this is very important are you a chasing cars person or the man who can't be moved person. (in other words i absolutely adore your character playlists and your narcissa black one has me frothing at the mouth)

Jesus Christ. This is like the Mortal Kombat of Irish sadrock. Okay.

When you put Gary Lightbody in a contest against someone who's not Gary Lightbody (co-author of "The Last Time" ft. Taylor Swift a.k.a. Movement 1 of the "let's ruin GT's fucking evening" Swift quartet) then there's only so many things I can say. I like the Script. But who's their Gary Lightbody? Gary fucking Lightbody? A songwriter inspired by the poetry of Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney? A professional musician who said THIS about his technical abilities?

TLDR: "Chasing Cars" made me cry when I was a teenager and watching shitty fanvids in bed. And it still hits.

#R.I.P. to Mark Sheehan though the script were a pivotal tastemaking band for me #“for the first time” also made me cry but there weren't as many fanvids for it as chasing cars. tough beat #also sorry returning to gary lightbody. i read that paragraph and laughed so hard i fucking cried #what do you MEAN you're a professional musician who can't read music #like I wouldn't shit on some local garage band or indie singer/songwriter for being self-taught that's normal #but YOU HEAD ONE OF THE BIGGEST BANDS IN THE WORLD SIR #this was acceptable at the start of your career - WHY HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED #to which his answer would probably be 'i've made it this far haven't i?' and like.#well fuck. fair enough.#EDIT: thank you very much for the compliment!! I love my narcissa playlist I'm listening to it now.
