The memories were lost long ago, but at least you have beautiful ghosts.

“Geographically, I was in New York, I was in a hotel, in a room, where I had a few friends there. Jack Antonoff was there, who produced a lot of the songs on the record with me and wrote several things with me. I had my parents, I had a lot of people on the management team who have been absolutely killing themselves for six months preparing for this release. Basically, I had 20-25 people in the room, and suddenly one person - I think it was me and I was on Tumblr and one of my fans was like ‘Guys it’s on iTunes!’ – and that happened ten minutes early, and I was like ‘Guys check your phones it’s on iTunes!’ And so we all just started freaking out, playing songs on our phones. These are songs I’ve only been able to hear, just me in headphones, I’ve never been able to play them out loud on the phone for the past year or so. It was just an incredible experience, and then what happens at midnight is thee reviews start posting, because these journalists have heard the album beforehand, it gets sent secretly. Reviews started hitting and I’m like, ‘These are the best reviews I’ve ever gotten in my entire career.’ My hands were on my face, I was fully in shambles, like ‘What is going on?’ and Jack was reading Rolling Stone’s review out loud. I was like on the floor.”

No no you’re missing the best part
