The thing about the hunger games is that ……………. I know there is A Point but also I like to have fun and ship things so watching ballad of songbird and snakes is just like but I want to ship Lucy and Corio and I want them to work out and I want this to be good. And then it isn’t and I’m sad and disappointed and there is a part of me that’s like “and what was the reason”
About a year and half ago I wrote a song about an incredible story, the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively and literally. The juxtaposition of her loneliness and independence. Her longing and her stillness. Her curiosity and fear, all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness… and the world’s betrayal of it. I wrote this one alone in the middle of the night and then Aaron Dessner and I meticulously worked on a sound that we felt would be authentic to the moment in time when this story takes place. I made a wish that one day you would hear it. ‘Carolina’ is out now 🥺
