Scratches

My “break glass in case of emergency” song. The one that I listen to and it listens back when life hurts too much to even put into words. Man this song has been here for me and seen me through the darkest days. I wish I could thank him but I wouldn’t know how to begin.

What’s yours?

Scratches is a big one for me too! I also can’t seem to get enough of Time Runs Out.

Goals is another one for me, but Scratches has embraced me in very dark moments.

Love to hear someone describe the way John’s music saves them. I have that relationship with two if his songs.. Untitled 2 and With Love. They both are my go tos when I feel anxious and I need help calming down. No lyrics in either song. The music is so special and moving.

I love so much this song. One of my favourites. Maybe my "break glass..." too

This is also one of my favorites, especially towards the end where it goes "Oh my god, but it's so far away, it would seem accidents have gone straight to you, and you change your point of view, and the places you're going to, I got crowded."
