Novascotia.
You know when you feel something mellow, happy, or anything at all, and then you put it into words? Somehow, even years later, those same words can bring you right back to the exact feeling you had when you first wrote them.
Sometimes it's cringey, sometimes it's more dramatic than you remember, but you know the feeling was real back then. Life goes on, we move on and we all know that. But somehow, rereading those old words lets us validate the feelings we once carried.
Maybe that's what I love about Taylor Swift's lyric writing. It's relatable even when you've never experienced anything similar. She captures emotions so well that they feel familiar, whether the story is hers, someone else's, or even entirely imagined.
And then there's Faiz Novascotia. I used to follow him on twitter. Back then, I knew about his relationship with this super cool girl (at least from what he tweeted about her). She could change a tire by herself, which I thought was incredibly cool. At the same time, she looked like a queen: perfect hair, perfect nails, effortlessly beautiful.
I also knew that they’re “different”. That's too much information, I know hahaha. But back then, I remember hoping I could be friends with him and quietly praying that things would work out between them, iykwim.
Life goes on and then one day I heard a Reality Club song and thought:
Damn.
I thought they were still together.
I can't truly understand what you're feeling today. But thank you for sacrificing a piece of your privacy hehehe, for being so pure in everything you wrote and making good songs out of it.
Best of luck for “Novascotia”.
