The Kind That Needs a Witness

There’s a specific loneliness to headphones at 2am—smooth electronics filling the dark, and nowhere to put any of it. I do it often enough. But some songs have a weight that doesn’t land properly until there’s another person in the room to receive it. Someone you love. Or hate. Usually both.
