Finally! Something that expresses how I feel. This song is relatable on so many levels.
"Burch’s voice is so versatile that she can sing the same phrase over and over, each time giving it new meaning. On “First Flower,” her joy in a blossoming relationship is palpable as she repeats, “You are my man,” over dreamy guitar and angelic backing vocals. On album closer “Every Little Thing,” she begins on a slower and more somber note, garnering assurance and momentum every time she sings, “I’ve worn my body down,” over sparse keys and glittering harp. The way her delivery evolves, ultimately injecting every word with blazing electricity, is both a document of her exhaustion and proof of her determination.
The album’s emotional weight doesn’t come solely from Burch’s vocal delivery; her struggles with anxiety yield nuggets of lyrical wisdom too. When she ruminates, “I hope I learn from my mistakes/I hope I forgive myself one day,” on “Dangerous Places,” she imbues deceptively sunny surf-rock guitars and lackadaisical drums with introspection and self-awareness. And on album highlight “To the Boys,” she articulates a central tenet of third-wave feminism: Women need not emulate masculinity to be powerful. “I don’t need to scream to get my point across/I don’t need to yell to know that I’m the boss,” she sings, revealing the power in quietly but firmly asserting your value in spaces that historically deemed you unworthy of respect. Though the subject is soft-spokenness, her vocals ring crystal clear, demanding that people listen." - Pitchfork, Vrinda Jagota, October 28 2018

I'm not a quiet singer
But I'm a quiet ducker
They tell me to be louder
No, I won't even bother
No, I won't even bother
That's not my style
I don't need to scream to get my point across
I don't need to yell to know that I'm the boss
That is my choice
And this is my voice
You can tell that to the boys
(You can tell that to the boys)
You can tell that to the boys
Answer, answer, answer me
Can you listen carefully?
I'm not what you want me to be and I never will
I hope you're listening still
(I hope you're listening still)
I hope you're listening still
I'm a natural blusher
Depending on the place
When you get me nervous
You can see it in my face
You can see it in my face
That's just my style
I don't need to scream to get my point across
I don't need to yell to know that I'm the boss
That is my choice
And this is my voice
You can tell that to the boys
(You can tell that to the boys)
You can tell that to the boys
Answer, answer, answer me
Can you listen carefully?
I'm not what you want me to be and I never will
I hope you're listening still
(I hope you're listening still)
I hope you're listening still
