whatisup1111 I love how sparse the whole record is, the space / air in it feels expansive and comforting… the songs lead from one to the next as natural as breath. Stripey is my new cleaning-the-apartment anthem sooo good Favorite track: Stripey.

surrealice Ragu really killed it! these songs talk to so many important and sweet parts of me and it feels so good! Library Return and Construction Site are so delicately balanced and the story that Ragu is the protagonist of sits right in the sweet spot! Will listen while journalling and leaving my homes. Favorite track: Library Return.

Going Away 02:21
tangled up in unsteady embrace we talk about going away droopy eyes and a heavy chest putting my patience to the test wasn't the best idea the days make a week and i hold on i hold tight till it's all gone gotta act before it fades and we talk about going away and i'm ok

i think i found it that old construction site the house that's on it now i can't be sure though cuz i never know where anything went down it must be unrecognizable now if it's even the house unrecognizable unrecognize unrecognize unrecognize i think i lost 'em those tender feelings for the me who loved all that that me was stupid that me knew nothing more that me knew nothing less she must be unrecognizable now if she's even around unrecognizable unrecognize unrecognize unrecognize

returning the library book today i'm afraid i'll forget everything you said it was nice while you were living in my brain but now you're slippin away, you're slippin away, you're slipping you're my favorite protagonist i've ever encountered you're living in me, you're living in me, you're still living in me the words never meant anything when anyone said them so how come now they mean everything they mean

Protagonist 03:04
you were so mean and i was so nice at least i tell myself you're always wrong i just want to be right i would never ever ever ever ask for help i would never ever ever ask for help i wanted to fight but (we never fought) we never did that it was kinda boring I just wanted to be (everything you were not) to be the protagonist of the story you're doing well and i wish that i cared but i can't cuz it makes me sick to think about that, you don't think about that it's just me who'd be taking the hit i'd be taking it i wanted to fight but (we never fought) we never did that it was kinda boring I just wanted to be (everything) to be the protagonist of the story
