Realizing a song still slaps is so personal to your plot.
Maybe it aged beautifully, the lyrics hit harder than they used to,
or it still gets you shaking your hips.
(No matter what, don't forget someone might have a
polar opposite experience with something you hold so dearly.)

sometimes u go through something and then all of a sudden you relate to a song you didn't before or didn't as much as you do now. bonus points for when it's one of your favorite songs like i knew those addicting melodies and vocals were always hiding something meaningful with an air of serendipity to it ✨

that one song that just pissed you off like no matter what

Despite my best interests I will likely be an Emo Kid for the rest of my life, and this song feels like an anthem in earnest pursuit of that ideal.
This track comes from lasts year‘s “152”, the proper album since their genuinely solid 2016 album Tidal Wave (although throughout the past few years they’ve done an excellent job pushing out 20 year anniversary collections and unearthing demos to really accentuate how fucking old we’ve all gotten). With that in mind, this track really hones in on this concept of aging — hopefully gracefully — while holding onto whatever spark in your life that keeps you going. The production sounds tight and anthemic on a level not quite like the noise and angst of their old songs but hey, that’s what two decades does to a mf.
As i stumble into my 30s and perpetually see the sentiment that anyone born before 1995 should start collecting Social Security, I cannot help but resonate with this song. the subtle contrast between Lazarra’s pronunciation of “S’old” really drives this home; we refuse to admit it but we really do discard the Old for the New. It’s one of their simpler choruses, yet it says so much as the phrase shifts its context with each repetition of the phrase.
it feels honest about the passage of time yet optimistic about how that shouldn’t keep you from what makes you happy. I can’t help but sing this from the top of my lungs on every listen, even as i feel my body slowly become brittle and fatigued. But I’ll still sing.
After all,
We’re gonna get so old, either way.

Wanting to genuinely get to know someone without an agenda should be the new currency.
Thinking someone is interesting and wanting to know a bit of their story is what makes this experience human.
These types of exchanges are boosting the frequencyyyy.
Listening without biased judgement is the most compelling you can be.
I have learned I can't figure out who I am without other people.
