Okay so a little bit of backstory is needed:
I'm half white and half Chinese, and I was born in Shanghai back in 2007, when there weren't very many black people in China, and I had never really met anyone who wasn't white or Chinese until I moved to America at the age of two. However, my parents DID watch the news, where soon-to-be president Barack Obama was constantly getting air-time, more than enough for him to be seared into baby me's mind.
When I was about one, my parents decided that we would fly to America for Thanksgiving so my dad could see his family and I could meet my grandparents. This was my first time leaving China, and on the plane, I got super excited because I thought I saw the newly elected president of the United States, Barack Obama, sitting a few aisles away from me. I screamed out Obama's name a few times, trying to get his attention.
Except, of course, it wasn't Obama πππ It was just some random black guy, and I had never known anyone outside of my race before besides seeing Obama on the TV. Thankfully, the guy was chill about it, and gave me a fist bump! My parents still tell me this story all the time (I do, too).

The originals good but the The Raincoats cover is soooo good it's crazy... Also the Michael Cera Palin version of if it makes you happy is amazing and seeing it live in 2022 when they were opening for Weatherday was crazy even though I didn't know who they were yet!

Honestly, this entire album has strong fall vibes (itβs my favorite album ever and I highly recommend it!) but this song in particular is just sooooo fall to me. https://youtu.be/Y6Ll9qHcQ08?si=roEUfEmGWWPeEZ_N
