marxinista From the artist herself: "It’s just a feeling of loving someone so much, and yet being from completely different backgrounds and not being able to do anything about it. You watch movies where the couple loves each other so much but can’t be together because of their fate or whatever, and when I was younger I thought that was so stupid. I just thought, “They love each other, why can’t they be together? This is ridiculous.” But then as I got older, it’s like, “Oh, I see.” Sometimes life or your backgrounds just kind of get in the way, and there’s nothing you can really do about it." Freedom means a lot of things. Including: we can't do this together, so it's time to call it good.

We’re high on my friends bed back in sophomore year. I think this was my second or third time smoking actual weed and I was so high. I remembered this song from the movie Someone Great (also named after a great song shoutout LCD Soundsystem) and thought I’d impress my cooler friends with this song. They already knew it. But damn did it sound really good. Like she wrote it just so I could stare into the ceiling and imagine my own movie scene. My A24 production set in this small yet big apartment that felt more like a movie set than a home at the time. She had the most comfy bed in the world. Though the subject matter is heavy I cannot listen to the sing without feeling like I’m laying in that bed as a teenager.

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God "Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love) I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot." God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
