Song #60: Jimmy Eat World - Let It Happen (off Chase This Light - 2007)
I sometimes feel like I should just post a song without any kind of explanation; just let the song speak for itself and let my few readers guess why I posted it. If ever I were to do that, it would be today with this song. That’s not the point of this tumblog, though.
Instead of trying to describe the weird headspace I’m in right now (I’m choosing to blame hormones), I’m going to go off on a semi-related tangent.
I had a habit in high school of collecting friends who were academically inclined, emotionally immature (and/or borderline crazy), and nontraditionally gorgeous. I’ve never really grown out of this, despite being burned again and again. I have, however, gotten better at handling situations in which I’ve messed it all up and knowing when a friendship is worth fighting for.
Jimmy Eat World will always remind me of the friends I don’t talk to anymore; the ones who’ve deleted me from facebook or won’t acknowledge me if we’re in the same bar. Jimmy Eat World’s music also reminds me not to let it happen again.
Ha ha haha ha ha ha ha ha…
