"I-90" is a candid account of the beginning stages of adulthood - when one starts noticing and comparing their achievements (and lack thereof) to their peers'. Touching on the complexities of various relationships and self-discovery, the song's reveals Claire's maintained trust in the future. Her reflections are set against a backdrop of midwest-imbued guitar parts, deliberative vocal harmonies and nostalgic field recordings. Claire's debut single "I-90" thematically and sonically foreshadows what's to come.

"I-90" was recorded with producer Allen Tate at Better Company Studios in Brooklyn, NY.

lyrics

I am 24 years old and I don’t like to leave my parent's home
I went off for a few years but I don’t like the feeling of being on my own

I am 24 years old and my younger brother has more money than me
And I don’t sit around I work and I think about how I can be contributing
I can’t stop spending my time on things I don’t need
My ex said it’s becoming a habit for me

I can’t even cry anymore and everything’s worth crying for

Now I’m back with a guy who said he didn’t like me
But he’s being nice and he said sorry and that’s all I need for now
My best friend from high school is married with a baby on the way
And I wonder if I’ll ever feel a love like that one day

And I don’t even cry anymore
I just can’t stop keeping score

A rat race
A time machine
A hamster wheel
A day dream

A bookmark
A checkpoint
A restart
A highlight

A milestone
A keynote
A picture
On a flip phone

White honda
On i-90
Driving farther from my family

White knuckling
the steering wheel
And you call
Feels like a big, big deal

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
