Fire, by Waxahatchee.
This song was my 2020 Jam of the Year™, and you should listen to it. You should listen to the whole Waxahatchee record, and then you should go back and listen to her duet with Kevin Morby on a cover of Farewell Transmission, and then you should go listen to that quiet piano EP thing that I listened to on repeat in a hotel room in Mexico City (?!) in 2019 while quietly getting some work done in between the work. There’s even a Song Exploder about this track, which feels like cheating, but it’s been months since I heard it, and I’m no Katie Crutchfield.
Had to bump this one up a full step, because I am no Katie Crutchfield. This is the first time I have successfully looped a beat from the Garageband library, used the MIDI keyboard to lay down some other software instruments, looped those, too, and then played and sang along in time like a proper recording.
