found my mom watching this video one day.
stopped me in my tracks.

with a lil ‘under the sea’ for good measure

^chills everytime
see also:

watched religiously as a kid.
interview with the production studio:

i had just gotten over a break-up
and started opening up to love again
when i met this girl.

all the puppy love-y feelings rushed in,
and i noticed myself trying to read into
everything she was saying.
was she flirting with me?
am i overthinking it all?

she says “nice to meet you!”
and i’m thinking “she thinks meeting me is nice?
am i nice? does she want to meet me more?”
she says “hope to see you soon!”
and i’m thinking “how soon?
she wants to see me sooner?
rather than later?”

when i caught myself doing it,
i felt kinda silly, and realized that
i could capture that feeling in a song.
i was feeling this way for weeks,
but it made sense for the song
to shrink it to a couple days.

me and her never got together,
but this song always brings me back
to those first heart flutters, the stumbles,
the feeling that you’re on to something special.

general old school flow,
inspired mainly by ^this.
