this is interesting to me because while I think Lewis has written a lot of good lyrics it would not even occur to me to consider that the sorta banal lyrics are bad because whether or not I connect with her is always about melody and the personality in her voice, and I think she's still in the zone for that
oh she for sure sounds great. my thing is that she's written plenty of sort of goofy songs but they've always been delivered like she's in on the joke, and i just don't hear that here. idk it's big stoner phony kind of deep vibes and that's not really my bag!
“ I want to believe that joy is good. I want to believe that joyfulness is better to be around, and better for you, than cynicism. But I have to ask: If joy is so good, why does it so often sound so fucking stupid?”
Love this. Haven’t even finished reading yet, but wanted to pop in and say that as always I enjoy your writing so much. A real bummer to hear this album doesn’t really hit the mark.
