Tragic Unrealized Love Yay
Mar. 7th, 2026 08:08 pmSup folks. This was originally meant to be my last post of 2025, after getting seized by the angst-lover in the core of my heart. A bunch of other life stuff got in the way, but now I finally have a little breathing room, so now you're getting a short spiel on one of my favorite kind of fictional relationship - the tragic almost-love.
For this, you can thank our good fellow Todd in the Shadows, who one week prior to my drafting this post released his Worst Pop Songs of 2025 video. Some country star with shitass politics did a cover of a very anti-war song by the Chicks (big name country band in the 90s and 2000s that got blacklisted after criticizing Bush's invasion of Iraq). Todd was understandably deeply peeved by both the cover being a poor adaptation and the guy's shitass politics directing his choice to turn it into a "God Bless Our Troops" anthem instead of the mournful critique it actually is. But we're not gonna waste anymore time on the shitass version, we're gonna talk about how this song rocked my ass.
