I love him so much, this is so heartbreaking.

I still listen to Carrie and Lowell straight through like once a month. This album so far is great.

The lyrics to Shit Talk are really devastating to me.

Poor bb 💔 I'm so sorry for his loss and everything that's happened to him recently. He's been through so much. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. I'm not ready for JAVELIN yet 🥺
