I don’t relate to big, inspirational songs about overcoming obstacles, or being a hero. Bright songs that reflect some happy party life sound totally alien to me. I won’t ever relate to songs about feeling huge, crushing love. I’m a lesbian in a small town. I can’t meet anyone new. I don’t have enough life in me to resonate with tragic ballads about revenge or breakups. I can’t listen to songs about places I’ll never go to. I don’t connect with any of them.
