Dog Eared

When a musician I love is releasing an album, I usually pick just one single to listen to. This is the one I picked when Dog Eared was releasing and holy shit did it get me hyped. This song is so beautiful and so calm and it reminds me of my lovely beautiful girlfriend and us seeing Billie Marten on our second date ❤️😎

CROWN is so great. Short and sweet. I freakin love the ooooohs and the chorus and also the whole song in general in fact. I imagine this song is about her cat 😎😸

Another beautiful song and a lovely chorus! I love the what is that a saxophone? So left I’m right so into you 😎😎😁😁

This one needed time to grow but it bloomed a beautiful flower in my soul 😎

This one reminds me of those long walks I’d take every Thursday after I moved cities. I would have this god awful class and I’d walk around smoke three cigarettes and listen to this album and it was freakin beautiful. I always ran back to mine to pee though 😎

This one is so fuckin beautiful it’s followed me endlessly since it came out. My favourite from the album by far. I remember my first listen I said “she better play this one live” and she did and it was heavenly, thank you Billie Marten it was awesome! 😎

This one is also so beautiful I love it so much. I’m noticing a pattern here. Better than the Shivaree track of the same name? Don’t know. Two great sides to the same coin or some other simile 😎 Always reminds me of walking down from campus, especially at the turn off where you go right past the Indian place. You know the one.

This one took a while to sink in too but I’m glad it clicked. It was probably on those long walks I took at night. The chorus melody is absolutely incredible and lovely and so is the part at the end - “the pavement’s wet, my feet are cold…” also reminds me of my lovely girlfriend ❤️😎

Always wondered if someone else was singing on this one or not. Yes - Núria 😎😎 I wrote the freakin Wikipedia page about this album I know my stuff. This is a lovely song too well done BM!

This one is so great as I have said about them all (I’m not good with words). This song genuinely feels like being on a swing (like Sleater-Kinney’s “Rollercoaster” feels like a rollercoaster). You get it? It’s a great song. She made us sing it to her live. I wasn’t opposed! 😎😎
