i don't know what the writer had in mind when he wrote the song, but to me, this song represents an unhealthy relationship. he recognizes that his "friend" doesn't want anything good for him, he doesn't care about him, he wants to harm him, but he accepts it. maybe because the alternative is being lonely.
Went to see them for the first time a couple weeks ago in san diego and talked to sam (im still hyped about it like that was such an amazing experience) and we talked about this song and i asked why i couldnt listen to it anywhere like it wasnt officially released and he said (and if anyone reads this and wants the video of the end of the convo i accidentally took im gonna upload it to my channel right now along with other footage from the show) that it was just to test out a new mic but someone ripped it and put it on youtube :)
Throwback to the Christmas I spent alone on my porch listening to this song over and over. I drank two bottles of syrah and was convinced I'd always be alone. Now, 5 years later, I'm getting married to my best friend. Keep the faith, folx - things do get better.
gomi if you ever see this, i love you. you are very important to me and i will never forget you. you have a lot of purpose in your life, i can picture you listening to this song on public transportation on a rainy day missing people who you shouldn't be. -ottie
This is the kind of friendship me and my friend have. Neither of us trust each other, honestly if you asked us most of the time we'd say we hate each other. We've gotten so angry at each other. She pisses me off all the time. Yet....when we have a good talk we have a really good talk. When we agree we really agree. And when we joke we laugh until our stomachs hurt. I'd never trust her, she'd never trust me. Most of the time we hate each other. But when its good, its really good and...It feels like we'll be stuck together until the end of time.
this song is so fucking good, also idk why after listening to both for years that I'm just now realizing teen suicide and julia brown are the same people i feel so fuckin dumb LMAO
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtisdamn real. this music almost singlehandedly accompanied me through my years of depression... at least im only coming back bc im sad, not depressed. But this really is how i feel atm
why? i tried so hard, i gave so many chances, you continued to hurt me physically and mentally i wish you wanted to repair our friendship as much as i do.
anybody know the chords? the first verse starts with an E and then you remove your finger off of the 5th string, and then an A. but I am having trouble figuring out the rest?
i play it like this: D and 224432 (dont know the chord name right now) for the verses for the "i know you'd take the scissors" part, go to G and back to the verses finally for the "i know you'd poison me (...)" part i go from G to A, and repeat through the 'i see it on your skin' bits i generally close by playing the verse chords again. hope this helps, bless.
the way he put it, sam made it seem like other people leaked it. someone who worked on the song with him probably put it out, but i would assume not in a malicious way.
Elegy no I snagged this off their tumblr before it went down but nothing else. If you haven't checked out 420 love songs there's that. google "420 loves songs bandcamp" then there's Sam Ray's older projects that are available for listen on bandcamp as well. Mad Dads is a fav of mine.
Thanks for the response. Currently making a Sam Ray compilation and the only stuff left that I don't have is the Velvet Veins 2013 EP by his project Sam & Dan and the loosies and demos that were posted on the teensuicide09 and 420lovesongs Tumblr pages unfortunately :/ If ya know of anyone who may have any of that stuff then please let me know, I'd be extremely grateful.
