She also confirmed that the reissue will feature a new song called ‘No Thank You, I Love You, Goodbye’, which was written at the time of the 2016 album but went unreleased until now.

View this post on Instagram “‘No Burden’ is 10 years old.

I wrote these songs when I would not have called myself a musician, while I was working other jobs,” the musician shared.

“I’d write them in my head during shifts as a box office attendant, or a yearbook photo editor, or a terrible waitress, or through any of the myriad odd jobs I took to work up $195 for my monthly contribution to the room I shared with two friends.

“I’d write down lyrics on sticky notes or napkins, hum it out on my walk home, then figure out a guitar part before going to sleep.

It’s very easy to romanticise now.

I didn’t think any of you would hear them.

Maybe 50 of you? And those 50 know who they are.” She said that she “recently listened to it for the first time in years” and noticed how she “literally hadn’t found my voice” at the time.

“I sound more southern too, which is sweet.

Makes me wonder if I’ve subconsciously packed that away a bit, which would make me sad.

We only had one day to record, and if we had more time, I might’ve found my footing, for better or possibly worse,” she continued.
