<aside> 💡 See also: Moon/Moonlight Women’s History Month Playlist statement - At the end of Women’s History Month, I wanted to make a playlist of songs and artists who made music that became the soundtrack to my life for a time, a phase, endless rides on the school bus, getting my license and driving around alone, screaming into a hairbrush and deciding ultimately that I wanted to make music too

Reputation

• Gorgeous (original lyrics) - I go through phases when it comes to love

Lover

• iHeart Lover Release Party - So, reputation was pretty much like a coping mechanism. Reputation was like going through all the stages of grief over the loss of one's reputation; kind of like throwing a funeral for something that maybe wasn't even good for you to have in the first place. In doing that, and in picking the first song and writing the first song on this album, I wanted to complete the cycle of grieving, almost, and the cycle of when you go through some drama or some frustrating stuff in your life where a relationship ends, or you're going through this turmoil in your life, there's all these phases you go through. And then, when you're really done with it, you hit indifference.
• 30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30 - Elle Magazine Mar 6 2019 - Learning the difference between lifelong friendships and situationships. ****Something about “we’re in our young twenties!” hurls people together into groups that can feel like your chosen family. And maybe they will be for the rest of your life. Or maybe they’ll just be your comrades for an important phase, but not forever. It’s sad but sometimes when you grow, you outgrow relationships. You may leave behind friendships along the way, but you’ll always keep the memories.

evermore

• Apple Music Interview: Evermore deals a lot with endings of all sorts, shapes and sizes. All the kinds of ways we can end a relationship, a friendship and the pain that goes along with that, the phases of it.
