The track I thought was something of Joe Walsh's....

I was talking about the imagery her lyrics give off, like some of her songs give really similar themes and things so I assume (and I guess other people assume as well) that the story is connected somehow.
But I know what you mean about the chords. There's a Lindsey quote I saw where he says something like what you mentioned: "What I like about her songwriting is her sense of rhythm. It’s superb. Obviously you have to like her lyrics and her voice, but she does a lot with a very little."

I didn't know it was Joe Walsh. How weird. But it makes sense. Ugly dude, ugly music.
