The album is most certainly been for me ‘a comfortable friend’! Thank you Liz and thank you host for the interview - really enjoyed it!
Liz is so interesting, not to mention one of the best pop songwriters working today. A bit too humble me thinks. We want to know what your thinking, do not apologize for your long answers. Complex answers take a minute. We love you Lizzy!!! And great interview!
Damn fine lyricist
“Hours of phrases I've memorized
Thousands of lines on the page
All of my notes in a desolate pile
I haven't touched in an age
And I can burn the evidence
But I can't burn the pain
And I can't forget it
How does it feel (how does it feel)
To be an expert in a dying field
And how do you know (how do you know)
It's over when you can't let go
You can't let go, you can't stop, you can't rewind
Love is learned over time
'Til you're an expert in a dying field
Expert In A Dying Field, song
She is such an amazing lyricist! I'm seriously in awe & envious of her talent & skill.

Oh it definitely does for me! _Change In The Weather_ especially is such a great song, and here's one of my "highlights"
"...felt like every road was buried under snow so I thought 'better to forget the heat of the sunlight on my skin' I can feel it coming but I'm scared to let it in..."
Love Liz - her songs and vocals are incredible. The Beths are awesome!
man imagine having tristan as your teacher that would be so epic
Hey up-loader, audio is coming through mono in left ear only. Can you re-upload in stereo?
Expert (singular) in a Dying Field.
Tell us more..!
With such good music produced by The Beths, it's a real shame that companies like spotify end up with most of the revenue.
That's one major reason why I still buy physical media from the artists that I like. Spotify is *terrible* at fairly compensating musicians for their music. (Actually, that's an understatement. They're worse than terrible.)
Swag swag swag swag swag swag swag swag swag swag swag
what's with the 10 minutes of nothingness at the end
That's how life is sometimes..!
