You wanna step into my world
It’s a sociopsychotic state of bliss
You’ve been delayed in the real world
How many times have you hit and missed?
Your CAT scan shows disfiguration
I want to laugh myself to death
With a misfired synapse
With a bent configuration
I’ll hold the line while you gasp for breath
You want to talk to me?

George Ezra – “Hold My Girl”
Aside from a well-meaning, poorly-executed speech at the ‘97 MTV VMAs, I’ve liked just about everything Fiona Apple has ever done.
But goddamn, her theme song for The Affair has buried itself in my brain deeper than anything of hers since Not About Love.
Fair enough. I’m sorry for erroneously naming your song, Buckcher— I mean late-career Aerosmi— I mean, Hinder.
Bear in mind, you’re talking to someone who, as a kid, was convinced that an old Kenny Rogers song referred to “four hundred children, and a crop in the field.”… Read the rest “Ahem .. it’s “lips of an angel”, not kiss from an angel 🙉”
Dear Apple Music:

What’s next? Nickelback? Creed?
Now I have fucking Kiss From An Angel banging around in my head like a babelfish that translates everything into crap.
Why do you hate me, Cupertino?
Am I not pretty enough?
Is my heart too broken?
Do I cry too much?
Am I too outspoken?
Don’t I make you laugh?
Should I try it harder?
Why do you see right through me?
I’ve mentioned a couple times that Lana’s discography is the blog’s soundtrack, but if it had an actual theme song, it would be Not Pretty Enough by Kasey Chambers.… Read the rest ““Not Pretty Enough” – Kasey Chambers”
Did you make up your mind?
When did you decide to let me down?
When was the turning point?
When you put out your joint and you laid her down
She’d take off your tie
With a smile, on knees
I bet she looked pleased with herself
And I’m furious… Read the rest ““Furious” – Jade Bird”
My whole body shakes
I’m furious
My mind slips away
How could you do this?
Back in 2012, I had no intention of ever listening to a single note of a Lana Del Rey song. I’d read all the mocking headlines from her debut appearance on SNL, and had completely written her off.
But I still had an Entertainment Weekly subscription back then, and as I flipped to the music reviews, my eye was drawn to the piece about Born To Die.… Read the rest “What are your thoughts on Lana Del Rey?”
