00:00It is about being a crazy bitch.

00:02This love has taken its toll.

00:05It's really weird, and it doesn't really make sense.

00:07I guess it's not really weird, it's really cool.

00:09Hi, I'm Claire Rosenkranz, and this is Music You Should Know.

00:18When I was making My Lover, I focused on the theme of a garden a lot,

00:24because a garden is a place where life, death, pruning, picking, watering,

00:28roots, and weeds can all exist, good and bad, life and death all together

00:32and still look very beautiful.

00:33That's a lot of things in my life.

00:35And I also constantly was visualizing the lifespan of plants,

00:41how things are planted and things grow and blossom and bloom

00:45and reach their fullest potential, and then they start to wilt and die

00:48and go back into the ground, becoming life for the next plants ahead.

00:53That's how I see a lot of things in my life as well.

00:56And sometimes the wilting and the death part is a very necessary process

01:00to get to the other side and produce more life.

01:03So there's a lot of nuance to that.

01:05But the garden theme was something that was a forefront.

01:14I don't think I've ever released a song like Chronic,

01:16and I think that was birthed out of a pretty tragic time.

01:22It shows a lot of different phases in my life where I would say that kind of represents

01:26the imagery of the plant like being sown and then growing and blossoming

01:32and wilting and dying and becoming food for the next life ahead.

01:34Like I would say that resembles that imagery the best.

01:37Another thing that was kind of at the forefront of my mind was making music that is timeless.

01:41I mean, I love all of my other music, but going forward, I just was really focused on wanting

01:47to make things that felt like they had longevity in my life.

01:50So even through like visuals, I wanted to use things that are timeless in my life.

01:55Timeless things in my life are like horses and the beach and the ocean and surfing and dance, ballet.

02:01Like dance was so important to me growing up.

02:04And so I wanted to incorporate a lot of those visual themes.

02:08Horses are so like so strong, so much authority, so powerful, but also so intuitive, so sensitive, so delicate.

02:16And same with ballet, very strong and but also very ethereal and pretty and as well as the ocean.

02:23It is like very glittery and gorgeous, but it can be a monster sometimes as well.

02:27I remember when I was super little, like, I remember always telling my mom like certain sounds

02:32or even like my family, like my sister's names or whatever it was.

02:35I'd always have like instant imagery and color to it.

02:38I guess there's, isn't that like synesthesia, I guess?

02:40Like I've never said that because I don't know why I've never been like, oh yeah, I have synesthesia.

02:44But I've always like, my mom was always like, wait, that's so crazy.

02:46You have like shapes and colors that come to your mind when you hear certain words or sounds.

02:50But I would say like I feel that way with the whole project.

02:52Like I could tell you what each song's color is and all of the songs.

02:57I have imagery for and colors for.

03:00I like don't really have the professional language for production sometimes.

03:04So I use like colors and swirls and shapes to explain what I'm trying to get across in the music.

03:11And my dad somehow knows exactly what I'm talking about and he can relate to Oliver and Oliver's like,

03:16and just like, yeah, puts it, it's like perfect every single time.

03:20So I feel like we have a good flow going on.

03:26Never done arenas.

03:27It was definitely like the first show.

03:30I, I like, I don't get nervous, but I remember before the very, very first show.

03:35I like went behind or like right behind the stage.

03:38And I was like, look, you can see like all the chairs and everything, the seats.

03:42And I was like, oh my gosh, that's actually massive.

03:44Yeah.

03:45I don't know.

03:46It was really fun.

03:47Like once, as soon as I step out on the stage, like I kind of forget everything and I feel

03:51very comfortable and I kind of step into a flow state pretty much.

03:56And, um, there were times where it was definitely challenging too, because you know, they're like,

04:01it's not my audience and there's like 15,000 of these people out there.

04:06And learning how to command a crowd that's not yours and also be sensitive to like what

04:12people are like willing to do and what they're not willing to do.

04:16It was just like a very like intuitive exercise.

04:19And ultimately I just made sure like before each show that I was going to have a lot, a

04:24lot, a lot of fun.

04:25Good.

04:26It was just awesome.

04:27A great experience.

04:28My favorite song to perform was both City and Chronic, both very, very different songs.

04:35City was just so fun because I was able to like run around and dance and jump.

04:40And it has like, it's very forward moving.

04:42And it felt very like, ah, I can be big up on the stage.

04:45Chronic was big in a different way.

04:47I would stand still just with like the mic stand.

04:50And that one, I feel like it was like very spiritual experience.

04:54I felt very sensitive.

04:55My dad was playing the violin and we would kind of like bounce off of each other.

05:00And that one was just like, that one's very like this.

05:04I don't know how to explain it.

05:05And like, I just feel like there's a lot of power coming from like this one, like a grounded

05:10place versus like City was very like all over the place and like big and loud and colorful.

05:17But this was like more grounded.

05:18So anyways, Chronic and City.

05:21My favorite two, Watch from Maroon 5.

05:25Instant, I mean, all of them because all of them are so nostalgic and like, I mean, hit

05:31after hit, after hit, after hit.

05:32I love This Love.

05:34This love has taken its toll.

05:37That one, because I just like listening to that one in my car, honestly.

05:40Yeah, it's This Love, One More Night, She Will Be Loved.

05:45Everything moves like Jagger.

05:47Yeah, everything, honestly.

05:53That's the only title that I wanted to change.

05:55I don't know why.

05:56It like doesn't, the title just doesn't resonate so much, but it is about being a crazy bitch.

06:00So it's honest at the same time.

06:02Like maybe eeny, weeny, miny, moe only because it's, I got eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

06:07That's the only part that like kind of sticks out.

06:10But it, I mean, honestly, it is about being a crazy bitch and being like, I don't know,

06:17just wanting somebody to still want you, even though they probably shouldn't.

06:21Like me and my best friend were talking and she was like dumping an experience of like,

06:26I still want this person to need me and stuff.

06:28And I was like, yeah, I feel like every girl goes through that sometimes.

06:30Like this one's the most chaotic.

06:32This is the most colorful.

06:33I see like a lot of dark green and like very like almost like hot pink.

06:39And it's just like kind of just splatters in your face.

06:43Yeah.

06:44There's lots of nuance to that one as well, but that's the first thing that comes to my mind.

06:48Yeah.

06:49And I'm really excited to make more music.

06:51That's my favorite part of the entire process is the creating.

06:54So yeah, I'm just so excited for this one to finally be out so I can get on to the next.

07:01Bye.

07:02Bye.

07:03Bye.

07:04Bye.
