Obviously the fact that boygenius has been nominated for seven Grammys is maybe one of the most exciting things in the world to me rn just because!!!! The fact that a group of queer women were nominated for them following a tour that was essentially one long expression of queer love and queer joy in a relatively unconventional way though is probably the most special thing ever to me and something I expect to hold on to for my whole life.
little oblivions is the album, the only album ever actually, it and b-sides fuck so hard and are so under appreciated in the boygenius canon, like
oh, I miss when I was certain // about every little thing // so scared of forgetting // that I put it down in ink // used to call upon the spirit // now I think heaven lets it ring // wanted so bad to be good // but there's no such thing
or
swallow the truth // force the charcoal down my throat // when i finally come to // maybe i’ll have something to show
or
all my greatest fears turned out to be the gift of prophecy // all my nightmares coming true come do my outline in the street // while every night i re-enact the same recurring dream // i’m stuck inside a vision that repeats
or
how come it's so much easier // with anything less than human? // letting yourself be tender // well, you couldn't make me do it // it doesn't feel too bad, but it // doesn't feel too good, either // just like a nicotine patch, it // hardly works, then it's over
or
oh, i miss it high // how it dulled the terror and the beauty // now i see everything in startling intensity
i am not exaggerating when i say this album saved my life, it deserves so much more respect
hey fellas is it gay to write 8 pages about her in your journal, come to the conclusion that maybe for a day u need to take some space for your own sake but now you’re going to go see Boygenius last minute with them.
boygenius besties who are going to concerts... concept. what if we made friendship bracelets like how people have been doing for taylor swifts concerts. just a thought just an idea.. anyone ?
Moment of appreciation for phoebe and julien’s friendship because (at least from my perspective) it gets sidelined a bit in favour of Lucy & Julien which I think is a shame because they have such a genuine and sweet relationship <3
i really didn’t film much at all during the sets as i wanted to properly experience it and not be on my phone the whole time (plus the boys esp phoebe has said they hate it when the whole crowd is on their phones when they are singing personal songs!)
phoebe kept looking at us constantly and really really interacting with me and my friends (i think because we were SO into the music and the only ones not on our phones filming at barricade!)
absolutely sobbed my heart out to Graceland Too and had to be held tightly by my friend😭
i had the best time EVER and im so glad i flew from scotland to ireland for this show!!
