alright i chose heather by conan gray and this is my interpretation heather is about many things, on the surface it seams that conan is talking about a girl who he is jealous about, who is with his crush/lover and how perfect she is and how he wishes he was her but for me, yes that's the surface level interpretation but i feel like its more about insecurity and comparing yourself to others, this is especially relevant to us at our age as i feel like that's all we do, we compare ourselves, we push ourselves and we feel insecure. Every day we go on social media and look at those perfect influencers, idols and social media personalities and we just feel more and more like we need to be someone else with body 'tea' and always looking perfect, on top of that they try and lift you up with the 'beauty of insecurities' but in reality they just give you more insecurities you didn't know you had and so this song embodies that, heather isn't just a girl conan gray is jealous of, heather is that girl you saw in the park with the nicest outfit, heather is the girl on p1n who taunts you with her model looks, heather can be a guy as well, heather is the guy whose unnaturally buff, heather is the guy who pulls every girl, my point is heather is everywhere and always in the back of your mind so that you can compare yourself to her, and to me this song is about that, that 'heather' who just so perfect they're unreal, and they are just so likeable that you feel less around them, so whilst yes heather is about the societal norm of comparing yourself to people so much its unhealthy, we must look on the bright side, you are beautiful no matter what, and who cares about that heather, be your own heather, be the one you compare yourself to so that you can see how far you've gone <33 ok now the fun bit the outfit overall i tried to go for a 'model off duty' look, similar to the girls that are photographed on the streets and are used for outfit inspo, that effortlessly cool look that you find on p1n so for me in my mind heather would look like this let me take you through the two notable pieces the sweater - conan mentions it being the 3rd of december which is why i chose one, that has a nordic style pattern, which one would typically wear during the christmas season where the song takes place, it is also a mans sweater because the you (as 'you gave her your sweater) is male, and so thats his sweater the book - rebecca by daphne du maurier this book is about a nameless girl (yes we are never given a name) who gets married to a guy whose previous wife died and the wife's name is rebecca, now rebecca was perfect glamourous, kind and polite, and for some reason everyone is comparing the nameless girl with her so she starts compare herself with rebecca and justs wishes she was her, so rebecca is that nameless girl's heather, and shes constantly in the back of the girls mind showing everything she isnt. the other reason why i chose it is because its a classic, and for me whenever i see someone reading a classic, they just feel better then you and you always just feel a little bit less then them because you're reading a book about a demigod with adhd and dyslexia (iykyk) anyways my attention span has stopped being bothered to write so this is all you'll get from me baii
