In Their Words: “I don’t think anyone would describe me as a bleak person, but I do feel like my capacity for sadness — depression, sometimes, and sometimes just garden-variety melancholy — has always been somewhat overgrown. I find my various sadnesses to be infinitely interesting when I’m writing, and deeply boring and unhelpful at almost all other times. To write a song is to externalize a feeling, so that I don’t have to carry it around in my daily life. ‘Easier’ also has the benefit of catharsis: Singing the last section feels a little like howling at the moon.” — Juliana Daugherty
