I've never heard a song explain so beautifully and gently the fear of being a mother while also sympathizing with their future child and mom for hurting them in the past. this is truly an insanely beautiful song💗

[sophiataavao]

really embodies the fear of motherhood and the loss of oneself to the title of ‘mother’

[ferozaghiasy]

"Reaper"

It's nice to hear your voice again
I pushed you so far down and I let you sink through the drain
There's a claw on my shoulder
And she's saying the obvious
"You know eventually you're gonna have to be a provider, too"

She's coming closer, I can feel her breathe
I keep forgetting that I'll have a family
If I listen in, with my hands cupped and on my knees
I can hear the single obnoxious sigh of relief

I'm born to be somebody then somebody comes from me
I'll tell you about the Rabbit Moon and when to keep walking
I'll spare you pain, I can feel my shame come through that door
I can't fuck it up if it's not there at all

I'm born to be somebody then somebody comes from me
I'll show you where I did swim team and drive to Dunwoody
I'll spare you pain, I can feel my shame creep through that floor
I can't fuck it up if it's not there at all
I can't fuck it up if it's not there at all

Bambi was like fancy jazz club vibe and this is like holding your head back on the back of a truck while driving through Missouri with wind blowing on your face

[Dinasaurous]

Probably my favorite song on the album, honestly I’m a person who barely pays much attention to lyrics but with Clairo’s songs I always pay attention to the words and the words in this song how they’re linked to motherhood just make me feel so many things, I love this song so much. Edit: I think my scrobbles for this song reached 400, I listened to this song 400 times and I’m still always in awe; usually I get a couple of months where I have it on repeat then I take a break so I could enjoy it all over again after a few months

[acandycrushsagajourney]

this whole album could fit into life is strange soundtracks omg

[prettynderanged]

I didn’t know clairo was dropping something ! What a pleasant suprise lmao

[micaela]

the production in this album is just beautiful and perfect

[graciegolden]

clairo has never made bad music prove me wrong

[biadelisia]

this is gonna be my comfort music from now on

[ma_zdr]

it's so relaxing listening to this melody

[biadelisia]

i feel like i'm floating with the melody

[sumgpein]

"its nice to hear your voice again"

[kimberlypacheco]

I love how many ppl say they love the song and haven’t even heard all of it😭😭😭

[djjdjdj]

"I can't f#ck it up if it's not there at all" is genius. Hopefully I can be as talented as you one day.
