Summary

A sleepy but necessary run-through of my first impressions of the 14 songs we had not yet heard on Lover. I love logging these thoughts because they tend to change so drastically as I listen more and more. Please consider this a bonus episode as opposed to a well-thought-out deep dive, as this was a last-minute decision but one I could not ignore, given I'm so thrilled with the outcome of this album. It was Lover at first sight!

0:57.4

it does it all the time.

1:00.2

As the older I get, the longer it takes me to get used to music,

1:04.1

I struggled a bit with me.
