Especially nowadays, who the hell actually waits years to put out new music anymore? Ariana released 2 albums within 6 months of each other and released a bunch of standalone singles just in 2019 alone. Taylor wrote a Christmas song over the span of a weekend and released it a week later. The industry is changing. With the luxury of streaming, artists don’t necessarily have to wait a year to release new music. They can release as soon as they record it. Sadly I fear Avril may never fully grasp that concept though and will continue to stay stuck in the 2000s, which is ironic because she is always writing and in the studio and I’m sure would love to put music out as soon as she writes it. She doesn’t even need to do full albums, she could just do EPs or standalone singles to fill the gaps between albums. Especially if she makes songs that don’t really fit together as a concept on a particular album. Maybe we’d stop getting all over the place kind of albums if she did it that way.

So true! She also must see how other artists are putting out music in a blink. And in that docu where you could see all of those papers with written lyrics on it she can release so much music! She also said "I'm still in the studio" (when HAW was released) so why isn't somehting coming? She can be huge again if she uses the streaming correct and releases music sooner!

She could even do something somewhere in between. Imagine if she released something like a 3 song EP before the Euro/Asia leg of the tour, maybe perform one of the songs live. Then another 3 song EP in July/August, maybe another before Christmas and then collect them all up with however many new songs for an album. Maybe even see which songs got the best response from the EPs and only use them for the album plus some new ones. That way fans get music more often but she still gets to collect things together into albums the way she likes.

I wouldn't mind even just one new song to kick off the tour. Could be sold digitally and made available on streaming services. Maybe even perform it like orangesky is suggesting. Could go the EP route and raise some more funding for ALF while giving fans new music. Maybe limited edition release in physical print with all proceeds going to ALF and then release it later digitally/streaming with a portion of sales still going to ALF (even if it's $1 per album). If she releases it in a timely manner with the tour and it's marketed well, everyone wins. We get new music/Avril gets to share new music, Avril can get more funding for ALF, and a little more for herself from additional sales of the digital albums. Plus the fans stay interested even if they are not going to be part of the upcoming tour.

I am happy she makes an upbeat album. HAW was quiet boring.

Here is a bit rare and unusual question meybe...
The song "Fall to pieces" from the second album has one point at the beginning which is little hazy. The part: If I had my way I'd never get over you Today is the day I pray that we make it through...
She says "if I had my way..." which means that she is over him because she didn't have it her way...but the rest of the song until the end speaks like she got back together and all is fine...it's contradictory Now either this is a small mistake in lyrics or it was assumed that the two in relationship made up and all is fine. But if there is no mistake and she is over him then the entire song up until the end speaks of how it would be if she wasn't over him...if she had her way...

Hmmm I always figured the relationship was in a rough patch. Like they are having an issue that may be break them but she doesn't want to discuss it. That moment where you just want be in each other's arms and ignore it. Maybe the relationship is about to reach a breaking point. But she also wants to know how he feels about her....actually I'm just as confused now too haha
And hey I was looking for an album to listen to. Had just started IFILWTD but I changed to FTP and am loving UMS right now.

It sounds to me like it's a way of saying "I don't want this to end". Sort of like "If I had my way, we would always be together, so I wouldn't have to get over you because you would still be here". She never wants to get over/lose him because she loves him. If they don't "make it through" that day or rough spot then she may FTP and then not "have her way". She doesn't want that, she just wants to be with him.

I don’t get the feeling they got back together at all. To me the entire song is about a relationship which is about to fall into pieces. Let‘s have a lyric breakdown lol: My English is not perfect so maybe I interpret it wrong but.. „I looked away Then I looked back at you„ As far as I understand Avril had a moment in her life where she was the one getting away from him but ended up not leaving. „You try to say Things that you can‘t undo“ Now he is about to break up or is saying things that hurt Avril. „If I had my way ... Today‘s the day I pray that we make it through ...“ If she could she would prevent the breakup but since it‘s not that easy she just hopes and prays that they make it through the hardest part of their relationship. The chorus is making it clear that Avril doesn’t want this to end and how tired she is from their situation of complaining and arguing. She just wants to sit without talking and without discussing, just sitting there looking at him and crying. Verse 2: The person Avril loves is someone really special. He can make her feel good and bring her „back under the stars“. Someone Avril would share her life with. (IF she could as we heard in Verse 1) Bridge: maybe this is the part where you get confused? You could see this in two ways. One would be that they just met and are getting to know each other but since that would be contradictory to the previous verses I‘d interpret it differently: Avril wants to start all over again but she doesn’t know how and where so she starts with the very first question: getting to know someone. Actually the bridge is pretty complex. It‘s a mixture of feelings. I get the image of how they stay in front of each and Avril is trying to start from the beginning but at the same time she‘s so confused and doesn’t know what to do that she starts screaming at him that she wants to know what‘s going on and how he feels about it. And at the end she says that she loves him. That‘s why she is fighting for their relationship.

I used to not really like HTNGU that much, but lately I have really been enjoying listening to it. It’s a fun pop song.

I had the same realization a while back about both HTNGU and RNR. I think the reason I looked down on them was because it's not the image I enjoyed of her.

I've always liked the upbeat fun stuff. It's what made me a fan in the first place.
