"Have One On Me" In Her Own Words

Here's a thread for quotes of Joanna talking about "Have One On Me" that will hopefully help us gain insight into the album.

“I don’t deny there are lots of connections to my own life with the songs, but there’s also fictions, and there’s also a bunch of subplots a listener wouldn’t be privy to. But I would say that in my life, relationships aside, there’s a lot more lightness. A lot of the narratives kept gravitating towards the physical, the earthly and the simple. This is something may regret seeing later in print, but maybe this record relates more to being a woman than the last.”
“I know it’s corny to quote yourself, but there’s a line in one of the last songs on the record that says, ‘I can pass’,” she says. “And that’s partially what this record is about, marrying the process of passing like a functional human in a social world, and navigating this vehicle of your life on earth.”
