This is one of my favorite new songs in the last year. The thoughtful lyrics are about mental health and understanding others at a time where I feel like it's extremely relevant and the smooth harmonies and guitar picking mellow me out and get me emotional at the same time. I hope everyone else enjoys as much as I do.

Hmmm, in my lemmy client, there's just an image - no link.

Can someone please copy the link into a comment for me?

Yeah OP forgot to link the song!

I really like this song too. I haven't linked to Spotify before so I hope this works for everyone.

That link worked for me, so you did it right! :)

Here's a songwhip link for anyone without Spotify though: https://songwhip.com/boygenius/cool-about-it

OP, nice song, thanks for sharing it here.

It's a nice song but parts of it sound too much like The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkle.

Alright, I think that did it. I didn't realize I couldn't post a link and an image at the same time, so my image was overriding my link.
