My experiences in love have taught me difficult lessons, especially my experiences with crazy love. The red relationships. The ones that went from zero to a hundred miles per hour and then hit a wall and exploded. And it was awful. And ridiculous. And desperate. And thrilling. And when the dust settled, it was something Iβd never take back. Because there is something to be said for being young and needing someone so badly, you jump in head first without looking. And thereβs something to be learned from waiting all day for a train thatβs never coming. And thereβs something to be proud of about moving on and realizing that real love shines golden like starlight, and doesnβt fade or spontaneously combust. Maybe Iβll write a whole album about that kind of love if I ever find it. but this album is about the other kinds of love that Iβve recently fallen in and out of. Love that was treacherous, sad, beautiful, and tragic. But most of all, this record is about love that was red.
