Status Updates From One Song: Sometimes a Song ...

"Shit at maths, obviously, and general common sense, but maybe not as shit at songwriting and singing as I'd come to believe."

Oh Eva, your life might be a debarcle, but your not

"The bongos are many things, but seldom miraculous."

"I have to remind myself that Ant - for all his virtues - doesn't know what he's talking about."

Eva, I think he does

'But what did she say, exactly?'
'Nothing. Just two thumbs.'
'Up?' I check.
'Up.'
'Was she being sarcastic?'
'I don't think so. Thumbs are pretty straightforward.'

"Mim films it all, even though, on the surface, this must be the least cinematic scene in history. But what's happening inside is seismic."

"His shoulder twitches twice, and I like to think it's because he's flying, in there."

"Hope is what's left when the noise fades away."

This sounds a lot like bribing the police

"I hope they see in me a determined, artistic genius, and not a hungover, lying mess of a girl who doesn't have a chance in hell of achieving anything with her life."

A positive atitude will get you anywhere

"Cooper Hunter gets raised on rock and roll, I imagine Ruby thinking, and I get medicated for listening to The Smashing Pumpkins?"

'I sent Cooper out to stall them.'
'With what? His eyelashes?'

If those pills are pink, that's the worst one to stop cold turkey

"My period has caused lasting emotional trauma."

Not Shakespeare, Ruby, a song that'll press pause on the world

"Clever Ruby. She had the foresight to lock herself in the ensuite before anyone else could do so."

"Come on, it's only a bit of completely normal menstrual fluid. The boys can handle it. I mean, they probably did handle it."

I know Eva is dying of embarassment, but I AM dying over here 😂😂😂

Oh Eva. I wondered why it was mentioned over and over...

"Here she is, hands in pockets, walking beside me in the rain. She's told me her feelings and hasn't asked for mine in return."

Mim is epic. This just got so much better, and it was spectacular before

"Yet here she is, face to face with boy who rejected her, pulling off insouciance in under twenty-four hours... A girl who drips stormwater and doesn't betray how cold she feels."

"'She threw herself at you?'
'Yeah. Exactly. How did you know?'
I shrug. It's what I'd been wanting to do."

Oh Eva, don't say that part out loud. Or do. Whatever

"Something's changed, I swear it.
The air feels charged and so do I, though I can't tell if it's from the thunderstorm out there or what's been happening in here. Both are surprising and wild."
