Lyrics can shape and influence basically any musical parameter that is important in Songwriting. In the song Motion Sickness by Phoebe Bridgers, I found that the lyrics are responsible for creating so many smart details in the music. These details prevent the music from getting boring and helping it stay fresh.
Another thing that I found in this song is the smart harmonic framework that creates a lot of tension between the different song sections. You can check out my full analysis below!
And the song is truly beautiful!
