if I could inject Demae’s ethereal voice into my veins I would. the heartbreak, the yearning, the vulnerability and the acceptance of all the emotions expressed in 16 minutes is very important to me!!
i know it's august, but it's so easy for me to slip into a gloomy fall mood any time of year and as such, i've had this song on repeat.
i'm a big sucker for strong lyricism and this song is no exception. the fact that she takes you on this journey about the death of a relationship she's in by literally opening the song with "Pull the plug in September, I don't wanna die in June" is so poignant yet beautiful.
ALSO, the gunshot right after she says "I'll hang on 'til the chaos is through" is beautifully incorporated and really the cherry on top given the subject matter of the song.
if you're looking to feel the sonic embodiment of a lonesome autumn in the form of a song, give this track a listen.
found myself slightly malnourished, annoyed, in my luteal phase and wanting to die in the same way dramatic tumblrized tweenagers “want to die” this morning. regrettably/embarassingly moped around the house like this for hours until i finally decided to put down my phone and put on good old lenny cohen - sitting on my couch & listening to so long marianne felt like returning to church as a previous non-believer. very Steven Yeun in that one beef scene. Yes I cried. Yes I loved. music is so wow ❤️
