Hang Tight, Hero — Bones Like Snowflakes

No words can fully say how much I love this song. I couldn’t really articulate why when I listened to it a few times. But I get it now.

I’m a person susceptible to feeling lonely, sometimes for no real reason at all. And this song just makes me feel like that’s O.K. There is no judgment, no rousing speech to inspire me to feel better. It’s just comforting, and welcoming, and it just tells me that it’s O.K. to feel sad sometimes. It’s not a hug or a kiss. It’s a pat on the back, a small smile, a held hand, and it’s a wonder to me how a song without words can make me feel like everything will, in fact, be just fine.

“Pudge, what you must understand about me is that I am a deeply unhappy person.”

(A link to their EP, Rewriting Icarus, on Bandcamp, if you are so inclined. This song is just really something else.)
