It’s about anxiety and feeling like you can’t… you know, when you can’t get a full breath? It’s like the worst feeling in the whole world. It’s a song about that feeling. I was having lots of [anxiety attacks around the time I recorded this song]. We were in the studio, we were writing and I was like, “Ugh, I can’t breathe.” And they were like, “We’re going to write this song.” And I was like, “Okay, I still can’t breathe, but we’ll write it.”
My brother was diagnosed with depression years before I was, and because of that he started therapy years before I did.
I still remember when I was a young teen and he was playing a Nirvana song and he stopped it at this one line: “I miss the comfort of being sad”
He told me that when you start to get better, there’s a part of you that misses being sad and that if you start feeling that way you have to be extra extra aware and careful because if you indulge the feeling you’ll go down a self-destructive spiral
And even though that was years and years ago, I think about it all the time. Especially when I’m reading discourse on the idea of getting so attached to mental illness as an identity that you don’t want to improve things because you feel safe in it and don’t know who you are without it
I always think of that line “I miss the comfort of being sad” and my brother’s warning
Photographer Francois Brunelle has been working on an amazing project; searching for people who look strikingly similar but have no relation to each other. These are some of this incredible finds.

Shoutout to Francois for making complete strangers full on stroke each others’ faces for art what a power move
bring this back and suddenly capitalists don’t wanna go to war no more
Bring this back bc tbh its just common sense. If you truly think war is the best and only way to solve a dispute, then you must be willing to die for that cause.
