If you have a digital copy of the album, swap the tracks around on your media player. BAM you're set. Then if you want a physical copy of that version, burn it onto a disc and keep it with your original copy.

Burning it onto disc in that order isn't a bad idea, actually, thanks. (: I often do feel weird about altering track orders, however.

Important distinction because it changes the basis of the sentiment significantly: it's "I want it to stay" in Claws In Your Back

ok ok gonna post my overall thoughts:



Over into Appointments is rly beautiful and actually helps me like Appointments as a song even more (wasnt my fav single).



t/t through everything that helps you sleep is probably the reason why this wont be a 5 or even a 4.5. all are very beautiful and have some fantastic lyrics but I feel like the special lil something that was sprinkled into Sprained Ankle is missing from all of those. All of the tracks are like slightly forgettable honestly, even though after listening I know I adored parts of them. maybe I need more time.



Happy to Be Here is prob one of the best songs and the best subdued yet passionate ending. chills everytime, matches the highs of SA



Hurt Less's lyrics I think are the weakest / most obvious (seatbelt theme feels a little tacky idk). song is great though. Even is a bit unmemorable



Claws in Your Back might be the best song she's ever done and really ends the album on a strong, definitive note, which is what this album needed. the soaring melody around the 1 minute mark might be my favorite thing in music rn.



overall a high 4, slightly below Brand New, I think. still could grow though and I only feel a tinge of disappointment.
