I think her letter is beautiful and I'm so glad she is putting all her feelings out there. This album sounds exactly the way she described it in early 2017. I knew the water theme would be about her feeling like she was drowning. I'm so excited for this single and album and the strong vision she obviously has for this era.

Is anyone concerned about the amount of God she talked about...in the About section : “God, help me keep my head above the water”. Or how it brought her closer to Him..... Don’t Christian Mingle me Av😩 I'm not worried. I think it's a normal when you're close to death to think of God. Remember Avril grew up Christian and singing in church, she also said she'd go back to her roots. I'm not super religious and neither is she but it feels even more real. It's normal for the song to relate to spirituality. She's not gonna be worshipping God in every lyric either. It's about her struggle and how she coped with it. I don't think it's something to be concerned about.

Maybe I didn’t appreciate fully just how sick she was/is. 🙁

Wait so Head Above Water is not the official name of the single? Now the air bubbles in the insta pic made sense. HAW is the official title of the single

I don't have problems with lyrics like those in "Falling Fast" - "God, I hope this lasts". You know, when she's not actually talking to God, but just wants to emphasize something... when you could replace "God" with "damn" or something, you know what I mean? But I wouldn't like her to sing stuff like "and then He showed me the way". That's just too much for me personally.

I guess it'll be subtle, like a spiritual approach to it, I don't know how to explain myself but I'm sure it won't be like that

Maybe I didn’t appreciate fully just how sick she was/is. 🙁 It's not so much of how sick she was (Lyme can be a rather difficult disease, but its far from 'cancer' level), its the emotional toll that all the uncertainty, nasty symptoms and other stuff that gets to you. I personally have a condition that is ultimately just an annoyance most of the time, but the emotional toll of months upon months of not knowing what you have, while suffering the symptoms day by day is what completely crushes you. I think I came out a different person on the other end, as silly as it may sound.

I'm glad she came out and explained that even when they had started working on the album she was still spending most of her time in bed through 2017
