Well, folks, it looks like Chairlift is wrapping things up. I’m sad because Chairlift has vastly improved my life for the better in SO, SO many ways in the four years that I’ve been their fan. Their music has been there for me during some the worst moments of my life and I’ve met so many incredible people through our mutual love of Chairlift. I even (sort of) figured out what I want to do academic research on through thinking about it in relation to Chairlift.That’s why I made this blog 4 years ago – to celebrate a band that meant so much to me. When I made it, I had no idea that I would get so much from it – amazing friends, being introduced to other great music, and even actually getting to meet Caroline and Patrick themselves! All of from this silly little Tumblr fan blog! All because Chairlift made some mind-blowing music that I have intensely connected to. I’m sad because Chairlift in the form that we know and love won’t be around for much longer. But I also deeply understand the need to move on to other things, even if what you’re moving on from is so wonderful. I understand it because I feel way same about this blog.I think that is a good moment to wrap things up here at FYC. You may have noticed that I haven’t been as active on here as I once was. It’s not because my love of all things Chairlift/Caroline/Patrick has waned - it hasn’t! - but it’s because I’m not the same person I was when I first made this blog 4 years ago. Part of that is purely practical – a grad student with two part-time jobs doesn’t have the same time to dedicate to curating a Tumblr that an underemployed undergrad on summer vacation does – but there’s also been a deeper change in how I interact with the music I love. I don’t really know to explain it, but the time feels right for me to move on to other things.I’m not going to delete this blog, don’t worry! I’ll keep it up as an archive for Chairlift-related stuff. I just won’t be updating it (except maybe to post the spring tour dates when they’re announced). Thank you to all of you for joining me on this Chairlift fandom journey. You’re all amazing people, and I would love to keep in touch with you!
