The way I listened to peach when I first got into tfb vs how i listen to it now is so different and sums up exactly how my feelings about liking this band have changed. Back then I always thought about the nightmare of an online friendship I had just gotten out of whenever I listened to the song cause what I heard was a one sided obsession, but now ever since I got my best friend into tfb and it's become Our Thing, my entire interpretation of it has changed. Cause fuck man he IS the reason I'm smiling when there is nothing to smile about. The feeling I used to get from listening to any song by these guys was a sense of dread from being stuck with someone who's terrible to me but now it reminds me of the most wonderful person in my life and I don't think any song describes that better than peach

i promise you that i didn't wait this long to respond to this because i forgot. i have been having my own battle with peach for a while, ever since the breakup, and i wasn't ready to discuss my take quite yet.

trigger warning for abuse and food insecurity.

peach was a song that i had a very personal connection to with my ex. the first tfb show i ever went to, we stood there in the venue, and me, not knowing the lyrics or what was coming, was completely oblivious. i was very new to the fandom. my ex turned around and sung "you are the reason i'm smiling when there is nothing to smile about" to me, staring me in the eyes with all the love in the world. it changed something for me.

that christmas, i got him a custom made hand-bound leather photo album with those lyrics engraved into the leather, and filled it with photos of our adventures together. i left space open to fill with our future.

my ex and i were together during what i would argue was the roughest period of my life to date. we were in college for part of it, he was living in my apartment, then i was evicted, and we moved out and dropped out of school together. we were so horribly poor. i was working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week to support us, and i was eating one meal every 3 days to conserve food. (he was not working at the time.)

my ex also emotionally and physically abused me. i believe if it weren't for my being isolated from everyone else at the time, i probably would have had the sense to leave a lot earlier. because truly, there was nothing to smile about. i was miserable. everything was bad. so i smiled about him. even though i hated him so much for so long, and he treated me like shit, i smiled about him. he was all i had. none of our friends lived within an hour of us, and i worked nights, so i spent a lot of my time alone. during the few good times we had, i would let that fuel me. that song was our song.

my love for talon as a whole is not a secret. i have been trying to learn how to let that pain go, because i don't want it to taint an album that i enjoy listening to so much on loop. i have the same problem with everything i own, because he loved that song so much, which is incredibly ironic for a guy who absolutely refused to even let me use my wheelchair, let alone push it. i'm still filled with a sense of rage when listening to all of rose, his url was based on it, some of his favorite songs were on it, we went to the 10 year anniversary tour together. i'm still healing from all that. i hate that my favorite album and ep are adulterated by his influence.

so yeah. i have some animosity towards peach and those lyrics in particular that i am doing my best to cope with.

And you are the reason I'm smiling, when there is nothing to smile about.
