Inspiration Behind Divorce Song
- Liz Phair wrote Divorce Song inspired by an awkward, undefined college relationship and a night driving through cornfields in a distinctive blue Miata.
- She focused on capturing raw, ordinary moments of tension and drama in relationships which often feel significant at the time.
Silent Songwriting Impact
- Liz initially wrote songs silently, playing guitar without amplification to keep them private.
- This affected her chord choices, as unamplified playing masks dissonance that becomes apparent when amplified.
Girly Sound Artistic Experiment
- Liz Phair recorded her songs under the name 'girly sound' as an artistic experiment to explore the authority and perception of a young female voice.
- She wanted to challenge what could be said in an innocent-sounding voice while being provocative and candid.
