I wish I'd written down exactly how she put this - music that fit, music that would hold it, something like that.
I love that: music that would hold it.
And yes, I feel so strongly what you say about finding the right story to contain something--an image, a character, a concept, a line of dialogue, a place. Jewelers talk about getting the right setting for a gemstone. If you put a real diamond among a bunch of rhinestones on a leather jacket, well, that would be a cool leather jacket, but the true specialness of the diamond would be missing. I end up not writing so many things because I can't find how to place them.
And this is amazing that she's releasing another album! She definitely hasn't been diminished by 2020.
