People were showering this 10-minute multimedia performance of "All Too Well" with effusive praise, so I sat down and watched it.
I know I'm literally decades out of her key demographic, but I really, really don't get it.
This song is fantastic but it does not hold up under triple it's own size. Call me crazy, but I think this is a calculated play for Broadway a la Waitress!

The lyrics are pretty good. The melody is okay. The arrangement is a little dull.
I like that she took an ambitious risk and broke from the format conventions.
She's written a few other things that convince me she's a respectable lyricist. She's been all over tv for this new thing and she seems like a really weird person. Like someone who's smart enough to know how to force seeming relatable, which makes her feel not relatable at all but kind of uncanny.

Fuck me, a 10 minute tuneless rehash of Natalie Imbruglias “Torn” with some fake snow.
