Yeah... your guess is as good as mine.
I can't explain my turnaround on this at all, other than this song is VERY GOOD.
I know she 'wrote' it (read: nodded along) with Kathy Dennis, who is generally quite good at writing good, but most likely quite throwaway pop songs. Which is pretty much the story of my life.
And while I know in a month's time this will probably sound like shit to me, I am enjoying it while it lasts.
Long live the claw!
