Libby:
I love the song “Body’s In Trouble” by Mary Margaret O’Hara and the way she struggles with the body being somehow both outside you and part of you. It’s always felt bizarre to live in a culture where it’s taken for granted that many people “hate their bodies” or are striving for “the body they always wanted,” like a body has nothing to do with a self; at the same time, I think everyone is familiar with the feeling of their body and mind working at cross purposes. I get especially bogged down in these contradictions when I get on stage, the only woman up there most nights, trying to figure out what I want to wear or how I want to move. It’s a lot of damned if you do, damned if you don’t. So I feel like I’m riding a pendulum sometimes, tight skirts one night and turtlenecks the next, and all the while wondering if I’m teaching some young kid out there the opposite lesson they need to feel freer than I do when they get to be my age.

Joseph:
I think with a lot of these songs we’re talking about finding love in the middle of a lot of disillusionment about the world. Holding those two things in balance. I love how this song takes the premise of love-within-chaos a step further and talks about desire, too. Why does it feel so complicated to want something? Like, we have our desires and then on top of them, another layer of wishing we could desire something different, as if any of it is in our control! I get the image of a body being pulled in so many directions at once all it can do is collapse or explode.
