Olivia Rodrigo

It's, like, six songs and it's purple and it's, like, that's when, like, the doubt creeps in and then the cure.

It's, like, you flip the record and it's the cure and it's sort of, like, the...

unraveling as we say of, of, um, this narrative.

And, uh, so yeah, I was really happy with the way that it turned out and sort of, sort of after the fact, we've already written like the first, like maybe six songs of the record and writing the more like sad sort of decomposed, um, uh, songs on the record.

We, we kind of like, uh, post-mortem kind of went in and changed things and, and sort of made it a whole body of work rather than, um, you know, like little moments.

Is there a specific line or stanza in one of the first songs that you remember being like, okay, I really need to reframe this.

I really need to deepen this.

Is there something that sticks in your mind?

Yeah.

I mean, like the Honey Bee lyric, like having Honey Bee, Honey Bee is one of my favorite songs on the record.

And then having it also tying it back into the last song, I think was really nice for me to just sort of made it feel more like, I don't think that it's a...

It's not a concept album.

I think that's doing a disservice to actual concept albums, but I think it's like a capsule type of a thing.

And so like little things like that or changing purple or putting that little honeybee thing kind of... Towards the end of the process, maybe we feel like, okay, it's really an album now and it's really telling this like one story.

That's a good question.

I mean, I think I always knew that I didn't want it to be... Like, even Stupid Song, to me, I was really inspired by this book, Simple Passion, by Annie Arnaud.

It's, like, this... She's having this affair with this person, and she's not quite happy.

She's kind of just going insane.

Like, everything she does, she's reminded of this person.

The longing, like, overcomes her.
