Only recently realized that the song isn’t about him wishing he could go back to the night they met to start over, but instead so that he avoid meeting her at all. Brutal. I think there’s a part of a heartbreak that goes through the “maybe we could have made it work” bit, and then sometimes that leads into the “I wish I never met them” bit. Maybe it’s because you genuinely do dislike them, or maybe it’s just that the pain of losing them was too much to bear.

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.

sometimes a song is good because it's about being super evil and selfish and wanting to the point of isolation so that you can never truly get what you want

My favorite song in recent memory.
One I wish I knew about when I went through either of my two breakups.
They both (one more than the other, but both) catalyzed periods of emotional instability, but, crucially, no homicide.
Still, I imagine that anyone who has had their heart broken knows that the song I Am Coming to Paris (To Kill You) is not about going to Paris to kill somebody. It’s about something much worse.

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!
