shes so good
if this is footage from fantasia, which i think it is, that’s amazing
cool fact: fantasia was made at the height of world war II and if you watch it in the context of that it’s a really intensely emotional experience. every single sequence is about death
So goooooooood!
Eye candy. Wonderful! :)

Okay wow I’m really excited to be releasing this song. It’s hard to explain why a song feels really personal when it’s through a Tumblr post, but this song means a lot to me. I’ve been so sad and this song has been around, and I’ve been so happy and this song has been around. It’s accumulated layers of memories because it’s been around for a long time. Releasing it feels very intimate for some reason.
I wrote a version of it on piano in 2008 when I was nineteen but then forgot about it until my friend found it on my computer a few years later.
When I first wrote it the lyrics didn’t mean that much to me, they just kind of came out. I didn’t consider it anything special — at the time I was trying to write as many songs as possible, filling hard drives with recordings just for practice. Then for a long while after that I lost confidence in my ability to write songs, and during this time my friend used “Bugs Don’t Buzz” as an example of why I had made beautiful things and shouldn’t be so hard on myself. As is so often the case when someone is trying to help you, I didn’t really listen as much as I could have!
Before Matt and I played our first show, I realized I could sing the song over a piano loop, so we played it live and it felt really good. So this is the recorded version of the song. It’s a special song to me because of everything I just explained. It feels like the act of playing it is in some small way an attempt to repay the friend who encouraged me to have confidence.
“Bugs Don’t Buzz” is on a record called Impersonator that is coming out on May 21st in North America and May 27th everywhere else.
Also!
On May 21st we are playing a record release show in New York City at Glasslands. We are really excited about it — we will have copies of the LP! If you want to come this is where you can get tickets:http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/261705?utm_medium=bks
Thanks!
Very moving, beautiful song.
I am hugely scared of so many things in life. scared of my feelings. just wish i could relax. so many demon thoughts hover my head. no beaches. no palm trees. no sun. just blah feelings that make me me want to run away and join the asylum of haunted men.
People bother me. so distant from me. I’m scared of my potential..
You are scared of me.
I’m the cat nobody wants.
My life is not bored. or uninteresting. to you (maybe it is) but not for me. mostly. my life is an explosion of thoughts, feelings that have no specific meaning or context or purpose. Sitting / lying here at home after a long day of work each day listening to the cars drive by. So busy. Then it reminds me of Cleaning. Worrying. Listening to every fellow apartment dweller. I hear it all. The door slams. Kids scream. A man yells at his girlfriend. Feet walk above my apartment unit loudly. Steps. Feet pounce above me. Toilets flush. Sometimes there are fights. and police. and all kinds of unexpected random shit.
A dog starts to bark from the balcony above. and he doesn’t stop..just keeps barking at nothing just to fucking make matters worse for me!!! He barks like he wants me to fucking go insane.
It doesn’t help that I live beside a cemetery either.
Death is all around me.
death. cars. noise. and the mall.
so much unrest in my life.
impossible to escape…
Pale pink streak sits nicely :)
I could light a smoke off that!!! ;)
