the loss of someone you love to suicide is so so so tough. and i am also so sorry that things right now are also so tough. i hope that music and community helps you right now as much as it can!

i also wanted to say -- the specific line of "my apartment feels haunted" resonates a lot with me. i won't trauma dump in your comments, but i had an experience of living with an ex for a few months after things started going south, and that is the BEST way to describe it.

sending you good vibes and good-sad song energy

Thanks, Grayson. I hope you’re on the other end of that now. And finally writing about both of these things in some way - very helpful

Chase, I'm so sorry for your new heartbreak. I hope TMBG and other musicians you enjoy help you get through this upheaval intact. Your writing here each week matters, and proves that the Johns' art is much more meaningful than just "nerd rock."
