i wish underscores was real

[@yomulv]

dude same

[@nifty4742]

underscores the type of mf to say “you’re gonna wanna take a look at this”

[@qwert_511]

Copied from the Soundcloud description: Prologue - Character(s): Ashley The late daughter of Secretariat founder Jerry Bowman recounts the last week of her life from beyond the grave. Make of that what you will.

[@junnKhya]

Hey from the sound of the song it sounds like she was perfectly content with her life and how she turned out

[@orsomethinlykethat]

so ashley is just fucking dead??

[@qwert_511]

@@orsomethinlykethat yup

[@themusicnerdguy]

ok my hypothesis: i think she died from uncanny long arms. she’s the heir to secretariat, which gentrified the whole town. she literally has reach in everyone’s homes, which is what caused ULA for mara and s*nny. that also explains why the old man warned her about looking eerie and why she “grew a new appendage.” if i had to guess, the reason it’s a prologue is because after ashley’s death, they developed the arm shortening procedure that made mara come back to life in the inlaws part of ULA.

@@themusicnerdguy what???

[@themusicnerdguy]

a sprawling indie rock song by an iconic trans artist with huge beat changes, a scream at the 2/3rds mark, and chaotic ass narration at the end? sign me the fuck up, i loved ptolomaea and i love cctv

[@oddestial]

yes !!! i love Movies For Guys

[@HscoaMusicOfficial]

YOU AIN'T FROM MICHIGAN IF YOU NEVER HEARD THIS 🔥🔥🔥

[@0800john]

This is her Ptolomaea

[@abby4KT]

[@oxiary]

lets see taylor sabotage suprise underscore releases !! WALLSOCKET FOR LIFE

[@SkyWireMashups]

even taylor knows she can't compete with april she's too scared

[@oxiary]

taylor thinks april's art is "mysterious music"

[@CaerwynHeart]

I always wanted to make movies You used to tell me to put the camera down Oh how right you were this whole time Vultures circling above What a nice house they say I’m sorry you had to find me like that In that sorry state You changed jobs for me But look at you now Stop watching it Tv rots the brain you know And they can see it in your eyes You ain’t fooling anyone honey Might as well just delete it You know I hate a period piece If it’s any consolation I’m watching you too I’m always here for you I’m always here for you I’m always here for you I’m always here for you

[@humanperson1779]

[@blysghost6973]

This and Gabby start’s single dropping at the same time has made my night. Wonderful work

[@venemoisdavis452]

i need you to know i was on edge when this song came on (like seriously, what an awesome eerie mood) and then right before the lyrics started i got hit with a loudass ad that scared that absolute EGGS out of me

[@kalifern]

LETS GOOO A FULL 8 MINUTES

[@neartheplumtree]

i find myself enamoured with the tracks that allow me to sublimate my emotional state and process it in a way while listening. this is one of those tracks and the sounds are gorgeous, something inside me is responding

[@Noob_froggy]

i need a thesaurus to understand this comment you absolute wordsmith

[@neartheplumtree]

@@Noob_froggy sorry, i tried to not make it sound too pretentious by the end there, but it felt like too important of a feeling to be expressed by a simpler sentence

[@Noob_froggy]

⁠​⁠@@neartheplumtreethat was a compliment you awesome writer make some poetry or something you have a great vocabulary

[@neartheplumtree]

@@Noob_froggy nah i'm just old. wait till you get older and you'll suddenly find you just know words you forgot existed until the right moment

[@Noob_froggy]

@@neartheplumtreethere was still some artistic merit in your comment so i still think you should write something

[@pinedeerfox]

sounds like something out of a horror game... incredible

[@thefoxoverlord]

eight minutes???? oh my god hell yes

[@bigmantown7125]

there is just something about this format of lyric video that just works wonders with this song in particular

[@BrightyLighty_]

i bet this song was cut because people in rural michigan would literally do anything to avoid driving into toledo even if they were being stalked

[@LeahLundqvist]

this reminds me of early laura les in the best ways possible!!

[@NO-xz5hj]

YES especially the hello kitty skates to the fucking CEMETARY EP

[@MyBroSux24]

how's she gonna fit all of this in the new tour set, especially with supporting Porter??

[@pokkiheart]

I think Stupid would fit right in with what we've heard of the new album. The set's probably gonna be smaller since it's part of Porter's show anyway

[@fwurbz]

i dont think shes going to play this song live like ever

[@MilesDLL]

@@fwurbz this is EXTREMELY funny knowing that she's literally Started some of her sets with this song
