13 Times Your Life Was As A Sam Smith Song
As it has been foretold in the pop culture scriptures, when the angel Adele went on hiatus, God took pity on us mortals and cast down Sam Smith from the heavens in her stead. You see, he knew we were in need of a sultry, British, singer-songwriter to pen us incredibly cathartic tunes to touch our very souls. And we must have been very good little girls and boys this year because oh, did Sam Smith deliver.
But, despite how much I love Smith, I say this with no hint of exaggeration or sarcasm, he also upsets me to my very core. I don't know why it is that the best songs happen to also be the most depressing ones, but they just are. Don't fight me on it. Give in. Sam Smith practically cries into the microphone and we weep with along with him, readily.
So, if you've ever found yourself staring blankly at your bedroom walls for hours as "In The Lonely Hour," plays on loop in the hazy background, you know that it evokes a special kind of moroseness. One that can only be felt or replicated in our darkest moments. Here are those instances when life is so bleak, that it's reminiscent of a Sam Smith song:
WHEN YOU CATCH THE TAIL END OF THE HARRY POTTER MARATHON ON ABC FAMILY
So close to happiness, yet so far.
WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT THE ANIMALS YOU LIVE WITH LEFT AN ENTIRE BOX OF OREOS IN THE PANTRY WITH ONLY CRUMBY DEBRIS IN THEIR WAKE
Selfish, ungrateful jerks. You BOUGHT those Oreos.
WHEN IT RAINS
Every time.
WHEN YOU GET A PIMPLE THAT DOUBLES AS A SECOND HEAD BEFORE A FIRST DATE
Well, bye bye to this potential relationship.
REMEMBERING WHAT YOU LOOKED LIKE IN 6TH GRADE
It's a wonder you even leave your bedroom after that middle school experience.
WHEN THE DVR SCREWS YOU AND DOESN'T RECORD YOUR SHOW LIKE A GOOD ROBOT SHOULD
Because of course it would. Because it's you.
WHEN YOUR GRANDMA CALLS AND IMPLIES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALONE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
0___o
...WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALONE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
God damn it, Grandma.
WHEN YOUR FRIENDS DRAG YOU TO A CLUB AND YOU'RE APPROACHED BY SOMEONE THAT ASKS IF YOU'D LIKE TO GRIND
-No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't like it at all.
WHENEVER YOU WATCH BEACHES
Damn it, Midler.
SHOWING SOMEONE THE "CHRISTIAN THE LION" VIDEO FOR THE FIRST TIME
He REMEMBERED THEM. MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT.
WHEN YOUR IMAGINARY CELEBRITY CRUSH PROCREATES OR GETS MARRIED...WITH SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOU
You know true betrayal.
WHEN YOU STUB YOUR TOE
Ouch.
