“Underdressed at the Symphony” is out March 1st on Secretly Canadian and available now for pre-order.
“Feeling Good Today” is straightforward: Simple guitar, piano, and autotune. Lighthearted and self-aware with a surprisingly sticky melody. Webster’s favorite song on the record, and the one appearance of autotune on “Underdressed at the Symphony”, as Webster sings an airy, acrobatic melody over a sweet, ambling guitar riff. It’s a snapshot of a day in the life of Faye Webster: a to do list of what she’s planning for the day from visiting her brother, to walking her dog, to buying something dumb. Anything to stay focused on the positive while processing a breakup.
Unlike most songs on the album, Webster and her band took many swings at “Feeling Good Today”, recording and scrapping numerous takes before returning to the demo and original recordings. “The demo can’t be beat,” says Webster, as the she sings through what almost sounds like a morning inner monologue, the tiny highs and lows that carry us through.
