I love her writing. I'm glad I saw her tiny desk concert because this seems on the far end of indie. I'm curious if this album had been appreciated as much as I've been feeling about it. The lo-fi style + her southern (or whatever) sounding vocals is so beautiful. *melts* Also the simplicity of the music pairs perfectly with the personal/folk story style lyrics. Right.. bathtub. It seems to be about her emotionally dominant role in a possibly abusive or manipulative relationship. I think she is conflicted about how she feels for him because she can't control who he is- yet she's still in love with his 'true self' even though its a person she mistreats. 'you don't deserve it' & 'someone will hurt me so bad someday'-Perhaps because the way she hurts him is karma driven back to her as something she almost expects. Her love feels genuine yet destructive leaving her suffering with guilt and shame. Her apathy for him contrasts his powerful outgoing care for her. If this is correct I completely relate. Her personal and brutal honesty is what is special about this song to me. |
