choice was mine, and i was right, but i just chose wrong” and when dodie said “i used to smile at every star and thank the sky; now i look up to all the duds and wonder why i feel like all of them are gone” and when phoebe bridgers said “i don’t know what i want until i fuck it up”

I LOVEEEE when songs from artists I love come out near a really specific and well defined event and then I listen to the song on loop throughout the event and then I can NEVER listen to it again without thinking of it. my oldest friend got married the day after cannot be, whatsoever was released and I looped first place while I worked on bridesmaid shit that entire goddamn weekend and so the first notes of that song, and some of the background instrumentals later on, elicit such a strong, indescribable feeling. and I would not have it any other way
