I am watching this video 4 years later, the same month i realised i need start to write my own songs and not just cover songs that i love.. so i just want to thank you for this..its never easy share feeling, specially nowdays.. but now i feel i can give it a try =D
The song was very nice, you have the attitude of being honest in writing and singing the song. Thank you for your inspiring message, Ms. Marielle Kraft.
OMG I ONCE SENT ONE OF THOSE BOXES WHEN I FOUND A CERTAIN SOMEONE WITH A CERTAIN SOMEONE ELSE. Silver lining through eventual forgiveness, became friends with her and her future husband! He was actually a nice guy and honestly she was better off being with him!
I’m not looking for a song that tells me about you. I’m looking for a song that tells me about me and my world and makes me think you get me. That’s where the connection comes in. Great breakup songs are like The Chain or Go Your Own Way. They’re universal. Or Don’t Speak. I can relate to those songs. I can’t relate to getting a box as part of a break up. I’ve never had that happen to me. It’s too specific. But I can relate to I’m Just A Girl because it’s still about the human experience of being trapped in a bad relationship. It has a universal element. All of those songs are honest, brutally so, made all the more honest by their poetry, which can only be found when you step away from literalism. And they make me want to know those artists far more than navel gazing lyrics.
It’s a good point. I still liked the song. And I’m much older, never got a box, but I can relate to the pain and trying to move on and then being blindsided by an unexpected restimulator. The detail of the writing in the corner of the box even got me, despite never getting a box….
I agree with Kate’s comment. Watch songwriting videos with Pat Pattison and you’ll hear him repeat the phrase “my words are full of your stuff.” He means that we should be specific with our details (generic songs don’t connect) yet the emotions we’re expressing should connect with the listener, and activate their own experiences. I’ve never received a box either but I’ve experienced loss and let-down; her lyrics tapped into those memories for me.
As a writer, you’re correct about the 2am writing sessions. It’s the only time I have alone!

Nice
That was beautiful. How come I'm just now hearing about you?
I knew I heard the influence of J.M. in your music!
J.M. meaning Joni Mitchell or John Mayer?
@@Noir0rioN I think they meant Julia Michaels
