I’d just like everyone to know that after my haircut this morning the stylist told me she was off on maternity leave soon and in a tired fumble I said “i hope you love your baby”
I HOPE. YOU LOVE. YOUR BABY
what is it with food bloggers putting their life story before every recipe? oh I remember the first time I tasted salted caramel cheesecake it was a cold autumn night & nick wasn’t texting back
being a musician is a lol because some days you’re consumed by the constant dread of an uncertain future but some days you get to just play synth for like 8 hours so that’s cool
MY ALBUM IS NO. 3 IN IRELAND & NO. 10 IN THE UK 😭 no big record label, just us. WE DID THIS ! I have never felt as loved & as rooted for as I have this week - thank you. 🥲
found the most incredible reverb cave in salt lake city, sang some “did it to myself” with

@AdamMelchor
almost 400k listens to this song on spotify alone, u blow my mind
in a cafe in nyc, headphones on, having a victory listen of did it to myself. seems quiet, I keep turning it up. headphones off at the end, the song had been blasting out of my laptop speaker the whole time. love yourself
fuck racism. fuck the subtle everyday racism, fuck the blatant, malicious, unapologetic racism fuelling this inequality and FUCK the leaders and politicians that allow it to continue
it’s a scary time to be self-employed & a scary time to be a musician, especially one who earns from live shows. if any friends are struggling to stay positive please drop me a message & let’s talk it through
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE 🥵 what a time to buy shares in the artist ORLA GARTLAND storming the tiktok charts and capturing the hearts of gen z
thank you to everyone listening & thank you heartstopper 🥲 viva la renaissance
🌀 my best friends and I started a band 🥲 we are FIZZ 🌀

finally we’re ready to begin inviting you into our world and maaaan, what a world it is. follow us & pre-save our first single ‘High In Brighton’ (yes, rly) out June 14th:
internalised biphobia sucks ! things feeling heavier to carry because you never say them out loud sucks ! baby steps but i’m getting there 👼
yes of course oh GOD is about a girl, is literally anyone surprised
I resent the narrative that this time should be be a productive, skill-building, self-improvement fest for us all
it’s ok to feel useless ! it’s ok to take this one day at a time. it’s ok to not be able to think about anything else ! !
queens. singing with these gals felt like the most natural thing in the world.. every time I wasn’t singing I found myself looking at whoever was & just beaming with pride ✨
watch us mashup all 4 of our songs:
a couple of years ago I sold a keyboard to a kid on gumtree. I bumped into him on a train this evening & he told me he’d been playing ‘I go crazy’ on the same keyboard.. he found the song over the summer & then realised it was by me, that ginger from gumtree. COOL
ok don’t care if I sound weird but I LOVE a good dad. let’s make a list of the best dads in film & tv, i’ll start
1) the dad in about time
2) ross & monica’s dad in friends
3) elio’s dad in call me by your name
who else
this is dark. good music takes time & the pressure on artists to pump out content & music factory-line style encourages a straight up quantity over quality approach. lowering the bar means lots of music.. lots of rushed, less considered music
a highlight of 2022 for me was the renaissance of my smash hit ‘why am I like this?’. thank you
@AliceOseman
for picking this song to soundtrack such an incredible scene & allowing it to become part of the heartstopper cinematic universe 🍂 🌈 hi to anyone who found me this way
have always respected Taylor's decision to re-record because fucK labels owning artists' masters but wow, like it's genuinely great. the key change at the end brought TEARS TO MY EYES
I’m thrilled to tell you that my new version of Fearless (Taylor’s Version) is done and will be with you soon. It has 26 songs including 6 never before released songs from the vault. Love Story (Taylor’s Version) will be out tonight. Pre-order now at 💛💛
what a week. all of the support from heartstopper has been VERY FUN - hi to anyone who found me after hearing ‘why am I like this?’ on episode 2. 🥲
you can listen to the full song on spotify or wherever you listen to music. plenty of other sad songs there too lol
