This song is about female friendships throughout my life - a musical collage of memories, cataloging closeness, confrontation, competition, cooperation, casual cruelty, and compassion. The first seeds of this song sprung from a childhood memory. When I was a kid, my little sister and I were spinning around our bedroom, dancing to the Spice Girls when I accidentally let go of her hand. She fell. Obviously it was an accident, but to this day, she maintains that I did it on purpose. Despite being completely fine and unharmed, she threw herself on the floor and cried out dramatically, like she was dying. In the true spirit of elder sister retribution, (fifteen years later) I wrote this song and deceived her into singing background vocals on the chorus - she has never heard the words. When I was in first grade, my best friend (who I adored) dragged me across her front lawn by the hair - just for fun. When we were in third grade, she laughed and kicked me under the desk so violently that the teacher reassigned our seats. Shortly after, I made her cry at field day when she wasn’t trying hard enough to help our team win. Despite all of this, I really loved her and would’ve done anything for her. In my adult life, many of my female relationships have played out similarly, only now, our weapons are more our words (or sometimes, a lack thereof). The video is a visual collage of these memories and relationships, recalling some childish acts of violence - but playing out as adults. This song and narrative are about female relationships, so it was very important for me to collaborate with women to tell this particular story, as we often have some shared universal experiences. Our creative team was composed of nearly exclusively women and non-gender conforming individuals - including cast, cinematographer, producer, production designer, and so forth.
Even if it was on purpose, you obviously have regretted it ever since. I hope she can forgive you and that you guys have a good relationship henceforth!
This is simply beautiful. I genuinely find the duality it holds lyrically interesting. It conveys friendships in such a humanly honest way- they are not all bad, but they are not all good. Perception can be where all things diverge. “Spinning around your room, it’s an accident waiting to happen” is my favorite lyric. New favorite song
I absolutely love every song you release. I've rarely found songs I'm able to fully feel the emotions behind them but I can feel every lyric in all your songs. I'm such a fan now, keep up the amazing work ❤
One of my favorite songs of yours now. Friendship is such an important thing, and yet so few songs manage to convey what you have. Absolutely beautiful.
Love the song, and all off of bathwater. Curious what made you move away from synthy pop to more singer songwriter stuff? I like both your first album and this new direction, but just curious, if you're willing to offer any insight on the creative direction and what's taking your attention these days?
such a cute song!! it brought me back to my childhood when i was playing with my friends🥲 those were the good times before smart phones and social media. this also reminded me when i was piggybacking my friend and the gum in her mouth fell onto my hair and I had to cut that chunk off!! it was not pretty 🤣
Makes me miss my old best friend and birthday twin that broke up with me TWICE It's been like 9 years and I still think about her, especially near our birthday
It sucks when people want to cut off random parts of your body. Hate it when that happens! (It is always for the best if you can forgive them however.)
I mean this in all seriousness and respectfully when I ask this question: is it strange that I’m a heterosexual man in his late 30s and this, little rituals and witches brew are my favorite songs in like the past couple years? I hope that question isn’t taken the wrong way but I’m just honestly wondering.
Art is art! What matters is that you enjoy it, not who you identify as. Don't let others ever tell you that you shouldn't like something just cause they think so, always choose what makes you happy.

Another important story told!

Can’t wait to see your new hair! 🥰

I really love this more guitar-driven sound you've been playing with!!
Yeah this really has such 90s vibes, doesn't it?

Fantastic! Everything fits well together! Its such a shame that quality like this is so absent from the radio and mainstream.
Gotta call the radio stations and make requests!
The way I had this song on repeat for the last hour or two. once again another amazing song from luna shadows!!!🤩❤

fantastic new release, I like Luna so much, amazing singer

Love the song and video!!! Question, is that the same couch from the trash tv video or are they just really similar?
it is not but I did note the similarity when we selected it :)
found out about her like 3 minutes ago and im absolutely loving this already
More guitarrr aaah. This was lovely. I hope your female friendships today give you love, growth, and a loving kick in the butt if you need it.
