The bridge is the song’s climax, and tension starts to build as Jordan questions and confronts her lover. Jordan’s vocals are at the forefront of the song, and the guitar and drums almost blend together to provide the bed for her voice to fall and lean on. The chorus is an explosion typical of your first love, when you think things cannot and will not ever be better than what you’re experiencing at that moment: Don’t you like me for me? Is there any better feelingĪnd I’ll never love anyone else I won’t love anyone else I’ll never love anyone else Lush – Snail MailĬhapter one is “ Pristine“, the high energy, sunny start to a love affair, Jordan’s unapologetically honest lyrics criticising party culture and declaring her endless love give this song an overwhelming sentimentality and honesty. It’s the introductory credit sequence to Jordan’s coming of age romantic movie, showing us snapshots of the places she will take us to while telling her story, hinting at where it will end, and presenting us with our main character’s voice. “ Intro” is the perfect encapsulation of the journey the album takes you in, trapped in a little over a hazy minute. She’s the perfectly imperfect leading lady for this story. She loves selflessly and unapologetically, but is also not one to hold her tongue or avoid conflict. She navigates her emotions with an uncharacteristic boldness, diving headfirst into love and giving in to the deepest of feelings. Lindsey Jordan, the woman behind Snail Mail, is a warm, complex protagonist.

If Snail Mail’s debut effort Lush (released via Matador Records) was a movie, it would mix the intimacy and vibrant youth of John Hughes’ suburban stories with the darker undertones and inevitable disappointment of indie romances like Like Crazy. The story of young love can be told one thousand times, but few artists are capable of transcending this narrative and creating something truly meaningful and unforgettable – Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail can, and with Lush, she did.
