We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain
We jumped, never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell
A love no one could deny
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can’t live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you’re not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we’re ashes on the ground
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can’t live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should’ve let you in
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should’ve let you in
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me

Hi there~
#20 - Three songs that remind you of the person who sends this one
I wanted to use other pieces this time, but some songs just stick to you like Bobby and a quivering flarmp! 😎
You don't have to send songs back! Just lean back and enjoy, maybe with a nice slice of cheese? 😏
and one (maybe not so tiny) bonus?
Don't have to send songs back?
Don't have to send songs back??
TRY AND FUCKING STOP ME.
If you think I am done, then you are WRONG!
For Nosy:
For Bobby: (❗️🎧❗️MDNI❗️🎧❗️)
And that fateful Sinful Sunday. As tempting as it is to post the whole Handbasket playlist, I shall refrain.
However, this weekend a new song earned its rightful place amongst the honoured and revered, and the humble fruit bowl is forever ruined.
For our Gremliest shaved Kiwi.(❗️🎧❗️MDNI❗️🎧❗️)

The Callback:
The Reference:
The Original:
What's really gut-wrenching to me is that the video for "Used To Be Young" is not only a reference to Sinead O'Connor's iconic "Nothing Compares To You" video, it's also a callback to the first time Miley referenced that same video in the two videos she did for "Wrecking Ball"..and thus to the very time period in Miley's life she's singing about in "Used To Be Young."
What's wild is that people do indeed call back to that time now as if they miss that version of Miley and prefer it, when in the moment, she was endlessly criticized for her behavior and image and compared negatively to her childhood self.
Sinead herself even wrote an open letter to Miley around that time, cautioning her about how the music industry would exploit her desire for freedom and self-expression to degrade and fetishize her if she wasn't careful. (I had mixed feelings about that letter at the time, as a 24-year-old eager to be a little wild myself, but in hindsight it just makes me unspeakably sad.)
So seeing this visual callback to both Sinead who inspired her and cared enough to warn her, and her own younger self who would sadly find out how right Sinead was, adds a layer to this video that aches like a fresh bruise.
