There’s something so poetic about telling someone they smell like home and always have and George Harrison said it to Paul McCartney

54, 55, 56 and 57 with purple for the ask game if you want 💜

Thank you!

54. An album you loved since the first time you listened to

Oh, gosh, so many, but this is a Beatles blog, so I think first and foremost, I'd probably say Help! That album's been on rotation for me since I was a kid, and I can't remember a day when I didn't love it.

55. An album you learned to love after listening to it again and again

A bit of a wildcard, maybe, but probably My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge? I was absolutely a pop punk teen, but my taste skewed more Fall Out Boy / Green Day / Paramore growing up, and My Chemical Romance often straddled harder sounds than those bands did which took me longer to really get into. It's one I really love now though.

56. A song/album/artist you wish you could forget so you could have the experience of hearing it for the first time again

This is probably a real cliche, haha, but Joni Mitchell's Blue is just such a transcendent and affecting album.

57. [Send me a color and I'll tell you the first song it reminded me of.]

I couldn't even tell you why this reminds me of the colour purple, but it does, haha. Sharon Van Etten's Ask.
