about

a song about how my friends help me feel real.

lyrics

sometimes my fingertips arent good enough
textures feel better when i brush em against my lips
and i prefer my tea in the summer
in air conned rooms where the heat always escapes me
i think i see the world a little differently
train tracks & jet packs are the soundtrack of my dreams
i’m a little too affected by what i see on tv
my friends hang on my wall to remind me
that i
am a subject of humanity
a chapter of reality
and i’m still tryna wrap my head around it

i’ve told my friends i dont think i’ll make it to 30
i’m not suicidal i just dont think it exists
i have a problem where if i cant imagine it i wont do it
and sorry mum but i cant imagine having kids
oh i think i see things differently
the best thing about that kiss was the look on his face
and the best wine i’ve ever had was a four dollar bottle of gossips
but i play board games with my friends and they remind me that i
am subject to them loving me
am a chapter in our legacy
and i’m still tryna wrap my head around it

i dont know why people live
and at this point i’m too scared to ask
too many nights thinking about death
i hope this feeling doesnt last
i dont know why people live
and at this point i’m too scared to ask
too many nights staring at the ceiling
i hope this feeling doesnt last

This album is pretty much filled to the brim with incredible songwriting. It's really good at being good when I'm in any mood. I especially love Outworn and 3am At A Party Georgia Marley

Don't Let The Kids Win (AU)

This is a perfect album. An incredible introduction to one of my most inspired-by songwriters, and truly beautiful craft in the musicality of it all. I love Hay Plain especially, that bridge? UGH Georgia Marley

Beware of the Dogs
by Stella Donnelly

I would die for Stella, and this album is so so so good. Also super influential in terms of me finding my own style and learning the different ways music can sound. Die and Mosquito are my standouts. Georgia Marley
