One of my most poignant memories has to be singing this in the shower stall the first time I was in the mental hospital. I couldn’t remember all the words so I just repeated the chorus too many times. And I remember looking at the soap and shampoo in the little paper cups and looking at the hair on the wall to the right of me and looking at the tiles on the floor searching for the verse I forgot and maybe something else. I guess it must’ve been washed away though. Anyways I think that moment will stay in my mind forever. I don’t know
i was just sitting there, making a shitty comic about everything that happened and then this autoplayed. almost two years ago now this song was very special to me. now it's strange and a bit painful. i still know the lyrics and sing along without thinking. it's almost hard to wrap my head around the fact that we were friends once. i wonder if he misses the way i sang it to him. eh. life goes on i suppose.
this might be CSH's saddest song...unlike the other candidates (anchorite, the staying song, fiction I) it completely lacks a cathartic element and little hope of redemption
facts. anchorite definitely might be more sad for the first half, that shit never ceases to make me cry. but the end with the screaming and ‘fuck you’ notion at least adds some self respect and hope beyond that person.
@@natasalways i know i'm not the one you're asking this to, but to me, i think some strange angel is about losing your partner from death, and wanting so desperately to either meet them again or just to have their feeling and presence around you again "I don't feel the fear anymore Carry me through your door" the fear of death has completely crumbled, it's an acceptance that death is real, and the narrator wants so desperately to be reunited that death isn't scary to them anymore "And I’m lost just thinking about it In the clouds, some strange angel’s porch Lost just thinking about you In your arms, what I love you for" just lost in thought, thinking about what awaits them, comforting each other on some angel's porch (heaven likely), just being there with one another, even in death the whole song just has this feeling of sorrowful loss, but a hopeful acknowledgement that, in the future, they'd reunite again, it guts me every time
Whenever I listen to this song, all I can think of is when I was riding with my mom on vacation listening to this album and when this song was playing I vividly remember just leaving the Chicago area, surrounded by a power plant just off the road. It just kinda felt like this song was written in that type of area
I'll casually say "hey" and wave When I finally meet you The tickets are expensive To get there from where I live I guess I'll take the highway You had that Expo in the spring But I had school and home and things In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas Heard of your predicament Sending my deepest regrets Twenty dollars are enclosed To get you through these darker times I hope that we both stay alive Enough to figure something out I'd like to take the train right now In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Go to Virginia Richmond or Williamsburg Some college kid living on his parents' dime And wouldn't it be fine? If he could come and visit you Oh, it'd make his parents cry Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh In the beginning, it was easy to deny A good friend of mine lives in Kansas And in the end, it was easy to deny Another lonely day down in Kansas Raised in a graveyard Strange this displacement I will take great pains To get to those great plains Drop out of college Move to Topeka A good friend of mine lives there
Listening to this song reminds me of when I applied for a whole prestigious scholarship to go to Germany to meet a guy I thought I had something with (I’m from California, USA) … the guy did not have the same feelings and it was miserable for a lot of that winter , but hey … I’m a Fulbright alumni now so it wasn’t for anything 😅 it is such a sad song though and the melancholy of being in that situation is very obvious in this song 🥺how does Will/CSH always manage to be so unexpectedly relatable?!
the callback to bodys hurts me physically,,,,,,,hhhhhh i wonder how twin fantasy would've sounded like had it been released w this rather than cute thing :'0
i’ve cried to this song many times. at first it was just a good accompaniment to being a trans teen with shitty parents, but recently this song has hit closer to the heart. thank you will
theres a really great cover of this song by the band "wet sock society" on spotify, i would recomend anyone to check it out if they are fans of carseat headrest!

You were there for a reason
@@hubert3704 of course I was brah. You think I’m unaware of how mentally ill I am?
I think about this every time I hear this song
@@Gayseball yeah, for being a csh fan
i think of this comment whenever i hear the song

Wow I have never had an original thought
@@vinnie1802 eh just means you are plugged in the zeitgeist
my 2020-2021 toxic long distance relationship with my childhood best friend hates to see this song coming
Lord this song is kicking my ass tonight

Some strange angel is the saddest.
@@MA-fd6so it’s never stood out as one of the saddest to me, what does it mean to you?
@@natasalways i know i'm not the one you're asking this to, but to me, i think some strange angel is about losing your partner from death, and wanting so desperately to either meet them again or just to have their feeling and presence around you again
"I don't feel the fear anymore
Carry me through your door"
the fear of death has completely crumbled, it's an acceptance that death is real, and the narrator wants so desperately to be reunited that death isn't scary to them anymore
"And I’m lost just thinking about it
In the clouds, some strange angel’s porch
Lost just thinking about you
In your arms, what I love you for"
just lost in thought, thinking about what awaits them, comforting each other on some angel's porch (heaven likely), just being there with one another, even in death
the whole song just has this feeling of sorrowful loss, but a hopeful acknowledgement that, in the future, they'd reunite again, it guts me every time
@@MA-fd6so Some Strange Angel is a love song. I can confirm
for anyone who doesn't know: this was originally going to be on twin fantasy, but Will decided to replace it with cute thing
good choice
bad choice
medium choice
Deffinitvely one of the choices ever made
maybe thats where the Kansas line comes from ig
there was a week-long period a few months ago where this song occupied like 80% of my thoughts
i hope u are doing better now
this comment influenced me to do the same thing a while ago and it did not go well thank you for influencing me to have KS brainrot
same..
This is me rn
Me right now

It just kinda felt like this song was written in that type of area
Depending on the power plant I might’ve grown up around there and if it’s the one I’m thinking of then you’re totally right
I can’t believe he didn’t go up the octave in the last chorus
I'll casually say "hey" and wave
When I finally meet you
The tickets are expensive
To get there from where I live
I guess I'll take the highway
You had that Expo in the spring
But I had school and home and things
In the beginning, it was easy to deny
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
Heard of your predicament
Sending my deepest regrets
Twenty dollars are enclosed
To get you through these darker times
I hope that we both stay alive
Enough to figure something out
I'd like to take the train right now
In the beginning, it was easy to deny
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
In the beginning, it was easy to deny
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas

A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Go to Virginia
Richmond or Williamsburg
Some college kid living on his parents' dime
And wouldn't it be fine?
If he could come and visit you
Oh, it'd make his parents cry
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
In the beginning, it was easy to deny
A good friend of mine lives in Kansas
And in the end, it was easy to deny
Another lonely day down in Kansas
Raised in a graveyard
Strange this displacement
I will take great pains
To get to those great plains
Drop out of college
Move to Topeka
A good friend of mine lives there

i hope that we both stay alive, long enough to figure something out
i’d like to take the train right now
this is one of my favourite csh songs it's so mellow
This one gives me chills every time it comes on
a good friend of mine lives somewhere far away
I don’t want to go to college
You’ve got to get a job, you’re gonna need some money.
But How are you going to pretend to be a decent human being?
in the beginning it was easy to deny
a good friend of mine lives on venus
on the song sorter i was offered this song and no starving, i chose this song.
i’ve cried to this song many times. at first it was just a good accompaniment to being a trans teen with shitty parents, but recently this song has hit closer to the heart. thank you will
this is so real
in the benigning
theres a really great cover of this song by the band "wet sock society" on spotify, i would recomend anyone to check it out if they are fans of carseat headrest!
This song would have been perfect on album 3
Add a Y after the k…. It’s called dark humour😈

Easily a better breakup album than monomania
TF would've been better if this was before Cute Thing
@Wesley Page agreed. honestly i feel like i’d prefer this over high to death. don’t get me wrong i love high to death but this one seems more on theme
After IMO but still yea, it fits
1.25 speed goes CRAZY
Dallas Young oh shit oh fuck,
damnnnnn so true
Will made a mistake by not adding this on twin fantasy
real
are there any other albums apart of this one, that have been removed from bandcamp ?
Sunburned shirts EP is one of them.
@@bramkools6393 @Bram Kools sunburned shirts ep was split between lpopwnwot and mbikmb so i dont think its in the same vein as this album
nah but there are some live things that arent on bandcamp
some compilations with like 1 csh song each have been deleted but some still exist
@@biggle_manif I wasn’t a csh fan I would think you were fucking with me with these album titles lmao
