i’m an indie pop kid at heart. it’s a genre that is tied to so many great memories in my life, and to new experiences to come.
this is my very favourite band in the world — stars, from montreal. i’ve loved them ever since i first heard them in 2005 — a year filled with many of those great memories.
they have a new album coming out in september, and this song from it — “hold on when you get love and let go when you give it” — is not only beautiful to me but also quite uplifting. and i can certainly use as much of that as i can get. ^^
btw — best lyric: “take the weakest thing in you / and then beat the bastards with it”
