the thing is-nolita fairytale is exceedingly catchy. Lyricaly (sp?) its not as clever as her older songs. But musicaly, its genius.
i disagree. i think her lyrics are amazing. they're simple and somtimes "simple is best". its not as innocent as atm, but its not as dark and deep as her songs on harmonium. i think the lyrics sound more accepting and pure. they simple words are describing how she feels in the simplest way she knows and is trying to communicate that to the listener.
the "pop"-y sound is just what she might seem to feel inside and thats how she can show her emotions within the song.
when i listen to songs, i see colors, so ill try and do it that way if the above way made no sense. when you listen to atm i picture colors of "innocence" like whtie, light pinks and light yellows. when you hear songs on harmonium, i think of dark, right colors like brown and red sometimes. but on nf i see a pure white and dark, rich greens. i think she's found a way in herself to express the depth of her songs by using simple lyrics.
am i making any sense? sorry if im not.
wording things isn't my strength. =)
