Video: The Portland Cello Project f. Thao, “Tallymarks”

story THE FADER

God we’re feeling so sensitive after watching this video. Our knees are jelly-fied. We wanted to hate because the chorus is “we dropped tears like tallymarks” and there are all these cellos getting swanlike all over the place, and our hearts are hardened and stuff like that is not really in our purview right now because today is crappy and there’s no summer in sight. But we cannot resist the soothing salve that is Thao Nguyen’s voice. So basically we’re gonna go in the bathroom and cry now before we go to East Village Radio. Bummer styles.
