Since we loving and appreciating INTHAF today, here are some things I’ve noticed:

The lyrics don’t talk about one linear story but moments when those feelings are evoked

The first part introduces those feelings (sharing gloves, playing video games, passing notes)

The second part finds them again much later in the beginnings of love (the nerve to touch my hand which ties back to the gloves, twenty questions which ties back to video games, conversation which ties back to notes), this person stirs feelings just as pure and true as the ones found in the innocent discoveries of childhood

The change from snow to a clear light pink sky shows the change in time and both literal and metaphorical season

The third part realizes these feelings in true love (sidewalk chalk covered in snow and rice on the ground looks like snow)

True love brings back the whimsy and sweetness we thought could only be found in childhood :’)

The simplicity of the writing and music are genius bc they reiterate those points as well as emphasize how simple true love is at its core (a theme found throughout Lover in general)

This is so amazing, thank you for putting so much thought into the lyrics and imagery- I love how creative and observant and introspective this is and honestly I didn’t know if it’s nice to have a friend would ever get a full in depth analysis when I wrote it because it’s so simple, but it sure is *nice* of you 😊

This song gave me so much Björk in Sugarcubes “birthday” vibes. Can’t explain (especially not so accurately) why, it’s more vibes than anything else.

What makes succeeding in the music biz hard is you need two different skill sets: becoming vulnerable enough to write songs that cut deep, and the detachment required to effectively promote it.

Doing one is hard. Doing both well is exceptionally rare. Having the energy to want to do it and an audience that cares, exponentially more so.

There is a word for blocking the most successful artist in the world we have right now for the permission to do this, and that is blackmail.

I’m disgusted with the two Scotts.

don’t know why it took me so long to finish reading, but so glad I just did.
