got me smiling in the first seconds of listening! i love the intro it is such a feel-good sound in ways i can't explain. maybe this is a reflection of what jack antonoff said that everyone for ten minutes album has songs with colors that only bleachers can do. though i remember beatles and bruce springsteen in this sound, it definitely belongs to bleachers discography. i wish i can be poignant about it. and obviously it's also drawn from his marriage with margaret qualley, the lines about this are lovely. antonoff shared via email the background of the song which was drawn from his wedding where a lot of herbs/people who shouldn't stick their noses in his business but did so swarmed his wedding with qualley, outside the place, and yet he noticed how it didn't harm his best day of his life because they were all on the other side celebrating, him being with people who truly cares about; that that's what it looks like when you shut the door and choose who can come in. this song is very representative of the album's concept. additional thought: other type of herbs that i remembered listening to this are people's comments on him being qualley's partner. i say: speak your truth, queen. honestly people are too comfortable on internet sometimes. i find the comments fantasizing qualley and the neverending "bullying" of antonoff as overboard because i don't want that shit too for me and my partner. like, i get that compliments suit her and she is a dream, but imo if your only way to admire her is to say that it should have been you in my place then fuck off and please find somebody else free to drool over. they remind me of the opposites of people who loves jack. so it's fascinating to hear about them marrying in their own space in the song because it fits the concept of the album of when are we not available for others. if you are not a fan, some of the lyrics might sound unrelatable or "??" like the lines after first chorus. you can definitely read between the lines but for those who might not be familiar of antonoff's songwriting style, his public reception, some bits of his life, you might feel that you are missing out on something. it is important to note that they have a mailing list as part of the promotion of the album—antonoff shared about this song. but if you think of it, it's part of the charm of the song, the songwriter of bleachers that he is is always self-referential. its whole point is that jack knows, more than anyone else, who he loves, the people who loves him, and how he rejoices in being surrounded by people—the people that comes through the door to celebrate with him and not tear others down.
