I go on a little heated rant in this one at the end so feel free to skip if you wish!

I really love the context of this song. It really resonates with me since there were many times in my education where I wanted to give up but songs like this are the kind that kept me going.

Their sound is so gospel-like and they do it so well. I wonder if Clyde, who I believe does most of the song writing, has a love of gospel and soul music. It seems like that's his favorite style.

The concept put forth in the lyrics combined with the super-poppy, upbeat music would be nauseatingly cliche....if in the hands of people with less sensibility. Clyde's voice is soulful, but it seems so effortless. Very unexpected. Gracie's technical ability and incredible range makes for a healthy foil. They work well together. I'd prefer that they went with a more natural sound on the second part, rather than the electro-swing choice, but that's a minor gripe. Great song, clever arrangement, and Gracie is a cutie-pie. Clyde seems like he has a bit of Michael McDonald in his keyboard phrasing.

I noticed Gracie and Clyde are using the same kind of microphone that Rachel used in the Lake Street Dive video. I need to know what those are.

Thanks for the reaction, I'm glad you enjoyed it, especially the Acoustic version, it's really something special! They've done a lot of songs of theirs in a similar style, which they now call "Acoustic-ish" versions (since it's not all strictly acoustic instrumentation). They actually compiled all 10 of them into an album in 2024! The Gospel-style influences started with their Acoustic-ish version of their song "The Weather". The arrangement of that song included a gospel-style reprise, which ended up being very popular, so they kept doing it. The Acoustic-ish version of their song "Something in the water" was also nominated for a Grammy this year! Their Live version of Don't Lose Sight is arranged similarly to the Acoustic version. While they let themselves do whatever they want production-wise with the studio recording, Lawrence prides themselves with having absolutely NO backing tracks during their concerts, so they often have to change the arrangements of their songs in order to play them live. I highly recommend you see Lawrence live some day, their shows are awesome! Also, (you probably caught it but in case you didn't) the vocalist from Melt (Veronica Stuart-Frommer) and the vocalist from Couch (Tema Siegel) were among the background singers! As for the online controversy, I think I remember vaguely seeing some of the negativity trending online at that point. I don't have Instagram or TikTok (and intend to keep it that way) so I never really had it thrown in my face directly. Because of that I was never really bothered too much by it. I've been a fan of Lawrence since shortly after their first album released in 2017, when they blew me away opening for Lake Street Dive. It's been clear to me since that day that they're the real deal and all super talented, so I didn't pay it much mind. I think how I personally talk about music to others changed a lot over time as I gradually realized that ANY song has the potential to be someone's favorite. These days if someone is talking about a band or song I don't like, I usually say something like "It's not for me" or "I don't really dig that style of music". Music is so subjective and so close to people's hearts I don't personally see much use in being aggressively negative or insulting to others about what they listen to. I think, unfortunately, that the subjective nature of music really lends itself to negative content. It's really easy to show a clip of a song, say it sucks, and farm it for views, even if you don't know what you're talking about. This even goes for more in-depth content like the stuff from Anthony Fantano. Like you I haven't seen much of his content, but I don't like how he made an entire video making such aggressively negative comments. I find that more often than not these days there's content creators out there who just farm controversy and negativity for views because the algorithm makes it easy. I suspect that a lot of the reason the negativity of Lawrence went "viral" is from other influencers just jumping on the bandwagon because it was the popular thing to do. I do my best to actively purge that kind of content from my Youtube and other social feeds because of it. It just feels so toxic and disingenuous, especially when it comes to something like music.
