    Ben Franklin is the Snail Mail O.G. He was the 1st Postmaster General. Back then mail delivery was super slow and inconsistent. To improve it he invented a horse-and-buggy with a special wheel that clicked every mile or so. They he hopped in and embarked on an epic journey over 1,500 miles to log the distances between post offices on the east coast. He also launched night-time transit of letters. He set the stage for 1-3 day letter delivery all over the USA. Recently delivery of letters and postcards has slowed and become inconstant again; yes in part because of the pandemic but mostly because of political meddling and a desire to make the USPS private and turn a profit. We need another Ben Franklin to turn this ship around.

    This song is such a departure from Snail Mail's previous sound in the best way possible. Their sound has matured, as I am sure she has significantly since the last release. I am really loving the deeper and darker vibes on this record. Something I can relate to a little more nowadays.

    _"Like a relapse does when you really try and damn this time I really tried"_
    That line hits hard. I've never been in rehab but I think anyone who's ever tried something that they've struggled with and failed, then finally give it their absolute all just to fail again - can relate.

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Part two feels like spring
    I guess the shit just makes you boring
    Got money, I don’t care about sex
    You knew I would take it
    You brought her to flex
    [Chorus]
    Sucker for the pain huh, honey?
    But you said you'd die
    You wanna leave a stain
    Like a relapse does when you really try
    Damn, this time I really tried
    [Verse 2]
    Lived on, but nothing feels true
    Sometimes I hate her just for not being you
    Post rehab, I've been feeling so small
    I miss your attention, I wish I could call
    [Chorus]
    Sucker for the pain huh, honey?
    But you said you'd die
    You wanna leave a stain forеver
    But you said you'd die
    Said you would have diеd for me
    [Verse 3]
    Raised your voice to me
    Second time, I had to make myself believe
    I deserve it, I'm crazy
    But don't act like you never met me
    [Bridge]
    I never should have hurt you
    I've got the devil in me
    I've got the devil in me
    I've got the devil in me
    [Chorus]
    Sucker for the pain huh, honey?
    But you said you'd die
    You wanna leave a stain forever
    But you said you'd die
    Said you would have died for me

    I’m sure that if some mainstream musician like Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, etc sang this, the video would already have more than 1 million views and it’d be considered a megahit

      Sometimes I wonder about that. Are they hits because they're just famous (for whatever reason), or is their simple and accessible music what allows them to be hit makers?
      Not that this is particularly out there or inaccessible, it's not, but still... And tbf I've only heard of Selena Gomez and have no idea who Olivia Rodrigo is.
      But I think music does have to be kinda... boiled down... to really be a megahit. I mean just scroll through the worldwide chart toppers, it's staggering how popular some really bland music can get.
      But then again there are probably exceptions. And as far as this type of indie goes, Snail Mail is a big hit. Like they're doing pretty good and have been for a while.
