    P.S. This was such a stunning album!! ✨✨✨ I listened to “Golden Hour” before the release of this one (oof). The juxtaposition of going from an album about finding and being in love to this one about her divorce/heartbreak/moving on is so heartbreaking, yet so beautiful/inspiring. Overall, a damn good album!! 🥰 Can’t wait to watch the film so I can see how all the songs connect to the story line!! 😙👏🏼
    Also, yes, “gracias a la vida” (thanks to life) is a Spanish cover of a song by Chilean artist Violeta Parra 😉👍🏼 beautifully done if I may say so 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

IMAGINE IF WE HAD GOTTEN A KACEY VERSION OF “EASIER THAN LYING”?!? 😱 maybe not as rock-heavy with the production, but LYRICALLY!! 💀 I’ll still have it on rotation though, it’s actually nice to listen to while driving around 🥰 hahaha

      BUT I think she did the song a disservice by putting “what doesn’t kill me” RIGHT after it, which I think has a similar message with much stronger lyrics. Still wouldn’t skip though 😉👍🏼

    not gonna lie, i almost cried in a interview of hers, where she talked about how 'camera roll' was written, she said that in a "bored and sad" night she scrolled to far up in her camera roll, and found memories she didn't really want to, then she was passing by a piano she has in her home, and 3 keys kinda speaked to her (she's not really a pianist, she said that she didnt even know what those keys where) and these 3 keys made a beautiful chord that made she start crying

    I love Cherry Blossom for kind of a strange reason, it’s obviously a gorgeous song but when I was 9 my mom, step dad and I moved from Georgia to Japan (military) and I didn’t know what Cherry Blossom trees were until I saw one for the first time and it blew my mind, it was just so gorgeous. I know that’s random but I always think of that when I hear that song. Angel & Good Wife are also some of my absolute faves❤️❤️

    she also talked about the last song, its a cover from a very old song, i dont remember exacly the name of the women, but the first one that wrote the song, kinda used it as a suicide note, it talks about how life gave her everything, the good and the bad, and then it was covered by another woman years later, that gave it another meaning, and then this song found her during one of her mushroom trips (yes shes very into a hallucinogenics) and this song touched her in a very important time, in the song iirc there's parts from both of the previous recordings, and her cover, its so beautiful

    @memostillthebomb 3 года назад +10

    her interview with zane on apple music really explains the journey and meaning behind the album. I dont really see this as a divorce album as many have said. it's an album about her continued journey.
    ben keeps mentioning he wants more anger in the music, well she sounds pretty angry to me. angry at herself for the marraige not working. nothing salacious, no scandal or cheating. it just didnt work out that's all. being angry doesnt mean being loud or aggressive, especially when you might be mad at yourself the most.
    but hey, what do I know. music is open to interpretation. we see, hear and feel things differently because we connect to them in our own way, even when the artist means something else.
    also, i've listened to the full album at least 10-13 times in 3 days. it's awesome and she's great.

    I heard the final effect in “Gracias a la Vida” as demonic, which oddly made me feel for her on a deep level for the first time on the album, and made me appreciate the album more the second time I listened to the whole album. Break-ups- let alone divorces- can take you to very dark places, especially in this era, which, as she sings in other tracks, is RIFE with users and just really disingenuous people. It’s one thing to have really beautiful music- sad, happy, pretty, moody- portray her feelings, but the hard-boiled, demonic voice effect, which is played alongside her normal voice, take me to the really monstrous part of her mind, that is truly depressed about the divorce and post-marriage, post-WILD success dating. It’s really hard to think of anything ugly when listening to or looking at Kacey (she’s just absolute beauty and talent and sparkle, even in the video for “Justified,” when she’s sad), and the voice effect is the first time she doesn’t sound like an angel. Like you said, and others have said, there isn’t much anger in the album, or as much bitterness and sass as there was in “High Horse” (though “Breadwinner” is INCREDIBLE, part of me thinks that she’s singing about every eligible bachelor, post-Golden Hour success, not just her ex-husband, necessarily), and this “ugly” effect, to me, did something in its place that I appreciate. I’m still working it out in my head…

      what you said was not right nor wrong... BUT, it pretty much indicates on how ppl listen to music back then and then going to the present.... and maybe the future (which why the last parts sound more autotune-y and quite robotic because of the vocoder). And she's really smart for that. A pure art indeed.

    • @EmF95573
      @EmF95573 3 года назад +2

      I recognized the evolution, as you mentioned, of how music sounded. But out of all of the effects she could have used on the contemporary section, she chose a very demonic-sounding effect. She had many options for the “today” phase of the song that would have fit the bill- others that were prettier and less jarring- and she chose this one. I can’t help but read into it further than the obvious evolution everyone is recognizing, since it is so jarring.

    • @doremiABC123youandme
      @doremiABC123youandme 3 года назад

      @Emily Flahive another interesting aspect of that song is that it was the Chilean songwriter Violeta Parra's last song written apparently as a sort of suicide note, although it is a song being grateful for life and everything it gives you. You're right: she did have other options to choose futuristic sounds for the last phrase but they are low, almost demonic tones. It almost sounds like how life can kinda weigh on you and wanna pull you into the undertow, and the songwriter evidently got pulled by her demons to take her life. Ultimately the song is still so beautiful, at best in the context of life maybe peace can be made from something that sounds so scary? I love how this song gives so many layers

    Yoooo I definitely wanted some rage too out of a break-up album lol you know the five stages of grieving or whateverrr but oh well I guess breadwinner is as angry as Kacey gets or as much as she's willing to show. It wasn't what I was expecting so I need more time with it, but my favorites are definitely breadwinner and there is a light. The ending.. as you would say not sure I'm "super keen" on, but alas I'm reckoning.

    With reference to the cause of her divorce, there’s not been a lot explained. They both stated that it was a mutual divorce and that they both just weren’t happy. There were rumors that went around that her ex-husband wasn’t very happy with her level of success after Golden Hour. He’s a country singer too but he’s not had a lot of success.

    • @zachthearcher5392
      @zachthearcher5392 3 года назад +1

      On the other hand, a number of the songs exist to allow the story to transition. The first set of songs she wrote were likely to help her express her feelings and healing and anger and sadness. The second set of songs were likely written after she realized that she could stylize the album to act as a story. Songs like Camera Roll and If This Were a Movie… existed for this purpose. The first five songs can sound weird because of the fact that she’s writing about being in love after having already been divorced. So I’m sure writing them wasn’t necessarily her easiest task.

    • @zachthearcher5392
      @zachthearcher5392 3 года назад +2

      I think the most important thing is that 80% of this album was purely written to express her emotions and heal. So like they weren’t necessarily written to impress people. If her followers love the music, amazing! If not, that’s okay because ultimately the music is written for herself.
