i know that this song is sad, but itās absolutely beautiful and i donāt think anything could be done to make it any better than its studio release. thom yorke is singing about obsession of someone that doesnāt even notice them. every set of lyrics is devastatingly creative and raw to where you can hear every element of the piece at once. iāve always especially loved āiām a moth who just wants to share your light/iām just an insect trying to get out of the nightā just before the song hits you with the intensity that sounds just like the feeling of truly needing somebody else. always been a die-hard fan of this song as well as the rest of the album, will never skip a single track

if u want to feel like ur in a heartbreaking coming of age movieā¦this is the perfect ep for it. nearly two years later i still canāt get over it. apparently this is NOT a common thought but i asked a friend recently leading up to recommending this ādo you ever hear a song or watch something and think ādamn i wish i made thatā?ā and they said neverā¦and completely threw off my entire pointā¦ANYWAYS thatās exactly how i feel every time i listen to this ep. favorite song changes with every listen. james ivy i think you are so cool.

i know it's august, but it's so easy for me to slip into a gloomy fall mood any time of year and as such, i've had this song on repeat.
i'm a big sucker for strong lyricism and this song is no exception. the fact that she takes you on this journey about the death of a relationship she's in by literally opening the song with "Pull the plug in September, I don't wanna die in June" is so poignant yet beautiful.
ALSO, the gunshot right after she says "I'll hang on 'til the chaos is through" is perfectly incorporated and really the cherry on top given the subject matter of the song.
if you're looking to feel the sonic embodiment of a lonesome autumn in the form of a song, give this track a listen.

surprisingly one of my favorite natalie portman movies! it did well in box office but i feel like itās overlooked enough to be in this. centers around a professional hitman who takes in a 12 year old girl after her family is killed by a corrupt DEA agent. itās pretty cute

i love the original but buckley has such a beautiful voice, his cover is so raw and gutwrenching especially knowing his story. so sad but he brings this song a whole new life
