Happy Tuesday! Joining the #TTT or #ThreeTuneTuesday🤘🏻, thanks to 
I'm back to listening to Chappell Roan these days. Her recent single's the culprit. I’ve been playing it on repeat and I couldn't get it out of my head.
You probably know by now how much I admire Chappell Roan as an artist. She’s not just a great singer, she’s a storyteller. Her songs make you feel something deep. Nostalgia, longing, or that bittersweet ache you can’t quite name. I honestly can’t wait for the day she comes here to the Philippines for a concert.
Because I’m fully obsessed with Chappell again, I figured she’d be perfect for this week's Three Tune Tuesday.
🎶 The Subway
It's just another day
And it's not over 'til it's over
Oh, 'til it's over
It's just another day
And it's not over 'til it's over
It's never over
Chappell sang this one live last year, but it wasn’t officially released until now. I’ve been waiting for it for months and it’s finally here! TikTok has been flooded with clips of it, and some people even misheard “she’s got a way” as “she’s got a wig” which still makes me laugh 🤣
The Subway hits deep. It’s about the lingering aftershocks of heartbreak, like when the person is gone, but their presence still haunts you. That moment when “she’s got a way” turns into “she got away” is pure perfection! I looove the build up and sudden turn. Huge shoutout to Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo’s producer) for co-writing this with Chappell.
🎶 California
Come get me out of California
No leaves are brown
I miss the seasons in Missouri
My dying town
Thought I'd be cool in California
I'd make you proud
To think I almost had it going
But I let you down
This one’s from The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess album, and I feel like it’s so underrated. On the surface, it’s about longing for home, but the more you listen, the more you realize it’s also about chasing dreams and feeling like you’ve let people down along the way. As someone who studied Literature, I can’t help but love how Chappell writes lyrics that open themselves up to multiple interpretations.
🎶 Picture You
Do you picture me like I picture you?
Am I in the frame from your point of view?
Do you feel the same? I'm too scared to say
Half of the things I do when I picture you
I’ve said it before, but this is one of my favorite things about Chappell, her lyrics are layered and open to different meanings. Picture You is the kind of song that makes you think about the person you just can’t get out of your head and wonder if they’re thinking of you too.
Have you listened to these songs yet? Which one hits you the hardest?
