简介
Iris has always had a knack for writing catchy songs with classic pop hooks (i.e. Blue Sky, Wolves, etc.). But in this particular case with the song Jenavieve, which she dedicates to a close friend who died suddenly and very young, that specific type of songcraft was not needed and certainly not used. The song is not meant to be a pop song but actually more of a lamentation to the fragility of life and how quickly it can be gone with little or no notice given to those left behind after a tragedy like this one. Such was the case with Jenavieve, who was killed by an oncoming car while riding her motorcycle in Arizona. Iris treats the subject of her friend's untimely death with respect and sincere emotion and the fact that it is indeed written about a real-life event makes the composition and performance all the more sobering and touching.
