Talvez minha letra favorita sobre ter 22 escrita pelo demonio himself Conor Oberst:
And the world's got me dizzy again; You'd think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place; So I'm always pacing around or walking away
I keep drinking the ink from my pen; And I'm balancing history books up on my head
But it all boils down to one quoteable phrase: "If you love something give it away"

one of the most underrappreciated songwriters. Conor sometimes gets looped in with a lot of bullshit that sounds nothing like his music, but came out around the same time as his 2000s Bright Eyes albums (and sometimes shared a fanbase w Bright Eyes). he’s up there with Bob Dylan and Elliott Smith in my book, and genuinely one of the best songwriters ever.

Ok first of all incredible thread
a Lot of brand new lyrics stuck with me maybe bc of formative years etc but:
If somehow I was new and everything was unsaid
I'd go and buy a hammer, never sing again
Fleetwood Mac silver springs:
I'll follow you down til' the sound of my voice will haunt you
Give me just a chance
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you
Pink Floyd: We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year
Lala lala: You think I'm good so I'm almost done wanting
I'm suddenly full this is belonging
I've had too much fun when will it get taken

worst year of my life
lost friend groups, relationships, and everything. But I’ve been young! I’m just only 19
“Chalk it up to them
misunderstanding what I said
Making up the rules to win a game inside my head
I think I'm growin' up, but nah, if I'm growin'
I'm just growing old
Hanging on to every grudge I think I need to hold
Can't remember who I'm even fighting anymore
You'd think I'd know my way by now
But now I’m lost and now I can’t be found
But I’ve been wrong
But I’ve been young
Wrong enough to say I’m sorry
Owning up to things I can’t undo”

Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days
Her tears fell on her pages
Found me well on her words
I don't know what to do or say
Wading through warm canals and pools clear blue
The Tuscarawas flowed into the Great Lakes
Riding back where the highway met dead tracks
The ground is now cement and glass, so far away
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
Green, green youth: what about the sweetness we knew?
What about what's good, what's true from those days?
(Can't count to all the lovers I've burnt through
So why do I still burn for you? I can't say
Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days) BEST VERSE EVER
Children blessed, gather 'round the home she rests
So pull and go over there Midwest, moon and sun
Flashes bringing on my open eyes to lightning storm
The touch of mist felt soft, felt warm on my face
Gray, vague dreams, a million miles ago, you seem
A star that I just don't see anymore
Words long gone, lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices are heard along the way
(Sorry for never going by your door
Never feeling love like that anymore) ahhhh

2017, New York, I was invited to a track-by-track celebration of Carly Rae Jepsen's EMOTION, where each writer was assigned one song to give a presentation on. I wanted "Warm Blood" but picked too late and got "Your Type," and made a presentation on my phone on the plane, but this was the only slide, and I read a long thing about desire, and about that thin veil between realizing you like someone and realizing you LIKE someone, about falling in love with friends, about being platonically in love with friends, about treating platonic love with the same generosity and rigor as romantic love. But mostly about the bravery of Big Declarations Of Emotion. Because of the nature of the party, and the fact that this photo has circulated for years without context, I think it has led to more Big Declarations Of Emotion than anything, and I don't mind that, I suppose. I still get people, to this day, telling me they were at this event or they've seen this photo and that they were inspired to tell someone they were in love with them. It feels especially exciting to share this year, in a year where I've gotten to be the most excited witness to my friends and their fluorescent joys. Marriages, new houses, new kids, their bravery and openness with the world. Being an audience to that makes me bold in my capacity for love, for care. We ascend to better versions of ourselves through our love for each other, and that is romance. The best kind. The results are sometimes mixed, I've heard. They always are. If you told a friend you love them and things got weird, I apologize. but to be fair, I wanted Warm Blood. As I say every year, there are so many ways to fall for someone. If you are at the edge of the cliff anyway, consider taking the leap. The ground might be soft enough to hold you and whatever comes next, and if it isn't there will always be more clifts, more edges.
