I Will Buy You a New Life :: Smog Friday Five 5 Things this song reminds me of: 1. How growing up always struggling, and being an adult who is still struggling, changes who you are.

“What are you changing? Who do you think you’re changing? You can’t change things, we’re all stuck in our ways.” I could probably choose the entire Rabbit Fur Coat album as a favorite, and it would definitely be part of my favorite album list, because pretty much every song on the album resonates deeply with me.
