Tbh I don’t listen to him much, I loved the song he made for invincible tho I listened to that all the time. After hearing what he did I found out about the Celeste song and I actually love it so much and I feel guilty for like enjoying the song 🥲 and like , ok this is gonna sound weird but bare with me, for some reason when listening to the song like it made it seem so romantic to me like to my brain. But I’d also be like what the fuck why do I think it’s romantic that’s so weird of me. (1/2)
Yea people keep saying they’re listening to it and it just doesn’t feel the same to them after everything coming out. But it still felt like romantic music to me, and thinking about everything that happened just made me think maybe I’m just a very gullible person 💀 but listening to it more just makes me feel so deeply sad for that poor girl. He absolutely deserves whatever’s coming for him for taking advantage of her like that.
But the whole story also just kinda leaves me in shock because it seems like like bookish or TVish like a story. I’ve also been in situations where I was groomed at 12 years old so it just really made me take a step back and think like wow something like that could’ve happened to me if no one stepped in
I agree it sounds romantic. But we also gotta be more aware of why dangerous, obsessive behaviors are considered romantic in our culture. Like possession and fear of a person leaving is more often sung about than wanting to care for a person or wanting them to be happy no matter where they’re at, you know? This event has got me paying more attention to songwriters.
