Men I Trust

Humming Man

Do I like this?

I've sent this video to more than three trusted friends and no one responded to me. I got two "ugh"s and a "Send this to Javi", but no one said they didn't like it. 

What the fuck is up with Men I Trust? Why can't I decide if I like this?

I know the first hang up I had with this shit was the use of the word 'disdain'. I understand the word is a verb, but I always use it like a noun, like I'm verbing WITH the noun that I'm holding. Their use of disdain here is like they're disdaining some shit, and that makes me uncomfortable. It's like a word you use all the time is suddenly confusing. The other day I stared at the word 'concert' for like fifteen minutes not understanding what "shonkert" meant.

And then they say the word 'bustles' in a way I'm unfamiliar with, and again, I don't know what the fuck is happening to me. 

But then I start the fucking song over and I'm slowly nodding my head and waiting for the later portion of the song to arrive where she goes "saaaaahaaaahaaaaaay" and the beat's all massagingly hell yea and happily Portisheady and I'm going to start this song over again aren't I?

FUCK. And then the verses are all sung in the same note, but then the end of each sentence wears a distinct piece of flair and her voice fucking KILLS me. 

I really have no idea why I fucking think I love "Humming Man", and who knows, maybe I actually hate it but I'm turned on by the simplicity with the cool cursive floofs at the ends. 

Does any of this make sense? What the fuck is wrong with me and Men I Trust?

Did I just type the word floofs? What the fuck.
