Stand by Me

I’m now going through all of River Phoenix’s discography after watching My Own Private Idaho, and I wanted to start with this movie. It had been the only River film I’d seen before. Ugh this movie is so iconic and breathtaking. And the vulnerability and beauty of their relationships, especially Chris and Gordie. Chris’ monologue broke me and I was sobbing. River was just so amazing god I can’t believe we lost a person like that.  It reminds me of my three childhood friends who I still see to this day and we care so much about each other <3  But I wish we got to have a big adventure like that
