+ there's people crying out for a change to season

kid cornered - letterhead.
songs don't have to scream at you to command your attention. in fact i find the most insistent ones are those that come to you in moments of quiet time, when the mind has a chance to collect its thoughts and the body regains composure. and so very subtlely, a song slips in your head and you find yourself singing along, wondering where the chorus comes from and why you've assumed the backing vocals instead. i can't actually write about this song when listening to it, because i have to stop and just listen, paying careful attention for the pauses betweens a single pluck of the strings or a gentle tap on the skins, not wanting to miss a precious second. there's a lot of space in the song, on this record in fact, that leaves you with an incredible yearning desire. the only thing to do is hit repeat until sated, which i do so gladly
