Laughing and dancing after a breakup
Italian-American shoegaze band Heimat has another excellent single written about that most classic of red flags: an ex who didn’t like mustard. This might seem like a ridiculous hot take, but if someone doesn’t like mustard and they aren’t, like, allergic to it, break up with them.
This is the song you put on when you’re energized by how angry you are at, well, whoever it is that’s earned your fury. Morgan’s vocals deliver this sarcastic melody that makes it clear how very done we are with whoever this 5 foot 9 plain sandwich eating weirdo was.
Would you like me if I changed my hair?
Or if I pretend not to care?
Let’s not pretend that we’ll make it till the end.
You don’t wanna hold my hand, anyway.
Let not pretend, we both know you’re not the man.
You never stood at my defense anyway
The textures here are varied and dance-inducing, a song built for getting up and shaking things off. Maybe we were crying in the bathroom all last night, maybe we’ve shaved our head, but the sun is bright out today and, well, damn, wouldn’t it be nice to go somewhere for lunch?
This song is that feeling.
