[raeiyyn]

listening to "we could still be happy" by rachael yamagata is like lying down at the seaside and letting the waves slowly engulf you

Blindin' me his song remains remindin' me he's a bandit and a heartbreaker oh, but Jesus was a crossmaker

I have wanted to do a lyrics/photos pairing for this song forever because of the immaculate 00q vibes, and there's no time like fest, I suppose! 💜

hi Lindsay! I saw that you were bored; what do you think of elephants? I think they're the cutest :)

I FREAKING LOVE ELEPHANTS!!!

People think I hate them because I'm a Democrat, but NO. Donkeys are a dumb logo. The GOP has it MADE with elephants.

I have bright pink Lilly Pulitzer shorts with white elephants all over them and they look SO cute with a strapless white top with ruffles, white wedges, and a white purse with bright pink Kendra Scott jewelry!!! I LOVE THEM SO VERY MUCH!!!

AND REAL ELEPHANTS? OMFG. The babies are ADORABLE. Even the grown up ones are adorable. And they have memories like I can only dream of.

God, elephants. They are one of the best animals. Not as good as flamingos, but definitely in the top 5!!!

Also, I learned to read when I was three, and the first book I read by myself was a book called "But No Elephants" (but the elephants were the good guys), and reading is my first love, so clearly elephants rule all.

There is also a great song called "Elephants" by Rachael Yamagata.

I THINK that's all I have to say about elephants... that's kind of probably more than you expected.

BEST QUESTION EVER.

Love her

[portmantaur]

and i, oh i

i feel that word for you

and i will because you’ve worn me down

oh, i will because you’ve worn me down

worn me down like a road

i did everything you told

worn me down to my knees

i did everything to please

but you can’t stop thinking about her

Song of the day — Letter Read by Rachael Yamagata

I’m kinda doing two songs in a row with similar themes, I’ll admit it. But god do I love Rachael Yamagata! I think this is definitely one of her more groovier songs. Essentially this song is about unreciprocated love, but more specifically about how blunt the other person was while relaying this information. This whole song she’s wondering when this person will elaborate or explain why she isn’t good enough for him. She’s essentially been driven mad, I think a similar feeling is when you go over all the possibilities of why you got rejected from your dream school. All you have is a rejection letter, but you can’t help but think WHY they chose to reject you. Am I not interesting enough? And of course, she hates the other person for doing this to her and making her spiral. As the song goes on, it gets a little less intense, like she’s finally accepting her fate. She will simply never know, and she has to accept that fact if she wants to move on.

The way she sings the last part of the song to sound so defeated is so amazing. You can tell that she sings it as if she knows that she *should* still be mad at her lover, but her heart is silently telling her to move on. Besides all that, I love singing along to this song and jamming out to those crazy ass instrumentals. Overall, it’s doubles as both an amazing song to jam out to and something you can connect to so well on an emotional level. It goes to show that a big part of that emotional connection with the singer is how realistic these emotions sound as they sing the song.

'Writing to no one Sleeping with the hours And sighing for a thousand things

So tired, ignoring your words About a new girl

Watching flirtations Whispered conversations

These Girls, they don't know How they kill me down Whenever they hold his hand And these girls I'm getting old, just by Being 'round them They're breaking the future I'll never hold again"

For my one that got away

Is it you? I keep on asking the question And it all comes back to you Who gets to say what's right? Is it you? I'm lost in this connection And I have to follow through I see the signs of warning But my heart is set on you
