"If only some people can have it, it's not happiness. It's just nonsense. Happiness is something anyone can have."
Monster / 怪物 — dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda (2023)
This is one of the most beautiful and devastating stories about queerness that relate so painfully much to me. I feel completely obliterated.
There's a world you're living in.
No one else has your part.
All God's children in the wind
take it in and blow real hard.
—There's A World, Sufjan Stevens (2023)
But here, in our place we have for the day,
can we stay a while and listen for heaven?
—Heaven, Mitski (2023)
And nothing comforts me the same
as my brave friend who says,
"I don't care if forever never comes.
'Cause I'm holding out for that teenage feeling."
—That Teenage Feeling, Neko Case (2006)
Everybody finds love
in the end.
—桜流し Sakura Nagashi, Utada Hikaru (2012)
Was it never enough that we should simply want to be together?
—Heavenly Creatures, Wolf Alice (2014)
And I've been meaning to tell you,
I think your house is haunted.
Your dad is always mad,
and that must be why.
I think you should come live with
me and we could be pirates
and you won't have to cry,
or hide in the closet.
Just like a folk song,
our love will be passed on.
—Seven, Taylor Swift (2020)
I know you're afraid of living in pain,
but you'll be okay.
We'll find out a way. Nobody to blame.
You're here and you're safe.
Whenever you need me,
I'll always be there.
—Coming Home, Isyana Sarasvati (2023)
When I die of love,
I want to be settled down into a fiery crown
amongst the flowery days.
—Flowery days, Christine and the Queens (2023)
いつか 世界は目を醒まして
Someday the world will wake up
わたしたちを照らして
and shine on us.
—Sleep Among Endives, Ichiko Aoba (2021)
Rest in liberation, Yori, Minato.
