The Story
A memory behind the music
This is one of my favorite songs right when i was at the wits end of trying to date in San Francisco in 2014 and 2015. I'd gone on so many dates. Dated one person for a very frustrating 6 months. And then spent the rest of time wondering if i'm ever going to fall in love. And all through that weird period this song was _super_ popular. The whole album was pretty popular from what I remember. But this would comfort me when a date went well in my head and then a girl would ghost me. Or when a date would oh so obviously go badly. Like this one awkward date in Hayes Valley that just felt stilted...awkward...nothing to really talk about comfortably. The girl was cute but there was just no chemistry. So I ended the night feeling cold and dark, except for when i could listen to this on my long bike ride from Hayes Valley to Ocean Beach late at night. And I'd always listened to this song by myself, never really with my friends. Honestly i'm not sure they knew how much I loved this song. It was a song just for me.
