Discography
Wonderful string arrangements on top of piano ballads like “Forever” and “Trying to Impress You” contrast with the feedback guitar-laden punk rock of “Up to Speed.” On the acoustic guitar pop songs, “Idaho” and “Homecoming Queen,” you feel the heartbreak of leaving a boy you knew for just one week at summer camp, or the absolute hollowness of the high school Football Star apologizing to the Homecoming Queen. In “Back to Sleep,” she attempts to return to a dream which was cut short by the sunrise, in order to find out exactly what she has done to the boy she once loved. And finally, in the full orchestral arrangement of “When Worlds Collide,” you capture a glimpse of inspiration mixed with reality, rich harmony and tympanis.
