*it's just amazing that your childhood idol still amazes you after 10 years*

[@juliabenford]

YESSSS that's exactly the point, it's like we evolved together, so amazing

[@YungBuckTheLabrat]

Shes currently one if my childhood idols. I'm 15 been a fan of paramore since I was about 10,but lately paramore and hayleys music has been really important 2 me

[@niandral2631]

I'm so used to Hayley being satirical, ironical, funny-serious. This is a different kind of serious. Seems to me like stepping out of the comfort zone where everything is being covered up with humor and cuteness. I might need some time to take it in but that's irrelevant. Proud of seeing this Hayley, always thought of you as a brave woman xx

[@rafaelvaliente3367]

Yeah we used to look up at her like the toughest, brave one. But being vulnerable and she's shows it to everyone. And shes not afraid. That is the supremacy of brave.

[@salemeruiz2673]

I very much agree with you.

[@larisawa]

This is exactly what I think about her right now!

[@Zamstein]

Her vulnerability is what makes her strong and brave.. it’s been there the whole time :)

Ah I like this symbolism I didnt get it at first. I just went through this, I was doing amazing everyone else around me was depressed and it was weighing on me so hard. I went from frustrated/angry because I just wanted to LIVE and they were dragging me down. I guess it sortive worked because I find myself sinking again.

[@markyp4459]

Hayley has a special aura about her. And a voice that is just nuts. There’s a note back in ‘Hallelujah’ I particularly love. Her note selection and ability to convey emotions is incredible, whether it’s the new stuff, or early days...But like many (like me when complimented) will just brush it off. Absorb it. “Some people reflect light, some people deflect it. You, by some miracle, seem to collect it”.

[@SolitarioLoneRanger]

Agree

[@tylero2112]

i've been a fan of your music career for so long and i never imagined that even a decade later i'd still be learning lessons about life/myself through YOUR personal growth. you have an incredible gift to bring people clarity and hope in any of your songs. your ideas mean SO MUCH to me and many others. thank you for your mind, your art, and for allowing your biggest strength to be your vulnerability. you set such a positive example for people in a way that isn't just roses and daisies, unlike other musicians you truly are connected to your music and it shows. thank you for being one of the raw authentic voices of our generation. you and your team should be proud 🖤

We have to give credit to Joey Howard. The bass in the whole album is just orgasmic. It is the foundation of all the musics and contrastes with Hayley's voice. The album could've easily been presented as Hayley Williams ft. Joey Howard IMO

This album is not going to be for everyone who used to like Paramore but so far it has potential to be the best work Hayley’s ever done.

“If you know love, then best be prepared to grieve” those words are so true, you may find love but inevitably one of you will die and lose the other and grieve. Not just romantic relationships either, ALL. At some point you will either live to see most of your friends, loved ones, partners, idols die, or you will die yourself and they will grieve your loss. All thoughts I’ve had myself but Hayley just lyrically expressed it beautifully.

[@Victoria-yo6pm]

Hayley said “we breathing on every song this 2020”

[@suueylamar7750]

When Hayley said “now that I finally want to live the ones I love are dying” I really felt that in my core. I’m 23 and all my life I’ve wanted to grow up so I could help my parents with their citizenship here in the US. I joined the army and once I got out I was able to do just that. Things went smoothly for my dad, but not for my mom. She was right on the brink of being able to live fully and happily here and travel back to Mexico to see my grandpa after over 13 years. Just when we thought things were headed in the right direction she was denied and not only that but my grandfather became extremely ill and unfortunately ended up passing away. She never got to say goodbye. I feel for my mom. I really do.

[@shellohween]

The maturity and sophistication of her new music is breathtaking

[@MichaelMadlock]

After finding the balance between her anger and forgiveness she found that she was becoming something new. During this painful and uncomfortable transformation there were other pains to deal with that she realized she would not escape so long as she loved others, sometimes even more than she loves herself. Death. And so her desire to die culminated in wanting to live but the irony of it all is that now that she wants to be alive her loved ones are dying. But even in that she finds the beauty of it all while still struggling to “leave it alone.” A masterpiece. I wonder what she’s becoming...

I don't know if you'll actually see this, Hayley, but I have been thinking about this for a long time and I really just have to get it off my chest. This song means EVERYTHING to me. Back in January, my mom was diagnosed with lymphoma. She was in the hospital for the entire week before Christmas while they were trying to figure out why she woke up and was temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. She was released on Christmas eve due to being in a stable condition. Then January came and we were smacked in the face with her diagnosis. Though it was an incredible prognosis, and my mother is the strongest woman on Earth in my eyes(5 kids with no drugs and an army wife), my world started to crumble. She started treatment and everything was going amazing, as well as we could hope! Then February came.. and my little brother was diagnosed with the same non-genetic cancer that my mom had, and my older brother beat a few years ago. Again, their cancer is non genetic and pretty damn rare. How does lightning strike three fucking times in the same place? At this point, my crumbling world completely fell apart. My fight with depression was starting to drag me under the floor at this point. I happened to hear this song during the hardest time in my life, when I didn't even want to live for myself, and I've never had lyrics bring me to my knees before, but your words literally floored me. I couldn't listen to this song for a long time. Every time I had the album playing, I had to skip it because it would bring me to tears. I couldn't believe how much it resonated to my situation. It felt like you were speaking to me. I can say now, after my mom defeating cancer (FUCKYESSS), This is now my favorite song in the entire world. It reminds me of how our worlds can be a living nightmare, and we are forced to face it head on, and be strong to get through things in our lives and be better and stronger because of them. Our battle is half won. Mom beat her lymphoma, and Alex, my little brother is right behind her with 2 chemo treatments left followed by 2 weeks of radiation, AND HES DONE! Again, I don't know if you will see this.. but I couldn't have the words to describe how important this song is to me at this point in my life. Thank you.

Don't nobody tell me That God don't have a sense of humor 'Cause now that I want to live Well, everybody around me is dyin' Now that I finally wanna live The ones I love are dyin' Becoming friends with a noose that I made And I keep trying to untie it Make it into something useful Or maybe hang it through a window pane Turn it into a fire escape It tastes so bitter On my tongue The truth's a killer But I can't leave it alone But I can't leave it alone But I can't leave it alone You don't remember My name somedays or That we're related It triggers my worry Who else am I gonna lose before I am ready And who's gonna lose me It tastes so bitter On my tongue The truth's a killer But I can't leave it alone But I can't leave it alone But I can't leave it alone But I can't leave it a- If you know love You best prepare to grieve Let it enter your open heart and Then prepare to let it bleed It tastes so bitter The truth's a killer But I can't leave it alone But I can't leave it alone But I can't leave it alone But I can't leave it alone But I can't leave it a- But I can't leave it a-

I found this song right when it came out, which was 3 days after my dad lost his battle with cancer and I watched him pass. This song lanced a wound I didn’t even know was festering for a long time. I feel like this song helped me heal and understand my own mixed up feelings. I’m glad she created this piece of art.

[@ronstoppable5659]

I love how Hayley broke into the mainstream with an upbeat “steal your boy” anthem and now she’s making music like this, such an incredible artistic evolution

[@gergelyvasas]

Recently I started having these thoughts that my parents are not gonna be here with me forever, and this song brought these feelings up again, so now I'm crying.

Better to realize before it's too late. Try not to let it drag you down and take the opportunity of time you still have with them to learn and share all the love. Life can be beautiful.

[@outerdimension7276]

The lesson is not "be afraid of what you can lose". Is actually "be always aware of what you have right now".

[@MCkeetch]

"If you know love You best prepare to grieve Let it enter your open heart and Then prepare to let it leave" That is the most beautiful and relatable lyric I've heard in a long time. She isn't being cynical, she is being honest. If you truly love somebody; related or not, then you are prepared to smile and be happy with them, or to cry and be sad with them. You are to be empathetic and accept every good and bad that may come, and love them regardless. That's just my opinion though 🤔

[@wojo4hitz]

I think she means that if you really love someone, it's going to hurt when they're gone, because everyone someday will be gone.

[@kavery1269]

I've grown up with your music, and I'm grateful for it, since it has always been a source of comfort and company for me, as it has always fit with what I go through in my life (especially after laughter and what we've seen of this solo work). Thank you for sharing your art with the world, God bless you.

[@bloodytears610]

A beautiful song about grief and all the fears that encompass losing those we love. As a mortician I’ve witnessed so many forms of grief and the most important thing to do is to find ways to heal from that pain. Thanks Hayley for sharing your healing with us.

I can’t help but think of how deep her pain was (or still is) and how smart she is to make it into this beautiful art. 🙌🏼

[@lainoh9578]

These songs truly gain a whole different meaning once you've listened to Hayley's interviews about them. The pure raw vulnerability and honesty that she speaks with has transformed these songs totally. It's no longer about whether the song "sounds" good, if it's catchy or what you would expect a Hayley Williams song to sound like. There's no more comparisons with Paramore and this whole "oh, I miss the old Paramore" bullshit. Knowing the stories behind these lyrics changes everything. I admire this woman so much more now. She is amazing and so so inspiring.

[@Sam-cr5wn]

[@thecreativemillenial]

As a fan of all of Paramore's work, one of the things that I admire Hayley Williams for is her willingness to try new and different things. Being a fan of hers helped me to overcome this negative close minded attitude that I had in regards to music, which tended to annoy a lot of people. I had a sort of rock/metal supremacist attitude and it made me come across as a douche. Hayleys attitude changed my heart and mind and made me a better person as a result

[@NabilahSafira]

Seeing her musical evolution from her years in Paramore (AWKIF) to this, just magnificent.
