Last week, I woke up to this song on my dash. It was poetry set to music, such that the gorgeous strings arrangement was merely present as emotional punctuation, and I sat transfixed like a pinned butterfly. Not just over the idea of reincarnation, because honestly that's been done to death. No, more the idea of people we would reach for across space and time, even if everything went to hell in this life. That we would recognize them no matter how we reconstructed our lives and decide, even knowing how it ended up the last time around! the getting there was so worth it we'll try again. 'I can't imagine you without the same smile in your eyes. there is something about you I will always recognize'. and in the knowing it will be worth it. No matter how many hours of tales they have to recount about hummingbirds and scorpions and mountain retreats. Fuck I was in tears in the best way, and then I needed to know who all these artists were! (Because I'm late to all the good parties.) And that they're a queer supergroup, with this wonderful catalogue both together and apart is such an unmitigated joy. I'm savoring it in tiny precious ambrosia sips.
