-Bee Of The Bird Of The Moth

Eww, feelings![edit]

They Might Be Giants are my therapy, they comfort me and keep me safe. I cannot thank them enough for how much they’ve helped me throughout these past couple of years, they will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m also not ashamed to admit that I’ve cried to Can You Find It? and The House At The Top Of The Tree more times than I can count.

I especially find immense comfort in John Linnell’s work, his lyrics are a special kind of clever humor that tickles my brain & really just makes me feel so good & loved. He is a mastermind at putting unfathomable feelings/emotions into words that I can truly never express no matter how hard I try, that’s what’s so special about him in my opinion. I thank him & his music for always being there for me and making sure that my heart and soul are beaming and filled with whimsy.

And as you can most certainly tell, my favorite non-kids song is Upside Down Frown. The song resonates with me so much and is extremely special & personal to me! I absolutely adore the soft, relaxing melody that it comprises of, along with Linnell’s very very sweet, lullaby-like voice. He sounds so gentle and sympathetic. Upside Down Frown as a whole has this certain sweetness and tenderness that just warms my heart and hugs my autistic brain, mostly on account of how much I personally connect with the feeling that the song is delineating and its incredibly witty eloquence while doing so. But overall, it’s a very lovely song that makes me feel so many different emotions..and it never fails to make me bawl my eyes out.

I just want to thank Linnell & his amazing capability to write exactly how I feel and think. That is one of the (many) reasons why I’m so attached to him :-)


Some comfort songs that feel like a warm hug & make me very happy:[edit]


That’s all for now. Peace.
