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
“ 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.
