I often think about how my ex and I decided this one was our song, only to find out Billy Corgan said "this is a song about the moon, it can never be for the one you love" after me and them broke up. Beautiful ode to the feeling of love nonetheless

This whole album is full of sparse and emotional piano-driven gems, which allows Spencer Krug's (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Swan Lake) brittle poetry to really shine through.
This song is steeped in sadness, and to me really just epitomizes the full breakdown of love. The sort that not only destroys a relationship, but also eviscerates your image of self, but also how you interact with your physical reality, and necessitates some introspection and growth in order to pick up the pieces.
Love is sort of like light. It needs darkness in order to exist and be appreciated, and I don't think you can really appreciate the highs of the feeling until you've sunk to the depths of its absence. In fact, I think the absence is still love. Love can have a negative or a positive existence, but it's all love, and all part of celebrating the human experience.
(There's also a full-band version of this song that is equally good, but in a different ways)

"I like you," he told me on a starry night in Mexico. "And I think we'd be great together. Until we go home."
I went back to my hotel room, too overwhelmed by the idea that a man would be interested in me, even if just for two weeks. I took my phone out on the balcony and listened to Affair with the Moon by Lidia Solomon on repeat.
The whole thing between him and me ended in disaster, but for a brief moment, anything seemed possible, like the beginning of a fairytale. Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed at night, by big thoughts and bigger feelings, I open my window and listen to Affair with the Moon. And for a brief, melancholic moment, anything will seem possible again.

few things hurt as beautifully as this song
this album in general came at a critical time in my life where i was breaking up with the old version of myself while also processing two breakups - years apart - that i hadn't dealt with.
other noteworthy breakup tracks: sepsis, sober together
