“A love song for trying times. A song of reassurance [that says] ‘I am here, and you can rest, and you don’t need to explain yourself, and you don’t need to say anything at all, and some days might feel long, and we still have each other.’ It’s the idea that if we do see things fall apart, that’s less about devastation and more a marker of how long we’ve gotten to be together.” -Ruby Alexander
