– not really answering this forums discussion, but going off the other comments – I agree with the totally different views on relationships and love among these characters. I will say, the one thing they all do have in common is that they eventually all learn who they are individually and what they want, (some figuring it out quicker than others) and do not conform to a “one glove fits all” type situation. They all found themselves and realized what they want/need when it comes to love and relationships.
At one point Daisy said “Love is supposed to make you lighter not heavier” – speaking to her perception of what she thought love should feel like. I think this point in her life she realized she was not in the right type of relationship for herself. She recognized her need for love and determined she needed out of the situation she buried herself in.
“Music can dig, it can take a shovel to your chest and just starts digging until it hits something.” Daisy
I felt like this entire book was a lot of raw emotion, and that the band was always digging deep for the right lyrics and meaningful songs. They wouldn’t even listen to their band members half the time for opinions because Daisy and Billy were so set on their own songs.
At one point Billy said: “You can hear the smile in her words.” He was constantly describing how Daisy would put so much of herself into the songs. You could determine her place in life based on the words and expression of them, and not on her looks or anything visual.
“It is what I have always loved about music. Not the sounds or the crowds or the good times as much as the words – the emotions, the stories, the truth – that you can let flow right out of your mouth.”
Her lyrics were her opportunity to be transparent with the world.
