a song from 2015
Added 2023-12-24 01:29:54 +0000 UTCit's almost a common occurrence at this point. i'll be digging through old hard drives on the hunt for something in particular, only to stumble across an old gem that never got it's chance to shine.
i remember this song vividly, i might have even played it once or twice during an old radio broadcast. but this recording i know never saw the light of day. the song is called "you look like me" and it's a very touching acoustic song about my first gay crush in high school.
looking back on old recordings like this is such a whirlwind for me. art is so special for that reason. these are such old emotions and still, as i sat there typing the lyrics i found myself getting teary eyed thinking about how beautiful it is to care about another person. to be in love. to be confused. i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
ahh, forgive me. i'm still recovering from being sick and it's got me in a very introspective and grateful headspace. does that ever happen to you after being sick?
enjoy the song and have a great night.
LYRICS:
there's dark on our bodies so slow down
you rest your head on my shoulder
which was nice
i wouldn't want our first time
to be something you regret
or hide
if you tell your mom
i'd tell my dad
i don't think he'd react
i don't think it'd be that bad
when you'd spend the night
and share jordan's bed
and you'd close your eyes
was i in your head?
if there was a cure
(as if religion could fix us now)
i bet it would hurt
(and if there was a god
i think it'd want me to know
how soft your arms are)
but i never thought that we could be
anywhere that they could see
you look like me
