She has some songs that mention America since then but it's not glamorization anymore. The song that would most closely be that would be the one-off NFR era single, Looking For America, which talked about wishing America was "back to how it was" (meaning she wishes it was a safe place again for kids and adults alike) but while that song is beautiful and one of my faves melodically from her, it was really tone deaf in its application. I actually feel like Looking for America isn’t talking about wishing things were how they were as much as wishing they were like in the romanticized version of America she used to espouse in the Born to Die/Paradise era. She says she’s looking for her “own version of America,” but it sounds like one that never really existed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
