Can't wait to make @spinaret.bsky.social listen to "Father Figure" so I can point out all of the Godfather allusions and remind him that the new album is ORANGE ❤️🔥
my fault really for mansplaining the oranges symbolism in 'The Godfather' to @jessidee.bsky.social so that whenever anything orange appears, she'll point and shout "ORANGE!"
