everyone saying olivia only has 6 happy songs from her three albums that includes (1) so american, (2) drop dead, (3) honeybee, (4) u + me = <3, (5) stupid song, and (6) maggots for brains — but am i the only one who thinks that 'stranger' from GUTS is, too? Stranger has always been my comfort song since I first listened to it. my heart feels lighter everytime I listen to stranger, and when i say my heart feels lighter, i really meant it physically. and for me it's not only a "happy song" but a "healing" one. the lyrics "i WAS half myself without you, now I feel so complete.. I can't even remember what made me lose all that sleep.." it's like you look back at those nights when you can't handle the thoughts of losing someone, how you went insane and sleepless.. and now you realize how crazy it was that you can't remember how exactly everything hurts.
it's like the thought of accepting that you're finally over with someone you thought you'd spend your whole life with, someone who knew everything about you is just a stranger now. and no, it's not sad. it's like accepting it is over — that you're already healed, moving forward from it. love loveeee GUTS.
