#Real Thing !!

[drbrevity]

worked ourselves to the bone in our 20s, thinking we were laying the foundation for something stable. some kind of adulthood that looked like our parents’: house, family, maybe a garden and a dog.

but now we’re in our 30s, and instead of stability, we’ve got anxiety about buying a house, fear about starting a family, and a savings account that’s quietly preparing for something—but we don’t even know what’s coming. just… saving. because something always is.

so we buy the things we wanted as kids. a gameboy we never owned. a CD of that one band that got us through middle school. we’re not trying to be childish—we’re trying to heal. trying to give our younger selves the joy we put off for later. but later turned out to be full of bills and burnout.

we used to chase degrees like they were keys to freedom. but now? we just want our time back. we just want rest. we want slow mornings and soft evenings and to not feel guilty for existing without producing.

it’s not that we gave up.

we just got tired of running toward a dream that kept moving the finish line.

Song Review: Drugdealer and Weyes Blood - “Real Thing”

With downcast verses that sound like Tapestry outtakes and upbeat choruses marred with disco strings, “Real Thing” is the latest, almost-awesome song from on-again, off-again collaborators Drugdealer and Weyes Blood.

You came in hot/like a dream that you soon forgot/and you left me high and dry to watch it crumble/happened fast/like our world had to tumble and crash/seasons change and your love didn’t last, the pure-as-honey Blood sings before the strings pop up and the song turns to good love and mush.

So alternates the uptempo, straight-from-the-1970s pop song until … it goes out on a left-field, acoustic-guitar-and-saxophone coda.

Listening to “Real Thing,” one can almost picture Drugdealer and Blood overthinking their work. It’s catchy as hell and in ways, quite lovely; the thing is, it coulda been so much more had less gone into the “Thing.”

Grade card: Drugdealer and Weyes Blood - “Real Thing” - C+

I grew up believing in rules—following them, respecting them, living by them. I thought they were the foundation of fairness, the path to success, the structure that held the world together.

But as I got older, I saw the cracks. I realized that many of those rules weren’t universal. They didn’t apply to everyone—only to those who weren’t in power. The ones who made the rules often broke them with no consequence. The ones who benefitted from them enforced them selectively.

It’s disheartening to discover that doing the “right thing” doesn’t always lead to fairness, that integrity can be overshadowed by influence, and that systems can be rigged from the inside.

Still, I haven’t stopped believing in principles. But now, I choose to live by values, not just rules—because integrity should be internal, not imposed.

Just wondering...

... if Trailer and Lorry should talk about cassettes. Is it old enough? Are people out there who don't know what a cassette is?

They were important in the eighties in the life of a trucker…
