In my feelings listening to the chorus of "Dava"! <3 This is such a fascinating read and this paragraph just *nails* the specific wonder of great pop songs:
"I thought about how great pop songs are a magic trick of specificity and universality. Their details are vivid and memorable (think of the scarf in Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well,”) but the emotions expressed are enormously relatable."

TY! And I love how you describe it as "the specific wonder of great pop songs," that's a perfect way of putting it.
I love the detail about vow-renewal ceremonies, especially because I don't watch these shows enough to have known this was a thing!
That's good to know! It could be easy for me to assume that something like this is well known, but obviously not :)
I adore Opal + Nev and Dava! Thank you for this peek behind the curtain 💕✨
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed😊
I spent years devising fake movies in my mind. I can never figure out this entirely-bizarre interest.
