14. "RE: sounds Stevie and Carole King influenced" In response to In response to 13
Yep. I’m actually listening to that song in the car now and came to post something similar.
I thought given the title and her life I thought it was going to be more of a “happy” album about her own motherhood— but I love how the opening is her processing her own relationship with her mother— and it holds much of the complexity I still grapple with in the relationship I have with my mom. I wrestle every day with the passed down trauma she gave to me, but I am also who I am in this world because of her love and brilliance.
Lol I just shared a whole lot, but that’s what the album is doing for me
