i am so happy Halsey is singing Lie and the song is getting her flowers. HFK is in my top 3 of Halsey’s albums and Lie is probably one of my faves from HFK. i had the feeling it was being overlooked bc of Quavos part in that song.
but H singing it live, sounding and looking like a real siren drawing men into the deep sea.. yeah, it hits the spot just right.
just wanted to share that here
i’m playing TGI in a loop, since the deluxe version is out. i’ve loved the album since day one, but i was struggling to connect to it, since i hadn’t had near-death experience like h did.
as i was listening to the lyrics closely, i just burst into tears. i was thinking back on seeing them back in January in Berlin and how lucky, oh how very much lucky we are to still have them. not for the first time, but the first time that hit me so intensely is when i got flashbacks of them on the stage earlier this year, while listening to this devastating and hauntingly beautiful album. i was so emotional just thinking how terrified H must have been and how the world treated her while she was fighting for her life.
TGI is so ahead (and back) of its time and it angries me that not a lot of people recognized it, just because they can’t relate to it. hell i can’t relate to almost dying, but i still can empathize and feel a persons pain through the lyrics.
just wanted to share this in a safe space. again, we’re so lucky and so grateful to still have her making amazing art
