You Remind Me Of A Superstar
Dear Nora “Make You Smile”
I truly love how artless the lyrics of this song are – there’s almost no poetry to it, just a clear articulation of thoughts and feelings. It sounds almost as if she’s just setting an email or a series of texts to a tune, and singing it all with a heart-on-sleeve candor, and just a tiny bit of hesitation. But I guess it’s easier to be brave and say all this in a song, especially when you can just fill the awkward silences with “ba ba ba ba.” We don’t usually get that kind of buffer in real life.
