Instead of focusing on the darkness, she saw this as an opportunity to transcend fear. The song’s perspective of finding meaning is also reflected in Ashe’s response to the pandemic, the widespread fear that it’s engendered, and the quarantine. That’s the moral of the story, babe (From “Moral of the Story” by Ashe/Ashlyn Rae Willson, Casey Smith, Noah Patrick Conrad and Finneas Baird O’Connell.) Even now, more than a year since its release, it continues to amass many millions of streams per day. The initial response was huge, and kept expanding. Immediately after the film’s premiere, Ashe and her song were launched into the streaming stratosphere and beyond, as millions sought it out. I Still Love You, it was used not as background music, but out front: The main character, Lara Jean, sings the song directly to the audience, facing the camera.
ASHE IM FINE LYRICS MOVIE
Featured in the Netflix movie To All the Boys: P.S. It’s got the perfect fusion of seriousness and fun.
Which might be part of the reason that “Moral of the Story” has so resonated at this moment of time. Now with so many scared, suffering or already gone, the yearning for meaning is greater than ever. Yet that quirkiness-which is melodic and rhythmic, and alive in the phrasing and delivery-adds a unique dynamic to the song, which is exactly the thing that makes you want to hear it over and over.Įven before our current crisis, our culture was at war with truth, forever uncertain about what is real and true. It seems to pop up everywhere, and shares a distinction with songs by Elton John, Joni Mitchell and others, which are also infectiously heartfelt, uniquely shaped by the persona of the singer/songwriter, and somewhat musically quirky at first. Now, months since the season of its creation, the song has continued to expand in every direction. With a poignant vocal that draws you in with the intimacy of a lover confiding in you, it’s an expansively, almost hypnotic song-you hear it once, and immediately want to hear it again. Uniquely dynamic, the song is conversational and theatrical, sad and funny, romantic and realistic all at the same time. The inevitable question would come: “So, what is the moral of this story?” It taught us all to look for meaning, even when things go wrong.Īnd so, with the world going so wrong right now, Ashe’s infectiously compelling anthem, “Moral of the Story,” is the perfect song for now. The moral of the story-It’s a concept we learned as kids, after being told some fairy tale that got fairly grim.
With the release of her long-awaited new single, “Till Forever Falls Apart,” created in collaboration with Finneas, it’s a good time to reflect on the origins of the expansively quirky and unforgettable song, “Moral of the Story,” which placed Ashe on the Seriously Great Singer-Songwriter Map forever.
