“ceilings” by Lizzy McAlpine, Thursday, August 31, 2023 + Rain playlist

 

Last year, Lizzy McAlpine released her album five seconds flat. She began writing the songs for an EP, traveling to London after ending a relationship. The song "ceilings" was a part of that writing session, and as McAlpine explains to Genius, the lyrics of the song refer to an experience in the rain in London. The song went viral on TikTok, especially due to the outro which is a "plot twist," according to McAlpine, in which the love interest appears to be a fictionalized story in the speaker's mind. The song is a perfect rainy-day song with the strings backing the acoustic guitar and Lizzy's beautiful voice. I want to dig more into five seconds flat, but today I'd like to make a Rainy Day mixtape to close out this depressing, sad girl summer we've been having in Korea. Of course, these songs won't be specific to the summer but will soundtrack rainy days throughout the year. Enjoy!
