Oct 20, 2020 · Good Woman Lyrics. [Verse 1] Well, you say what you want and you never go back. My song is a song, even buried in the black. Well, I cover my mouth and I straighten my back. [Refrain] I'm a...

You made this the title track and the first song on the album. Is it fair to call it a thesis statement for the album? CAMILA STAVELY-TAYLOR:I think it kind of is. I think when we were writing it, we realized that certain themes in it did crop up a lot of the time. The idea of trying to figure things out and trying our best to be good people and to...
The beat on this is very urgent. What came first here, the words or the music? JESSICA:The music came first with this song. It started as a piano motif, and that runs through the whole song. It’s just a three-note progression. [mimics piano notes] I wanted to do — sort of inspired by the music of Steve Reich and that kind of stuff for this. Lots of...
This is more of a heavy, lurching beat thanks to that squelching low-end sound. It’s real nasty. How’d you make that sound? And was it the foundation of the song, or was it added later? CAMILLA:Yeah, that initial loop thing was the initial seed of the idea. It’s a loop of my voice as sung through a mic into a distortion pedal and then into an amp t...
One of my favorite things about your band is the way the vocal harmonies go spiraling across the song and interacting with the arrangement. Even though it’s so musically intricate, it feels like these vocal parts must grow out of the lyrics. Is that how you tend to write? Like, you’re writing these words and then they bloom out into harmonies, or d...
“Nothing’s gonna happen with your back against the door” — what’s the idea with that phrase? JESSICA:I think it’s kind of coupled with the idea from “Next Year, Next Time.” If you’re not going to step out there into the world and try, stay inside your metaphorical room — or actually for most people in the last year, perhaps that song will ring quit...
The line “In a higher love I’ll love you now” stuck out to me, partially because it made think about the song “Higher Love.” I don’t know if Steve Winwood was on your mind when you were writing the song or not. JESSICA:He was there! No, man. It’s celestial. It’s dealing with the beyond. For us, its pretty undeniably a tribute to our mom and to tryi...
This is another one that’s pretty minimal until the end. What made you decide this should mostly be a stripped-down arrangement? CAMILLA:When I started writing it, it was just me on the ukulele, and it’s not a particularly happy song. I suppose it’s metaphorically what you might sing to yourself in the dead of night about a certain situation. A lam...
This is another one where it feels like trying to keep some kind of pent-up resentment in — keeping a measured tone, but it still comes creeping out. Like: “I could blow the fucking windows out.” CAMILLA:Yeah, I think that kind of repressed anger, and I guess kind of like resigned anger as well — being like, “I don’t even know what to do in this si...
CAMILLA:Another upbeat title for a song on this record, eh? There’s the line, “I’m sorry if I ruined the party/ And I’m sorry if all the fuss really killed your vibe” — is this about a real party? Or is this more of a generalized statement? JESSICA:Every party that I go to, I walk in and everyone just puts down their drinks and goes [makes disguste...
The keyboard is really clutch on this one too. So is the lead guitar as the song builds to the finish. It’s basically a two-chord vamp, but there’s so much going on in the music. There’s this whole world opening up there. JESSICA:I wanted it to be a band song. That one and “Failure” sit in a similar space to me in that sense. I was into War On Drug...
