The accompanying music video was directed by Susu Laroche.- Sharon Van Etten said of the album, “Sometimes it's exciting, sometimes it's scary, sometimes you feel stuck. It's like every day feels a little different - just being at peace with whatever you're feeling and whoever you are and how you relate to people in that moment.”
She continued, “If I can just keep a sense of openness while knowing that my feelings change every day, that is all I can do right now. That and try to be the best person I can be while letting other people be who they are and not taking it personally and just being. I'm not there, but I'm trying to be there every day.”
She added, “For the first time in my life I asked the band if we could just jam. Words that have never come out of my mouth - ever! But I loved all the sounds we were getting. I was curious – what would happen?” In an hour we wrote two songs that ended up becoming 'I Can't Imagine' and 'Southern Life.'” -
She shared on social media, “It is with great pleasure that I get to announce my new album as Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory. The first time I have ever written songs from the ground up as a band, coming into a room with nothing but an incredible group of musicians and walking away with something so special. It was a great challenge and a life changing experience for me.” - source : Apple Music
