Viva la Lili

most people can’t say they’ve made an appearance in their favorite band’s music video, but i can say i’ve made several! this band is so special to me. and so is this song. i can’t believe my lucky streak continued–i’ve always felt major nostalgia for the tiny shows at clubs and bars i never got to attend when no one knew who they were, but my wish came true recently at an intimate (basically) album release show. and i’ll get to relive it forever when they release the footage from that show.

So much time on the other side waiting for you to wake up. Maybe I’ll see you in another life if this one wasn’t enough

How big, how blue, how beautiful.

Reminiscing the immense joy and peace I felt a few months ago on a perfectly warm summer evening during a scenic walk from the Jason Isbell concert at Pier 17 by the Brooklyn Bridge. I ran into the Mister Softee truck and ate the most delicious chocolate-sprinkles-covered soft serve ice cream I’ve ever had while walking to the train to pick up 2 slices of Joe’s Pizza that I ate on the rooftop while on FaceTime with my sister. I took a warm shower, did my whole skincare routine, cracked a window slightly open, and left a nature show muted on the tv as I fell asleep to the soundtrack of New York.

Years, days. Makes no difference to me. You could pop up on my phone out of the blue and that soft spot will still be there for you just the same.

I wish I could bend space and time.

I’ve meant every word I’ve ever said. 

[lilicouture]

I really hoped I would miss you a lot less by now but it feels like more than I did just a couple of months ago. Idiot.

[lilicouture]

between you and me, I thought it would all last a little while longer

[lilicouture]

Persist and resist the temptation to ask you

if one thing had been different, would everything be different today?

[lilicouture]

Hi

Is anyone here?

[lilicouture]

Best concert of my fucking life. I can’t believe I got to experience this.

[lilicouture]

It doesn’t matter but I always miss you and I’m not sorry.

me when yet another mediocre white man with an inflated sense of self-importance starts talking

[lilicouture]

It’s just hitting me that I’m finally going to see The National for the first time! I’m so excited to hear so many of my favorites! 

Quiet Light brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. I was walking around LP and had to sit down a minute in. Frankly, it tears my heart up the same way every time I listen to it. 

[lilicouture]

I don’t know why this made me cry so much.

[lilicouture]

There's a million little battles that I'm never gonna win anyway. I'm still waiting for you every night with ticker tape.
