Bright Eyes

—Nothing Gets Crossed Out

Bright Eyes : Nothing Gets Crossed Out

(Hey there. You know who you are. This is that song I had mentioned.) 

I found this song on a mix tape that I had made back in high school. I think back then I had a tendency to assume that I could appreciate the emotional impact of certain songs just based on the fact that I saw myself as a “sensitive, artistic type”. 

I recently (within the last month) found that mix tape, and gave this song a listen. It’s amazing what 10 years and whole lot of life experience can do to a person’s perception of emotional impact, because it absolutely floored me. 

I could go on and on about how, as a struggling musician in my late twenties, the lyrics aren’t only relate-able, but specifically cutting and direct… but I wouldn’t want to remove any meaning from it for anyone else who would benefit from relating it their own experiences. 

Worth a listen. Or twenty.
