#there's a long line of mourners coming down our street; their fancy cars are such a sight to see

[septembersghost]

fwiw I would read your essay on the Memphis album ☺

😭 thank you honey, it's worth a lot

#i probably won't ever share it because it feels silly and emotional and nobody needs to see that #idk if it's an essay as much as it is a collection of thoughts about #the themes of the songs and the way it's structured and contrasts with the sonic styles and so on because it's got a lot of layers #opening with: i had to leave town for a little while... #the specific way he transforms only the strong survive #long black limousine being the first track recorded which. i. #such a powerhouse of a song but i cannot HEAR #there's a long line of mourners coming down our street; their fancy cars are such a sight to see #they're all of your rich friends that knew you in the city and now they finally brought you home to me #without crying #and conjuring up specific images of a procession of cars #it just makes my heart hurt so much. but still i listen #i'll never love another! oh my heart all my dreams ride with you in that long black limousine #that record is everything i love it so immensely #i'm giving him a grammy for aoty retroactively btw #again. i need a tag for these posts so you all don't have to be subject to them. the el files. #the fact that true love travels on a gravel road and any day now and gentle on my mind #and in the ghetto and power of my love and i'm movin' on and----all of them exist on the same record #(and TECHNICALLY suspicious minds and kentucky rain. insane) #the tracklist on the physical and on streaming are different but it's mind-blowing what came out of those sessions #revelatory and beautiful and sometimes so sad it's eerie #see? writing this out coherently would be too much probably #anonymous #letterbox
