tbh the song is so long that if it was a slow burn i'd be okay with having it play out to the end even if the death was tragic, also not that it could happen but my death would ideally be in slow motion, therefore this song is perfect
i was listening to this song on soundcloud and reading the comments and one of them said ‘god i want this to be played at my funeral’. since then i haven’t felt the same whenever i listen to it. maybe it’s because the lyrics are what i’m scared the end will be like, or because it’s slow enough that i won’t be rushing through all the memories.
i wrote a substack post about this. cos i can never shut up lol.
I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
