One Song

Flora Cash

For Someone

Joel Frieders | February 9, 2016

Holy fucking gooseballs all up on my goosepimples, this dude sounds like a freshly shaven Glen Hansard. Not only is this Flora Cash song the first song to make me immediately look out my window to my right and watch each individual snowflake flake, but this might be the first time I've felt a song this huge make me feel this small.

"For Someone" is the song that plays in my imagination when some young wide eyed little girl finds the music box you've been trapped inside for decades up in some random attic and casually turns the key expecting nothing. Then the picture quickly zooms out and we're living life through the eyes of innocence, experiencing love, heartbreak, success, failure, and then it somehow ends with the little girl I just mentioned dancing at her own wedding with her pa. Edison bulbs hang from the rafters, snow slowly falls, people are clapping in slow motion, and all the old broads have their heads tilted and tissues at the ready.

OK FUCK YOU I'M A SOFTY OKAY?
