But the conflict between them also produced a kinetic pop star. It\u2019s not only the title track of Abrams\u2019s latest album, but it\u2019s a defining portrait of the singer\u2014following her evolution and a changing perspective on family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Brutal Kid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Daughter from Hell\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tqs4Px2v4Dk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In conversation with Olivia Rodrigo, Abrams <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kcWa7pj4jnY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> she was \u201cbrutal, growing up, to my parents.\u201d And the track offers both an apology and gratitude to her parents for the person she\u2019s become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I was a pill, you swallowed me down.<br>They say that I got your mouth.<br>Daughter from hell, hungry and loud.<br>You made me a plate,<br>You lent me your life somehow<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, any revolt she may have sought as a child has softened with perspective. We don\u2019t know what we don\u2019t know. And though that\u2019s a clich\u00e9, it&#8217;s a clich\u00e9 for good reason. Getting older can be the great softener of domestic friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And I want your patience,<br>I want your grace,<br>I want your sugar.<br>And I want to say,<br>How much I owe you,<br>I\u2019ve loved your shoulder<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For Mom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The mantle of stones,<br>Your rosemary cloud,<br>You talk to the trees out loud.<br>With both of your hands,<br>You held up our house.<br>And down to my bones,<br>I hope that I make you proud<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, age brings with it an awareness of time. Which is to say, an awareness of mortality. Abrams here expresses admiration for her mother in particular. Now she sees the value and security and how much she once leaned on her mom physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And now I want your metal,<br>I want your goodness,<br>I want your current.<br>And I want to say,<br>How much I owe you,<br>I\u2019ve loved your shoulder<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aaron Dessner\u2019s Invisible Hand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Abrams co-wrote and co-produced \u201cDaughter From Hell\u201d with The National\u2019s Aaron Dessner. Apart from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/the-national\/bloodbuzz-ohio\">conquering dad rock<\/a>, Dessner has become a go-to hitmaker for pop stars like Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan, Ed Sheeran, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dessner has perfected the art of earthy folk sonics and modern pop touches. But he does so without leaving any fingerprints, allowing each artist\u2019s voice to be dominant and clear. It\u2019s a rare feat for a producer of his stature to avoid stamping an audible signature onto the various projects he produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, Dessner may prefer to blend into the background, but the tracks he\u2019s guided couldn\u2019t have happened without his creative instincts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Jamie McCarthy\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDaughter From Hell\u201d finds Gracie Abrams apologizing to her parents for being a kind of hell child.
