I’ve loved this song since I was a little kid. it made me feel seen and still does. It’s more through the lens of younger masculinity/boyhood but I really recommend to listen to the whole song. The ending always gets me when she’s speaking to her boyfriend at the end and how he was always a little girl.

Back towards the end of pregnancy with my son, there were a couple of songs that stuck with me that I decided were songs that he liked from within the womb. This was one of those songs. I still have never listened to another song by this band, but I sing it to him every night.
It is not really a love song, definitely not a song for a child, but it is one of my songs for him. I had a two day labor with him, it was a very long and intense experience. It’s hard to describe the mixture of sleeplessness, hormones, drugs, and absolute beyond anything I’ve ever felt love I was experiencing. I hear this song and I’m just taken back to those middle of the night wakings, walking around with him, so utterly in love.

a technical non-answer, as i’m not sure if it’s the BEST song ever, but moreso, likely my favorite.
my dad used to make custom mixtapes on cds while i was growing up to play for different occasions. i had a ‘going to sleep’ mixtape, a ‘ride to the bus stop’ mixtape, a ’roadtrip’ mixtape, all of it.
love her was on one of the tapes and i had liked the song a lot but it wasn’t one that i remembered and streamed in my teen years. but then, it randomly appeared on spotify radio. i heard it and started crying. it brought back so many good memories but also sounded like the first listen all over again. so i started playing it: over, and over, and over. and it still hasn’t gotten old.
my top streamed song by a longshot

my mom raised me as a young single mom in the 90s and thusly we shared her music taste. i remember thinking this song was the most beautiful song in the world. we had an old VW Golf with a cd player and The Colour And The Shape was always in there. whenever "Monkey Wrench" inevitably came on the radio, i'd ask my mom if we could listen to "the short song on the cd" which is what i called "Doll". over 25 years later i am still head over heels in love with this song/album, it's a total comfort for me.

and wonder why the hell they asked you to hang out? Like I just hung out with someone and they looked at their phone half the time and then asked me the most minimal stuff ever and then after 45 mins said “I have to go!” Like, damn girl you beat me to it

I was so tired and could barely stay awake for my friends DJ set but it ended up being really good and I’m so proud of them :)

isn't it crazy how when you get a drink in this cup it tastes 100% better than any other type of drinking vessel? You can have the same diet coke or whatever but if it comes in this cup it's going to be much more crisper and tasty. Shout out the Cambro 2000P156 much love
