Ah let's just keep crying 😭

All roads lead to the same blocked intersection

This song is both one of the ones on the playlist Ryn and I made for our big fic for The Adventure Zone, and also that line is important in the sad hard death way

(the week or two after they died, before Get Lonely hit, that playlist was the only music I could listen to)

"I am coming home to you with my own blood in my mouth" is the runner up because Ryn associated it with Taako in that fic

And then I think I hear angels/Like marbles being thrown against a mirror

What the fuck but also it's beautiful, and honestly, just the opening chords is still like dropping directly into the depth of grief

My spouse Ryn, the late @taakovapes, introduced me to The Mountain Goats, was an enormous fan, and when they died I listened to Get Lonely for the first time, and then at least once a day for the next three months. The shorthand in our friend group for a bad grief time is "sign has been reset to [0 days since Get Lonely]"
