Hey guys,
Closer by the Chainsmokers is sort of like my comfort song. Whenever I don't have music playing, it's usually the song my brain goes to and I get stuck on one lyric every time "Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you, I drank too much and that's an issue, but I'm okay." Sometimes I go past that, but it just keeps me calm and reminds me that I was doing fine before I met someone and I'll be fine if they leave, I just keep moving and trudging along. I love this song and it just reminds me of when my brother was in High School and simpler days. I also love the switching vocals and I like that we get both perspectives since a lot of songs are only about the one perspective. I really like this song because it calms me - probably some sort of comfort song but I don't know the exact name for it, so it's just my song. It reminds me that there is so much more to life and the "we ain't ever getting older" reminds me that sometimes you get stuck in the past, it's okay to be childlike, but don't get stuck in the past. This song just reminds me of so many things and those lyrics have always stood out to me and I don't know why, but I'd like to learn why and do a deep dive into that eventually. Maybe it's just the fact that he became an alcoholic as a coping mechanism, while porn and music has always been my coping mechanisms. I'm trying to eliminate one and tone down the other because there's so much more to life than those two things and I think that music has been holding me back from working through some things unfortunately (even though I love it). But I'm getting Closer (haha see what I did there?) to finding answers to myself and discovering more about myself. I want to learn and I'm willing to sacrifice so many things to do so. Closer will probably always be my safe song just because of it's emotional attachment to me (I have a few other "safe" songs, like Waving Through a Window, but this is the one that came back to me yesterday when I was away from music for a bit). Let's continue to grow together and I hope that I make you guys proud.
