The night we met — lord huron (with phoebe bridgers for extra sad)

Only recently realized that the song isn’t about him wishing he could go back to the night they met to start over, but instead so that he avoid meeting her at all. Brutal. I think there’s a part of a heartbreak that goes through the “maybe we could have made it work” bit, and then sometimes that leads into the “I wish I never met them” bit. Maybe it’s because you genuinely do dislike them, or maybe it’s just that the pain of losing them was too much to bear.

A seven hour breakup-a-thon: “love is a battlefield“

Some great music here. I tried to avoid most of the obvious/cliches. Feedback from the brokenhearted, welcome. thematichopscotch approved!

Older + Walk Me Home — Searows We’re In Love — boygenius The Night We Met — Lord Huron & Phoebe Bridgers State Lines — Novo Amor Jacob and the Stone — Emile Mosseri I think I tear up whenever music has a connection to heartbreak or loss or resentment. It’s weird (and beautiful) to know we get to partake in someone’s process of healing through a song they shared. It’s a brief moment of connection across the universe.

Pure colour, sheila heti

Captures something essential about grief: the longing to cram your entire body into a small space and stay there until a lover pulls you out. I tried reading it almost two years ago and had to stop because it made me so mad. Now I think it’s brilliant and the thing that made me mad the first time is the most important thing in the book. Heti is best Canadian writer since Munro and will go down as the best ever if she keeps batting this high.
