Alright... what are your thoughts on Clara Bow!

SO glad u asked. I love the Clara Bow, especially as an album closer. It tackles the anxious feeling of not being an ingenue anymore that we heard in "Nothing New"yet there is also acceptance in the overall tone of the song.

The repetition of words only changes the muse. Going from one new dazzling star to another that´s exactly like you but not quite - tale as old as time. There´s the melancholy of each verse disposing of the previous girl as the industry often does, knowing you´re just another one on the conveyor belt. She sings like she´s always known her fate and tries telling the others, "I´ve been there too. they said that to me too. i´ts going to come back around for you too, just so you know."

And then, there´s a hint of pride in knowing you were something worth being inspired by. You hear it in the way she sings about clara bow and stevie nicks, like the legends they are - she´s becoming one too. It´s only very recently that we´ve started hearing "the next taylor swift" conversations - looking for a replacement, yes but simultaneously acknowledging that you want another her, another starlet to create art like her - in a way only she can.

And isn't that exciting? Knowing that even after you´re out of your prime, what you´re doing is so significant and so new at some point in time that you are forever someone´s clara bow.

the rise and fall of a midwest princess is a no skips album

I think you all need to chill out with the "if you think this album isn't good, you're not smart!" and with the "if you think this album is good, you're dumb".... putting both groups in a bus for 8 hours to force you all to get along
