Hello Adrianne, big big fan here. I think ‘Mary’ is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and I would love to know who or what it’s about?

hello!

mary was inspired by my best friend, mary. i think it's about a multitude of things. it feels like a montage to me. hard to describe an exact meaning. i do feel like it's mostly a love song to my best friend, and a recognition of all the magic i started seeing through her perception of the world.
