All my favorite songs

All my favorite songs

ROSIE

“‘All my favorite songs’ also represents anger, when every song is associated with a memory and every lyric stings like a wound sterilized with alcohol.

This anger is more of a melancholic, agonizing fury. It is a grieving song – it’s a farewell to every record I knew I wouldn’t be able to listen to for at least a year and every movie I knew would be stained permanently by someone I wanted to forget. I picture this portion of my EP as “the withdrawal.” I was holding onto memories and frustration because that was all that I had left of him and I wasn’t ready to let it go. ‘All my favorite songs’ is by far my favorite song I’ve ever written.

A fun fact about this song: in the chorus, the third line is ‘I know I shouldn’t let you get to me, but I do and it’s exhausting’ but the original line I wrote was actually ‘all the clothes I love fit wrong on me, and my room always feels empty.’"
