hi, i hear the songs and...Ribs and No Choir hit hard, why did you choose those two?
they really do, right?? i think they describe me in different ways
i heard Ribs for the first time in a moment of big change in my life, leaving my parents house in a country town to live in a big city by myself, becoming an adult, despite not feeling like one. and it's being a decade now since i first felt this fear and sadness of having to be alone and fend for myself, but this song never stopped resonating with me. mourning my childhood, while at the same time realizing how much of who i am today and what i think and what i yearn for is still rooted on that kid. we have come so far and yet we never really left, you know?
No Choir is to me the song that most accurately paints the picture of what long-lasting, peaceful love feels like. it makes me feel so thankful for the people i have in my life. but the part i relate to the most is the confession about the true selfish reasons behind this search for companionship. i feel vulnerable when i'm alone, scared, i need love because i'm terrified of what would become of me without it. growing up is realizing happiness is a lot more subtle and less "adventurous" than what we idealized it would be, and there's not much to be said. things are so hard, and even if it doesn't last, i'm thankful for having it now
it amazes me how these artists are able to unravel and express such overwhelming, complex emotions using words and sounds. i'll never understand how it's done, i'm just glad they do it
