*inhales* THE MOON IS HIGH LIKE YOUR FRIENDS WERE THE NIGHT THAT WE FIRST MET WENT HOME AND TRIED TO STALK YOU ON THE INTERNET NOW IVE READ ALL OF THE BOOKS BESIDE YOUR BED THE WINE IS COLD LIKE THE SHOULDER THAT I GAVE YOU IN THE STREET CAT AND MOUSE FOR A MONTH OR TWO OR THREE NOW I WAKE UP IN THE NIGHT AND WATCH YOU BREATHE
At the time [of the original release of Red] I was, honestly, really sad because I had actually gone through the stuff that I had sung about. But this time I’ve got like sunglasses on and a mojito and it’s just chill this time. It’s really nice to be able to put this album out and not be taking breaks in between interviews to cry, I’m telling you it’s much better this way.
In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result, a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness. Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history, and memory. I’ve told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve. (insp)
