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.

Listen with caution !!!!!
Good Woman — Cat Power : literally devastating
Nothing Compares 2 U — Sinéad O’Connor : a classic
You Could Be Happy — Snow Patrol : I don’t listen to Snow Patrol / this sort of music that often but I think break ups give you such a free pass to lean into the cringe. My ex sent me this song when we broke up in year 10 and I’ve never forgotten it!
You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are — Keaton Henson : screaming crying throwing up
I Need My Girl — The National : see above
The Blowers Daughter — Damien Rice : I think this one is only sad to me because once I had a break up and watched Closer like every day for a week
The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot — Brand New : Jesse Lacey is obvs cancelled but I give myself a free pass sometimes. Verryyyyy self loathing but sometimes u need that itch scratched
The District Sleeps Alone Tonight — The Postal Service : mopey man but a fun sound still
You’re Losing Me — Taylor Swift : obviously Taylor had a million break up songs but I think this is her best
Supercut — Lorde : in my head I do everything right is so sad but also this song makes me listen to Green Light immediately after and then I think of Jess and Nick in New Girl which reminds me true love is possible

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

Picked up ‘This Could Be Texas’ by English Teacher in June on vinyl, being home has meant a couple proper listens. Lily Fontaine has gotta be one of my favourite songwriters recently! Big feelings of heartbreak and heartache as she writes on her relationship with her home. In ‘Sideboob’, the landscape is this intimate moment, its kind of timid and precious, shared so deeply with the writer. “I’m your Boulsworth baby, You’re a giant to me“ really stuck out - when you’re walking somewhere so familiar it feels as if you are moulded to the environment - it’s yours, and the relationship is yours, and really no one else could understand that. But at the same time you’re just a moving part, a cog, a morning after. It’s good to feel that tenderness but its also good to be cautious of it, our hometowns are so easy to sink into it is hard to detach from everything. That’s what I love about English Teacher! They are all encompassing but still remain cautious of blindsiding nostalgia. The past is the past yet the environments you used to know will always be there, if YOU want to love them!

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
