โMaybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters ~ John Greenโ
[Well, it also doesn’t stop, but where does it go? Like, we’re still having that feeling, but what is it now?] Yeah, so the idea is, you know, please picture me before I learned civility. Like, I used to scream anytime I wanted. Obviously, you know, we can’t be throwing tantrums all the time and we learn that that’s not the right thing to do, but there’s something lost there too.

“One fun thing about rerecording Love Story is that I really wanted my touring band to get a chance to to play on this version because you know, they spent, a lot of them spent years playing this song over and over again, so it was really important to me to have my band who have toured with and shared a stage with for so many years playing on the record. ut we also have Jonathan Yudkin, the original fiddle player, we’ve got Caitlin Evanson in the original backup vocalist, and I think it’s really really great that it’s a combination of the originals and people who have been sweating on stages with me for over a decade playing on this album.”

“Lover self-consciously summed up the first 30 years of her life, bringing all her musical passions together. But on Folklore, she leaves her comfort zones behind. It sounds like she figured she wasn’t going to be touring these songs live anyway, so she gave up on doing anything for the radio, anything rah-rah or stadium-friendly. She just made some coffee, sat at the piano, and let her mind wander into some dark places. You can picture the candle on her piano flickering as the wax melts over her copy of Wuthering Heights and another song rolls out.”
