She said from Whatever by Gaslight
She Said is about how it is often easier to get perspective on someone else’s life than your own, and how we judge ourselves far more harshly than we would judge others. The piano rhythm in this track has it bouncing along in joyous abandon, it serves as an antidote to the previous tracks on the album. The lead guitar in the intro gives it a definite radio friendly sound, overall the musical elements of the song are cleverly melded together in a harmonic collage that makes it very easy to listen to. As in Ivan’s previous album Dirty Lie it shows a lighter side to Ivan’s songwriting. She Said has classic Australian rock and pop elements, and 70’s and 80’s influences, while clever use of cello in the verses gives a contemporary feel.
