    as much as i want Lizzys artistic growth, yet I wish her music to remain shielded from the mainstream spotlight, its so special and intimate😭😭

      If nothing else, she seems like an artist who refuses to compromise her standards so I doubt we’re gonna get Lizzy’s “sellout mainstream” era

      Honestly I don’t get why people say things like they wish their fav artist doesn’t become mainstream like-
      Why wouldn’t u be happy that such a artist that u think is great is getting the recognition they deserve?
      U should wish for talented ppl to get more love if anything

    I'm gonna use a brazilian metaphor to describe Lizzy as a songwriter: "Mão cheia." The translation would be "handful" and in the best way possible. When someone is so good at something, it's like you grabbed a handful of your favorite candy. Or a handful of greatness in something. Lizzy is a "handful" of a songwriter. You can tell when she talks about her writing that so much of it comes instinctively and that's the mind of someone who is used to think as a musician, composer and songwriter. You're thinking about music subconsciously so you can't even tell that you are and then something beautiful "appears". Older is a beautiful metaphor for so much of life that comes and goes and uncertainty is the only certain thing. I'm also a big fan of her other single "I Guess". It translates beautifully the mind of a hopeless romantic. Much love to Lizzy, always.

      This was such s beautiful and wise take, because just by me listening to a few of her songs, I can tell she's is exactly how like you described. She's definitely going places by following her heart and instinct, and is a great role model for people who want to be like her. I aspire to be a handful just like her as I get older. Oh and I'm gonna use thst phrase more: Mão cheia. Definitely my new favorite thing to say ❤

    Just listened to the entire new album. So beautiful, so sad, a true work of genius and work of art by a genuine superstar. Afterward I just wanted to give you a hug and reassure you that the love you want and need will find you when you learn to let it. I hope and believe in your ultimate happiness and thank you for giving us so much of you. We love you.

    It's practically a given these days that the Genius videos have artists singing their songs in the cringiest a capella style. But here comes Lizzy making a fool of all the other folks who've sat in front of the yellow background and sung their song, because this is an album quality performance.
