folklore is always going to be an album that I look back on with such pride, because it was really a different, it was a stepping stone in a different direction for me. And in a lot of ways, it was like an escape for me. I started writing folklore about two days into the pandemic, so it was like, for me it was more than just an album. It was like, this imaginary world that I was going into every single day, and creating different chapters to a story, and I don’t know if anyone has noticed this, but I have tended in the past to write very autobiographical songs. Has anyone ever noticed that? Yeah, and I probably always will, because it’s fun, but what is also fun is for the first time I really kind of took a step back as the main character, and kind of took on the role as narrator, and I started making up these characters, and creating these stories, and weaving the stories together, and it was just like, I think also like a way to stay connected to you guys, because we just didn’t know anything at that point, and I think we were all looking for methods of escape, and methods to connect with each other. And there’s this story arc on folklore called the teenage love triangle, and there’s a few songs that all kind of go together, and it’s about this drama that takes place in a small-town high school centered around a girl named betty.
