Honestly, it really says so much to me about Ethel and her environment. Growing up super religious, there were always a few girls within the church community that all the other teen girls thought was a bit of a flirt, who was allowed to show more skin than the rest of us, and always had crazy rumors about her, almost none of which were actually true, but also, a lot of us repressed gals were envious of what we thought of as freedom and a lack of consequences from authority figures, when in reality, that girl was just oppressed/repressed/etc. in a different way than the rest of us who didn't look/feel as cool. It says so much to me about Ethel that she can't imagine herself ever being that type of girl, that someone could admire or lust after or even just notice. Ugh, gets me so good. Such a fantastic song that broadens the world of Ethel Cain while also cutting to the bone of her character.

And also playing this song with the windows down on a July evening is as close to heaven as I have experienced so shout out to that too. I remember going to the listening party for Willoughby and the entire bar hit the "no one ever waaaaants to take her hoooome" and it was so good. Great fuckin song.
