mothsinamoshpit asked: I feel a huge sense of relief in the track. "Big fat bluebird" I think is just her looking out of her bedroom window. It's as if she's looking around, taking note of what she sees, similar to in "California," except this time she is entirely content with it.
(still talking about EMA’s ‘Breakfast’)
Definitely with you on the relief thing. However, as much as I know a bluebird is an actual, ornithological reality in North America I can’t help but think just of the little birds flitting round people’s heads in cartoons (American cartoons, so maybe you think that too, but likely not in isolation). Something something simulacrum, I guess.
Yeah, it really is a beautiful song. Sonically I mostly associate it with the classic 90s ‘slowcore’ sound, as with ‘Anteroom’, but maybe it’s not sad enough?
