Oh, the loveliness of Perfume Genius! It’s so bizarre to see he’s come so far since his debut, in fact, no, since before his debut, when he didn’t have a name or an album and people thought his music had been put out on the internet post-mortem.
I love this song, it’s so heartbreaking. I guess a lot of it is about trust and all the space there is between people, even when you think there is none. The video kind of hit me in the face the first time, and even though it’s quirky and frightening alike, I find myself playing it over and over again, mesmerized by the facial expressions and the lipstick, thinking of a 2012 Antony Hegarty. This is when it’s really okay to cry during a song. I just wish it was a little bit longer.
