Oh, this is a fun one, and a perfect example of me never listening to new fucking music😂

"Never There (She Stabs)" - Strata

She stabs deep into me Am I too blind to see what this has done to me She stabs deep into me Am I too numb to feel this anymore You were the one who could save me You were the one who abandoned me

You see, when Baby Trai was young and deeply unaware of her sexuality, she was obsessed with Jennifer Garner's Elektra on a molecular level. I'm talking I loved the terrible 2003 Daredevil film, I am one of the only people on earth who saw Elektra in theaters, I owned and read the Elektra novelization and wrote the author a fan email when I was fourteen I had printed out and hung on my wall for a while*, and most importantly for this ask, I had the soundtrack.

The soundtrack that, despite it being twenty years old next year, I still listen to sometimes. My toxic trait is I cannot let go of the music of my teen years. (ask me about my emotional attachment to the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack) I have this song on one of my writing playlists, too, so it would have ended up on this list if I looped that one a few times a year. Anyway, anyone who ever feels shame about their music taste, just know that mine has not advanced one single iota from when I was thirteen.

(* The author, Yvonne Navarro, was perfectly lovely, and I'm sure I remain the only person to ever write to her in her entire career about the fucking Elektra novelization. The reason I printed out the email and had it hanging on my wall was that I mentioned I was fourteen and that I wanted to be a writer, and she replied that if I was only fourteen and writing such a well-spoken email, she could see it coming true. Yes, I keep a mental catalogue of every piece of validation I have ever received. I am nearly thirty-three and I still remember this email.)
