I don't pull my hair out trying to figure out what Chris is talking about. I see her meaning as a little more straight forward.

On the other hand, I do think there's a deeper layer and a darker strain to her words than a lot of people give her credit for. I think they're a lot less sugary than they would initially appear to casual fans who like to cheerily croon in sing song voice: "tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies."

I think her songs are mysterious, but only because people aren't listening, not because she's not explaining things exactly. For instance, SYLM, I think most people hear a guy saying he loves her, when it's really about a guy leaving. How does it feel being wooed when you know the woe is just a sunrise away?

The pulling-my-hair-out part is figuring out WHO she is writing the song to. For example, I love Little Lies, but I dunno who it's about. I do know Sugar Daddy is about no one (and her getting out her silly song in the vein of tunes like Big Balls by AC/DC) and the songs about John, but that's it.

As for the guy part, I thought it was a love song till I gave it a closer listen when I was breaking up with my ex, Tim, last year. I realized she is begging her guy to stop taking advantage of her and, in many ways, Tim did exactly that to me.

Stevie's my 2nd favorite on Tusk. Lindsey Get's my vote on Tusk. ......Actually on everything he does. However no denying Stevie's greatness on this album.....just not as great as Lindsey....yea I'm Lindsey-centric. Chris on Tusk however loses me pretty much.....save for Think about Me and Over and Over.

When I first heard Tusk, I was drawn to Lindsey and Christine's songs first. I just liked them more than Stevie's songs and she is my favorite out of the group. Overall, Tusk is an incredible album and showcased everyone pretty well. I love every song on the album except for one.

^WOAH! Haven't seen you here in awhile! Glad to know Court isn't dead, LOL.

But i agree. I was definitely drawn to Lindsey's songs first. Which song don't you like?
