you never looked so beautiful
Anything prefaced with ex often alludes to a cutting of circulation to a once rhythmic pulse of two hearts. The end of it all. The closure. The exile of one’s life to another’s. Ex-lovers, being such an extraordinary case; messy and complicated with all those awful feelings involved is a term to burn the tongue. It’s something that pairs great intimacy with it’s great demise, juxtaposing one extreme to the other, lending to nothing but bitterness and unreturned personal belongings. It’s often only referred to among the boldest of speakers, the ones that would use lover, and use it often. They would speak of love like it had arms and legs. Like it shared a space in the bed. Most people cap it at ‘ex’. Either way, its a cruel reminder of what was, and what should never be again for all parties involved.
British band- ‘ EP You Forget So Easily, produced by Stephen Street of the Smiths/Blur is warm and easy, often not the adjectives dressing such titles as ‘ex-lovers’, but there’s something resolving about it, something that makes you feel like being friends isn’t such a bad idea afterall. (note: always a bad idea)
exlovers- you forget so easily
