  • Track five on my album is called 'Eldest Daughter'
    And this is-, it's a love song about kind of the roles that we play in our public life
    Because now, nowadays everyone has a public life
    You have a life that you portray to other people or what you portray on social media
    And then you have the you that everyone gets to know, who has earned the right to be closest to you
    And it's really hard to be sincere publicly because that's not really what our culture rewards
    People reward you for being like tough and unbothered and like too busy to care
    And you may be that about some things
    But everyone has things that matter to them and people that matter to them

    This song really kind of gets to the heart of when someone gets close enough to you to earn your trust
    That's when you can admit to them that you actually really do care about some things Writer/s: Karl Johan Schuster, Karl Martin Sandberg, Taylor Swift
