This song is a memory. Fuzzy. Emotional. Some parts really clear. Other parts fuzzy. That’s what this song means. Memory. We edit our memories of pain and joy to make a story. Heartbeats are the parts of memory that we remember. One night is a period of time in our life that we can sum up in one night/symbolic moment. We follow the glow of nostalgia even though it can be a painful feast. The song is basically about memory and how we can distort our memories to make them more beautiful in retrospect.

Going back to the title of the book again – ‘I Found You’. All of that happens in the past. The story is about how she found her, how she found safety, and how Katy found her memory. And now that has all happened. So the title becomes a sort of ghost that haunts the last pages of the book. It’s a clever and subtle framing of the story. It makes you think of it as a memory, a case, a story that has reached its most important point before you read the final page.

It’s also a prelude to a story that is never to be heard. It ends with the feeling still suspended. Therefore, all the meaning is in the setup. This is the first chapter of a novel that is never to be written. Our imagination wants to continue the story and answer the questions that the song poses: Does the crush go away? Does it turn into love? Is it crushed?
In activating that narrative imagination, the song could be said to plant a seed. The listener’s own experiences and hopes are then able to bring the song to the close of their choosing. In this sense, the song is never brought to a close – it is something that continues to resonate in the minds of all who hear it. In fact, its meaning is generative, in that it creates the potential for an infinite number of sequels to be played out in the imaginations of all who hear it. It’s an open-source emotional script, rather than a closed work of art.

The first thing that came to mind when seeing this image is a music video for an Industrial/Post-Punk band. Quick cuts of images showcasing the Boot, the 'Air Wair' logo prominently displayed, followed by images displaying symbols of power and those of rebellion. A crowning dynasty's symbols cracking and decaying, the assembly line of a factory producing the Boot, protests and riots with the Boot as a symbol of the rebel. It's never just a Boot in art, it's what we stand on and what we stand for. The 'hidden symbols' are simply the cultural baggage that we've assigned to the Boot over the years and interpret back through it.

I think this song is about the grandiosity of teenage despair. So, in these moments where teenagers feel like their world is falling apart, they blow things way out of proportion. This song takes that feeling seriously and amplifies it to the scope of a rock opera. Instead of just mocking the teenage preoccupation with embarrassment (like the show does, affectionately), this song gets it. The lyrics capture the way that the mere drop of a pencil feels like the catastrophic collapse of the entire universe, and makes that valid. This song is about the utmost depth of human anguish. It is the anthem of the drama happening inside the quietest kid in the world.

When I listen to ‘I Get to Love You’ by Meaghan Smith, I hear how she uses grammar to express the romance of love. Instead of ‘have to’ she uses ‘get to’ which somehow makes love seem like more of a pleasure. I especially like the spatial metaphors that describe where the two people belong to each other: ‘you’re my north and my south’, and the slow rhythms that evoke the feeling of being together and not rushing anything.
On a side note, the song smartly destroys common fairy tale cliches. There are no knights or dragons in this story. The songwriter depicts two normal people enjoying their time together in this pretty real world. “We’re a perfect mistake,” is so endearing and, to me, describes the beautiful error of a handwritten love letter inserted into the wrong book only to find its way to the proper chapter in the end.

'Gloomy Eyes' is a poetic take on the theme of loneliness and connection. Nino’s special eyes glow in the dark of his world and represent the spark of hope that even the most desperate people can hold on to. Gloria’s defiance is not simply romantic, it is radical. Her love for Nino is an act of resistance and the cartoonish nature of the characters and rough animation only serves to make their story even more immediate and real. Impressive in its shortness, it leaves you with a sense of ache for the beauty of the most imperfect of love stories – doomed to fail but so beautifully human.

This is one of those concepts from an album that has really stuck with me. I imagine that Blurifyfaces (which is what I call fans of Blurryface) will totally get where I’m going with this but to the rest of the world: I see Blurryface as the part of myself who cares way too much about what everyone else thinks of me and is afraid of being seen in its truest form. The ‘blurry’ part of the name refers to the haze of perfectionism that we put up to try to blend in with everyone else.
Fans even got the red marks from the lyrics tattooed on their bodies, singing the lines like a hymn or a therapy session. They, in their collective fanbase experience, somehow turned the singer’s personal struggles into cathartic experiences. And they’re still relatable to this day because instead of trying to conquer the darkness, the music just teaches you to dance with it. The line “My name’s Blurryface” isn’t an introductory phrase, it’s a declaration of acceptance of all the not-so-beautiful things about you.

There was an interpretation of one of my songs that really blew my mind. Apparently, the song wasn’t written by the current version of myself. No, it was written by my youth. The youth was trying to tell the current version of myself a few things: “Don’t forget how much this hurt.” “Don’t forget how hard you tried.” “Don’t become this arrogant, dismissive person and look down on this version of yourself with contempt.” That would be my interpretation of the song. Carrying the full integrity and feeling of a younger version of myself to adulthood, while remaining sensitive to that, despite it having caused me pain. The song would be a kind of guardian of memory, to prevent the adult from being contemptuous of the child that they once were. The gentle melody would just be a ghost from the past, persistently and quietly reminding me of my promise.

This song was another that I instantly Googled to see if it was written from real life experience. The lyrics of ‘I Get to Love You’ by Ruelle are so tender and so precise that it’s almost as if she’s drawing a memory from her past and locking it in a song. We have yet to hear her talk about the inspiration for this song but it clearly has to be from real life experience. The line “I get to love you” is sung repeatedly and it’s almost as if the protagonist is repeating a mantra to themselves of the way in which they feel so lucky to be able to love their other half.
It’s cool because it’s ambiguous. It doesn’t matter if it’s her story or not. Her writing of a love so pure it’s almost as if you could create a movie with this song. It makes me think of a couple’s wedding vows or even late at night when you’re awake and you can realize just how lucky you are to have that other person in your life. It’s the kind of song that is true whether it’s her story or not, which is why I think it’s an amazing piece of art.
