Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Glory

“Glory” Sees Lindsey Jordan Singing To The Same Subject Of “Madonna” Recognizing That No Matter How They Try To Control The Relationship They Own Her. Even As She Demands That They Owe Her Wresting Agency From Them They Control Her More Than Anyone Else. She Said Of The Song It’s Like No Matter How Angry I Am And No Matter How Much I Try To Make This Something Where I’m In Control And I’m The One Making Demands At The End Of The Day I Still Would Do Anything For The Subject Of The Song. No Matter How In Control I Feel I Don’t Even Feel Like I Belong To Myself Because I’m So Entwined In This Person’s Life. The Guitar Tone And Style Is Reminiscent Of Her Debut Album Lush. “Very Angry And Upset Vibes. And It’s Similar Thematically To “Madonna” Goes Within The Same Grieving Process And Theme Of Anger. It’s Disenchanted As Fuck. It’s Like No Matter How Angry I Am And No Matter How Much I Try To Make This Something Where I’m In Control And I’m The One Making Demands At The End Of The Day I Still Would Do Anything For The Subject Of The Song. No Matter How In Control I Feel I Don’t Even Feel Like I Belong To Myself Because I’m So Entwined In This Person’s Life.“ —via Apple Music
