Relatedly, can you explain why you or why a looooot of people liked this song? I know I'm very not normal and I don't usually like what most people do. That said, I usually understand why most people like something, I just disagree.

Fast car? I don't get it. I think it's fine, but it was massively popular. Wayyyyyyyyyy more than I thought it would be by my typical observations.

    It's a beautifully-written song with a lot of emotion. It tells a unique story that is both sad and uplifting.

    It's melodically interesting and Tracy's voice sounds amazing. It has a catchy guitar riff yet it isn't repetitive.

    It's a really nice song, do you like other singer-songwriters?

    It’s the chill of the album and of course Tracy’s empathy to others. Over the tracks is my fav. It’s haunting. It was previous but given the events at the mo it’s a reminder.

    She is very soothing
