I think my nostalgia isn't healthy anymore. 2014 is in my head all the time. I think that I lived for this year only and all the other years are just years before and after 2014. Feels like 2014 is the main year of my life and its pretty sad but brutally beautiful at the same time. That's nostalgia. It's like a siren, lying to you telling you it was better than it ever even was. And I can't do anything about it. And one song always triggers this 2014 emotions inside of me. It's a song also from Banks. It's called change. When I listen to this song I feel sunlight and water and just smell the air of 2014. 2014 is like a lost fairy tale in a parallel dream universe. But it all actually happened. There was magic in the air and am I the only one who noticed it? I sang pretty when you cry when I was under the shower. I put some potato slices on my bread. My grandmother used to listen to this brazil music and my dreams where weird and beautiful. I went to a new school and fell in love. Everything was beautiful in the mess of my life. I love the universe and am thankful for this experience. Thank you Banks. Your music let's me rewind it. Your music let's me stuck in 2014.
This was so bittersweet to read, I know exactly how you’re feeling. It’s so sweet yet so painful when you can’t let go of this weird crippling nostalgia.
"It’s gonna take a minute to unfold The way that I’ve been feelings overtold Telling me why you left and then complain you’re alone and I don’t know why But babe it was something bout the way you loved me Now I don’t know Now I don’t know me anymore" brb I'm gonna cry
[Verse 1] I wanna meet tomorrow Yesterday made me a fool today I tried my best to follow But you're moving too fast on your daddy long legs You say I'm destined to live in stories I can't let go of 2008 You say my nostalgia grows when I don't even know That the way you're proposin' to say my name [Chorus] Oh, oh (Oh), oh, oh (Oh), oh, oh (Oh) I gotta let you go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm letting you know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I gotta let you go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Baby, now I know [Verse 2] You think about our ending I think about when I met you though Dad says I'm just pretending Said that I'm just scared that I'll end up alone I walked around Hawaiian mazes I didn't care I forgot my bra 'Cause the dragon teeth ain't worried about letting go Of the tightness I hold on the rope like a soldier [Chorus] Oh, oh (Oh), oh, oh (Oh), oh, oh (Oh) I gotta let you go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'm letting you know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I gotta let you go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Baby, now I know [Verse 3] I make myself believe that I can go That we've been up and over, then below For heaven's sake, would you leave? Shut the door Let me go, let you know why It's gonna take a minute to unfold The way that I've been feeling's overtold Telling me why you left and then complain you're alone And I don't know why But, babe, it was something 'bout the way you loved me Yeah, now I don't know, now I don't know me anymore I'm letting go and you don't have to tell me twice And you should know, I never needed your advice I should've known back then, now I know it's right [Bridge] Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh [Chorus] I gotta let you go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I gotta let you go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I gotta let you go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I gotta let you go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I can already tell people are going to sleep on this gem. The keys. The strings. Throwback vibe. The melody. The yearning in her voice. I think this is the biggest departure from her sound along with Alaska. Anyway, mama fed the FUCK out of us 😭
2:25 I always tear up because it’s just such an emotion I can relate to. When you loose a loved one and you loose a bit of yourself in the process.. ♥️ fave song in the album
Corie Johnson exactly; indie r&b is it’s own lane; I heard the potential in her voice since goddess;and of u like Banks you should check out this girl named iylana she nice w/it too; I wish indie r&b could be more mainstream but it’s low key for a reason lol
Banks be killing her flows and this is coming from a black dude that mainly listens to Rap but I appreciate her sound its otherworldly, I would sell my soul to hear her and Alina Baraz on a few tracks
I love coming to the comment section of Banks' songs cuz I always find people that feel the same about the song and describe what I'm feeling perfectly with words I am not able to find myself.. And somehow, I am amazed how a person can make a song, and someone else hears or feels the same thing as me and it somehow makes me feel less alone and connected to this world :) thanks everyone for sharing your comments 💖 thanks Banks..for creating 💖
without paying attention to the lyrics, i felt nostalgia through the song's production. a producer that can replicate emotions onto beats and melodies >>>>
THIS SHOULD HAVE MORE VIEWS!!!! One of my favorite songs on this album, and one I clicked with INSTANTLY (the rest of the album grew on me tho) it’s jus such a chill vibey song 💀😫
i love listening to sawzall, look what you're doing to me, and this in order i just like how those 3 songs + stroke kinda transition into different vibes at the end
Are we the same person girl?!?! I swear you're writing my life... And it hurts... But you make the hurt beautiful... How are you doing this?? I'm in love 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
It’s like sis knows when to drop new relatable music 💕🥺 I’m listening to these songs in order & ohhhhhhh my heart strings are being pulled left & right !!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Om fucking ggggggggg wow, I’m in love. I’ve loved your music forever!!!! Also I love that your visuals represents chapters of this project. Songs with a similar vibe have the same visuals, genius
You think about our ending I think about when I met you though Dad says I’m just pretending Said that I’m just scared that I’ll end up alone I walked around the Hawaiian mazes I didn’t care I forgot my bra Cuz the dragon teeth ain’t worried about letting go of the tightness I hold on the rope like a soldier This might be my favorite Banks track man... why is she so on my heartstrings always? Lyrically just immense.
Lyrics: I wanna meet tomorrow Yesterday made me a fool today I tried my best to follow But you moving too fast on ya daddy long legs You say I'm destined to live in stories I can't let go 2008 You say my nostalgia grows when I don't even know That the way you're proposing to say my name I gotta let you go I'm letting you know I gotta let you go Baby now I know You think about our ending I think about when I met you though Dad says I'm just pretending Said that I'm just scared that I'll end up alone I walked around the Hawaiian mazes I didn't care I forgot my bra 'Cause the dragon teeth ain't worried About letting go of the tightness I hold on the rope like a soldier I gotta let you go I'm letting you know I gotta let you go Baby now I know I make myself believe that I can go 'Cause we been up and over then below For heaven sake Would you leave Shut the door Let me go Let you know why It's gonna take a minute to unfold The way that I've been feelings overtold Telling me why you left and then complain you're alone and I don't know why But babe it was something bout the way you loved me Now I don't know Now I don't know me anymore I'm letting go And you don't have to tell me twice And you should know I never needed your advice I shoulda known back then Now I know it's right I gotta let you go I gotta let you go I gotta let you go I gotta let you go
