You know when you listen to a song for the first time, and then you listen to it again. Again and again and again. And every time you listen to it, you think about all of the other times you’ve listened to it, and you are certain that this song will be played several more times in the future until forever, until you’re an adult and come across this shirt and are reminded of every feeling connected to this song only to realize that someone has committed intellectual property theft and turned one of your favorite songs into “one of those cute shirts with a clever saying” without crediting anyone, and you want to die a little inside, but instead you go home, and you listen to that song again and again until your eyelids are heavy, and the last thought that passes through you before you drift away is that you’d probably buy that for your kid because your kid would be the coolest kid on the playground wearing a Neutral Milk Hotel shirt, even if no one knows it, but you.
