Cool video/song, definitely sounds like the guitar was pulled from Smashing Pumpkins- Disarm.

Not a complaint though, love that song and this riff was different enough that it seemed more homage than anything.

I've also seen comparisons with acoustic version of Everlong

Liked this single much more than the previous! And that pastel dollhouse aesthetic of the MV is amazing, giving off vibes of Wes Anderson and Melanie Martinez

I could see that as well. Guess it’s like the Ed Shereen lawsuit where there is a finite amount of riffs on a guitar, and its what you do with it.

I didn't even pick up Wes Anderson but you're absolutely right!

I have no idea but the blood yarn freaked me out

I've always felt that Olivia really puts her real emotion into her songs. I really feel like I'm right with her most of the time feeling the same things
