I was there last night too!  Agree with all that has been said.  Super interesting to hear it all live but hard to fully digest all the sounds and lyrics in that kind of setting.  Early favs for me were Down To You, Favorite Kind of High, Lighthouse and My Mistake.  

This is definitely the High Road song - only difference I can remember is she changed the opening line from father to mother. 

How different was the sound? Other than her voice of course.

It felt less synthy and more rock.  Again, hard to get the full feel in a live setting but it definitely felt much rockier than this version.

Ah! Thank you to everyone who went and detailed their experience! My hype is even higher now, honestly. Chemistry can’t come soon enough 

[BravoTangoWhiskey]

From reading reviews online, it seems down to you and favorite kind of high are two to really watch out for as singles. Will be interested to compare streams upon album release if neither is released before album (although based on how mine/me are streaming I imagine we should have a second single before album release) 

[skwonderfactory]

I wonder how the backing vocals on this record are. Meaning of Life utilized them so well 

[RealityBites]

So excited she’s doing this. These are fun

I’m intrigued as to what the strategy is here, if FKH gets playlisted well, will they keep pushing mine to Hot AC radio or will they pivot earlier than initially intended? Is FKH second single or just a pre album available track? In any case, I can’t wait to hear it (and the mine remix)

[Irvine]

can’t wait for Favorite kind of high!!!

"Chemistry" lyrics

You know I’m pretty much the worst timing

I found out I need it as the curtain’s callin’

Can you take it all away?

Take it back to nothing

‘Cause I don’t really trust you

And I don’t trust me

 

You know, chemistry, it can sneak up on ya

One day you can turn around and feel a part of

A magic you can’t deny in the moment

No matter how curiosity warns ya

 

I can’t help but want you

Help but love you

Help me somebody

Raise my heart

I’ve been broken into

How’d you get in me

Now you’re something

That I just can’t resist

 

You know I’ve gotten really good at preyending

Sometimes I’ll even start believinga that you don’t mean a thing to me

I was dreaming

Then I close my eyes and I’m right back

 

Falling for this

Hopeless

Wonder

Feels like home

And you’re walking this way

As my words escape me

I’m paralized

By the look in your eyes

I wanna feel this forever inside

 

Come on over, hold me closer

Fall into my arms and never let go

Oh our chemistry cuts me deep

I stay away

‘Cause round you my heart breaks

 

"Lighthouse" lyrics

I need a do-over

How did we end up this way?

I’m so confused, lover

Did I mistake love and pain?

Ain’t got no shine left

I couldn’t hide it

I almost lost all my light, yeah

 

I didn’t choose sober

But my eyes can’t look away

I see our true colors

Lately we’ve been looking grey

I can’t turn back now

‘Cause you take me back down

That road that always seems

To come right back around

 

We had dreams to fly away

Now the story’s just a page

 

Like a wave you’re always crashing into me

These days are harder than they used to be

No shooting stars can fix what we aren’t

And what good’s a lighthouse when the light is burning out?

 

It’s such a shame when your wants and needs

They don’t align

Which road to take?

‘Cause your hand’s no longer holding mine

I guess that’s life

And sometimes you fight

And sometimes you walk away

In order to survive

 

There was nowhere to throw blame

Now it’s when you use my name

 

Like a chill in my bones

When you sa to me what you say to me

I thought I found home

But hidden underneath we were crumbing

No shooting stars can fix what we aren’t

And what good’s a lighthouse when the light is burning out?

 

And I feel what we were washing over me

Questioning everything all the time

And I keep all the ways that you want me to be different

Fresh in my mind

What you love, what you wanted

What you held so high

When we first met in hindsight

Were the little things that you tried and asked me to change

As if I could do that

 

Like a wave you’re always crashing into me

These days are harder than they used to be

No shooting stars can fix what we aren’t

And what good’s a lighthouse when the light is burning out?

 

"Magic" lyrics

Even though my heart is weak

Even when my arms are empty

Even if they don’t believe

It doesn’t mean it isn’t true

Even though I’m black and blue

Even when they tell me not to

Even if I end up used

It doesn’t mean I’m a fool

 

‘Cause magic takes time

And I’ve got my sights

And they’re set on you

And one day this rhyme

Might make you smile

And then I sign hallelujah

 

In the dark I see

Through the racing sea

And I’ll be ready

You aren’t worth the road to maybe

I don’t break so easily

I can take it

You unleash all your worry

All your doubt

Please believe in me

 

It’s magic, my love

The way you feel

It’s magic, my love

But still so real

 

I don’t care where you’ve been

I don’t mind your lips on my skin

I don’t know where to begin

But I’d like to end with you

I want to feel like this

I can’t forget your kiss

And every time I wish, I wish

That I could be the one you choose

 

It’s magic, my love

The way you feel

It’s magic, my love

But still so real

If your eyes on me, I start to tremble

Always you that’s been forever

Blurry lines I can’t remember

Fighting words I wanna tell you

 

And it’s hard to be

Close enough to breathe

I’m in your space

But I tread so carefully

I would dive into you deep

I would chance my defeat

All my worry, all my doubt

I am laying at your feet

 

It’s magic, my love

The way you feel

It’s magic, my love

But still so real

 

"My Mistake" lyrics

Must’ve been my mistake

Swore I heard you say ‘til your dying day 

You would love me

 

Imagination’s acting up again

You ripped out pages

Falling in love, that ain’t no excuse

Why’d it take a stranger to break the news?

I get no prize for being innocent

 

I’m waking up to cruel intentions

Feel like I’m coming off a high

I’ve got the clearest recollection

Promises etched into my mind

 

Must’ve been my mistake

Swore I heard you say

‘Til your dying day

Always

 

Oh it must’ve been my mistake

Swore I heard you say ‘til your dying day 

You would love me

 

I heard my name like music from your mouth

But just like smoke

You breathed me in and out

However much you play with the fantasy

I’m wondering ‘bout the way you’ll remember me

Tonight the home we made is just a house

 

So why don’t you come say what you wanna say

You hold her pretty close, but you’re needing space

And I won’t make a scene

Just call me crazy

 

But it must’ve been my mistake

Swore I heard you say you’d be mine always

 

Must’ve been my mistake

Swore I heard you say

‘Til your dying day

You would love me always

 

"Rock Hudson" lyrics

You were my Rock Hudson

It was real but it wasn’t

No I never saw it comin’

I was never what you wanted

 

Like a real life movie

Didn’t think it’d happen to me

Guess it didn’t

You just fooled me

 

Happiness doesn’t mean smiling when it’s your scene

You said we were doing fine as you set the whole place on fire

 

I tried everything

Turns out we can’t compete

Oh reality is never quite good as the dream

 

No I won’t dance anymore

No I won’t put on a show

And you can blame it on me

I don’t care what they think

No I won’t let you control

No I won’t be what you want

You can blame it on me

I don’t care what they think

 

From the moment I saw you

I had never thought I could choose

It was always gonna be you

Even when they told me not to

 

You were all I wanted

But now you’re gone

And what good’s a promise?

If you’re never really honest

 

No I won’t dance anymore

No I won’t put on a show

And you can blame it on me

I don’t care what they think

No I won’t let you control

No I won’t be what you want

You can blame it on me

I don’t care what they think

By the way, piece by piece

I found out my hero’s me

By the way, piece by piece

I found out my hero’s me

 

Happiness doesn’t mean smiling when it’s your scene

You make sure to keep me smiling, to keep me in between

Should I stay? Should I leave? Could I ever compete?

With the bar set so high, you could never even reach

 

No I won’t dance anymore

No I won’t put on a show

And you can blame it on me

I don’t care what they think

No I won’t let you control

No I won’t be what you want

You can blame it on me

I don’t care what they think

 

By the way, piece by piece

I found out my hero’s me

By the way, piece by piece

I found out my hero’s me
