WE ARE SO BACK

[tillxthexearthxstartsxtoxcrumble]

As some people who have been following me or known me for awhile on here, I had a big shock yesterday. One of my favorite bands decided to leave for their own peace of mind.

I would like to say it now that I fully support Patty and I have nothing but love and respect for him. When I needed someone most, this band was here- literally. The night IWTHAB came out was one of the worst of my life and let me tell you, that album helped.

I found the band As It Is later than most people but they helped me more than some. They were part of my url for awhile on here, and they were my everything for a good 2-3 years. I was fortunate enough to see them live when Ali was still a part of the band and they were amazing, one of the best concerts I've seen.

It's hard to quite put in words what this loss is doing to me, because I knew it was coming. Nothing good lasts forever and I hope Patty finds a better place to be creative; whether he decides to share that with the public or not.

I met Patty, Ali, and Ronnie. All of them. I won a contest and got to video chat them. Ronnie and Ali were the only ones there, but they were some of the sweetest people ever. Ali was very soft spoken and funny, but Ronnie really took charge and made a connection with everyone so easily. But then I met Patty after the concert I had. Determined to meet him at least once, I waited till after the show.

Patty took a photo with me then went to the other people- he didn't seem at all bothered to be taking extra time to talk with the fans and he was so gentle with all of them. After he was done with the rest of the fans, I was still there because I simply couldn't leave, and I got to talk to him for a bit. When I tell you he was one of the nicest people I've ever met that isn't even an exaggeration. He was so kind and patient while I was stumbling over words, and while we didn't hug because of covid restrictions at the time- I left feeling completely satisfied and happy.

How do I say goodbye to something that was once a best friend? Even still, I'm their #2 top listener on Spotify and they take up space on the walls of my room. I think it's time to realize in my life that just because someone isn't always there doesn't quite mean they're gone. So farewell to As It Is, a best friend of mine. I'll see you guys around <3

With the new Ben and Patty collab, I am once again thinking about my undying love for The Great Depression. Truly the album of all time. No one can ever touch how fantastic that album was. Who was doing it like them?

[loverslibraries]

the band as it is is so insane because they had a god tier 3 album run and then they lost a band member and started making tiktok music. wtf happened

As It Is // Concrete

[emilyblame]

"I've learned to love myself a lot. For a long time, I really kicked my ass about not being strong in every area of the industry. You'll see frontpeople and musicians who can do the thing and get the job done. But they can also run a clothing brand or manage other bands. I'm simply not that person. My thing is only being good at the songwriting stuff. So, I'm going to have fun with it. I'm going to explore and try new and weird things." — Patty Walters.

*ೃ༄ tottenham 2 - 1 man city .ೃ࿐

post match reaction:

ೄྀ࿐ overall performance ˊˎ-

“yeah, it was important. obviously in the cup competition, you have to win to continue it, so that’s the first thing. you’re playing against an unbelievable side and they’re going to ask you all sorts of questions and they did today. i thought we defended well because we didn’t really give away too many clear cut opportunities, but we did have to defend. in our attacking moments we had some really top quality moments, we had some really good chances to finish the game off which we didn’t take. but great resilience by the boys to hold out, and as i said when you play city they’re going to ask you every question there is and for the most part i thought we handled it okay.”

ೄྀ࿐ timo werner goal ˊˎ-

“great move for the first goal, it was great for timo [werner] to finish, obviously he’s been going through a tough time. i think with attacking players it weighs on them when they don’t score or don’t finish stuff off, so for him to score tonight- an important moment for us in the game, it was great and hopefully that helps him to kick on.”

ೄྀ࿐ pape matar sarr goal ˊˎ-

“he’s done well for us in terms of goal output, when he’s played he’s made an impact for us. it was a well worked attacking piece for us, but it was a hell of a strike. you need to have quality to score against city in those moments and both goals were outstanding moments for us”

ೄྀ࿐ injuries (van de ven, romero, werner) ˊˎ-

“obviously micky [van de ven] felt something in his hamstring, i haven’t got the full update on him but he definitely felt something, so we’ll see how he is.”

“cuti [romero] was a bit tired and i was planning on changing him at half time, obviously losing micky as well i didn’t want to lose another centre half. he said felt okay but my gut was telling me there was no point taking the risk, we had ben [davies] who could come on.”

“timo [werner] was just, i think he hasn’t played a lot so it was more fatigue hopefully than anything else.”

ೄྀ࿐ pape matar sarr substitution ˊˎ-

“he’d been booked, and i just thought the way the game was going, i didn’t want to take a risk there. i thought biss [bissouma] would help us in our build up, it got a bit sticky for us at the backend of the first half, playing out, and i thought having biss and rodri [bentancur] in there would give us more of a foothold, trying to play out from the back. i think it helped us in the second half. it was tactical more than anything else.”

ೄྀ࿐ carabao cup ˊˎ-

“there was always an opportunity if you keep winning. there’s still some decent teams in there, we’re only at the quarter final stage. for us what’s important is, we’re in it, and as long as we stay in it then we’ve got a chance.”
