“butterflies” is kinda the skeleton key of sorts to golden hour for me in that it really should be a chintzy, grating song but there’s all these little production flourishes and an overall grace and lightness of touch throughout that make it not just tolerable but enjoyable for me. it’s still prob in the bottom 3 or 4 on the album if i was ranking but it’s the one i look at and say “i should hate this but they were so locked in that it really works”

"Love Is a Wild Thing" is the best
we could poll the album(s)
― corrs unplugged, Wednesday, 15 September 2021 07:19 (two years ago) link
Butterflies is a bright blissful moment and rather in the top 4-5 for me - if it makes any sense to rank songs here. I think it takes talent to make a song so simple and striking, and you really need the voice if you bring it in the spotlight with so light an instrumentation. A little bit like Newsom's having Easy and '81 to open HOOM.

There was a good Switched on Pop about "Butterflies" that talked about how the production mirrored the lyrics in a bunch of subtle and creative ways.
@Josh, don't know how I missed that...we (and probably half of the audience) got to do the meet and greet in Milwaukee, which is a fun little time capsule to look back on.

lol not "Joe's Pub," here it's just "Joe's on Weed," iirc, my bad. Only time I've been there. Right by Improv Olympics (I think?) and a few gentlemen's clubs.

i like this album and think it's probably one of her better ones (not that any of them are awful)
― dyl, Saturday, 25 September 2021 23:29 (two years ago) link
She's on SNL tomorrow night, FYI.
After a few more listens this is easily my least favorite of her albums (the others are all As in my book), but I very much like a lot of the second half from "Breadwinner" on and appreciate that she had the opportunity to really step out into a bigger pop star role and do something much bigger and bolder and gave us a fairly understated record.

To be fair, Willie Nelson did one of these a decade ago. Did Ozzi call him a sell out too?

Y'all should be ashamed to question Kacey - everyone knows non-profits like Chipotle are all that's left to save America's farmers.

Remember when RZA partnered with Chipotle to launch "SAVOR.WAVS, an Immersive Musical and Visual Journey into Chipotle’s 51 Real Ingredients"? Remember how "As the creative visionary behind SAVOR.WAVS, RZA composed sounds using various instruments inspired by each of the 51 real ingredients Chipotle uses to make its food"? I'd love to hear what Ozzi thinks about it.
― Indexed, Tuesday, 16 November 2021 20:08 (two years ago) link
lol, I don't care that she did this, I just think it's funny to think of Kacey Musgraves covering Coldplay in a Chipotle (I mean, @ChiptoleTweets) ad (I mean, "short film") meant to raise awareness about family farms. It scans like a parody.

remember when frank ocean agreed to sing a song for chipotle but then pulled out at the last min bcuz their logo was on the ad and so they sued him for their money back and got fionna apple to do it instead? i guess kacey is in good company

i say this not out of some sort of anti-corporate, anti-chain position - though i am very much both of those things, i also eat McDonald's sometimes and Pizza Hut occasionally and Jimmy John's despite its big-game-hunting asshole of a founder or whatever - but I have *never* had anything that tasted good at Chipotle.
what am i doing wrong?

Get the salad, with 2x chicken, rice, no beans, corn (no salsa), light cheese, and 2 dressings. Chips and guac on the side.
― heterologous booster (morrisp), Wednesday, 17 November 2021 00:15 (two years ago) link
^forgot to say - add fajita veggies (that's important).
― heterologous booster (morrisp), Wednesday, 17 November 2021 00:28 (two years ago) link
xxp You may not be doing anything wrong, they salt the shit out of everything. I would get the salad with ONE serving of chicken on top of the rice, corn and cheese just because the lettuce and everything else will help alleviate the saltiness of the meat, and get a large drink to help wash it down.
To be fair, Chipotle is a huge upgrade over Taco Bell, but you're better off going to a real Mexican restaurant if there's one nearby.

I don't know folks, this started out mocking Kacey but now we're genuinely discussing Chipotle menu items. Somewhere out there is a VP of Marketing who deserves their bonus.

Here's some anti-marketing: Never go into a Chipotle after 7pm. It's bad news.

I forgot about this, but the very last time I went to the local Chipotle in Chicago, I saw this fly land in the chicken. I told someone working there, and she misunderstood and said, "oh, you want chicken?" and immediately stirred it up, essentially burying the fly in there. I was like "NO NO NO!" I tried explaining and even though they didn't understand, I managed to get them to remove the chicken tray. I didn't see them throw it away though, they did it with intense skepticism, so for all I know, they put it back after I left. I never went back because all I can think about after that was eating a burrito with a fly in it.
― birdistheword, Wednesday, 17 November 2021 02:12 (two years ago) link
At least it wasn't a factory farmed fly...

Not a fan of multi-tracked vocals but it's a pretty tune and am relieved to hear a pivot back to acoustic guitars and cheeky, authentic lyrics.

I like the text painting with the "I found a deeper well" melody descending and how the chorus transitions into those gentle instrumental passages. Rather understated for a lead (title track) single.
