If I’m a judge on “The Voice”, I RUIN (HA) my button as soon as she hits the “you” here:
“I was overflowing, more than YOU were knowing”
I swear, that note sounds like a bird if you focus on it! So beautifully sung.
That’s VÈRITÈ though. There will just be parts of her songs that drop your jaw. Give you goosebumps. Make you sigh.
“Four walls and I’m ricocheting, a few pills watch me levitate out of here, so close, you should see it on my face, by now, by now, by now, I was overflowing, hoping you would notice, and my mind was breaking, hoping it could take me out, and darling, you out to know by now, and darling, you ought to know somehow, and darling, you ought to know (by now)”
That sequence is the star of the song and the showcase for how much of a powerhouse her voice is. The melody that begins with “I was overflowing” is absolutely one of my favorites on this entire year-long list. “Four walls and I’m ricocheting” is my new favorite way to describe “bouncing off the walls”. She’s so talented vocally and writing-wise. It really shows here.
To me, this song is about being so smitten with someone, and it’s so obvious, that they really should have figured it out by now. Still trying to understand what that has to do with the photos she’s using on Spotify. Being so enamored with someone to the point where you won’t let them leave your side?
Maybe an unhealthy affection? I dunno. Doesn’t matter, she sounds magnificent!
Thanks for reading. Love you. Be good.
