Amanda Leigh started out way more folk than I was expecting. It did get more "pop"-ish as we went along, but I guess I think of "Candy" when I think of Mandy Moore singing, so I was a little surprised at the first song. Some of it really reminded me of showtunes, too, especially "Pocket Philosopher" and "Song About Home." This album probably came out around the time that she was transitioning more into acting than singing, too. However, I don't know if that is relevant.
I don't have much to say about this album. It's boring but pleasant. Her voice is really pretty.
I didn't follow Mandy Moore as a singer, so I wasn't aware of this album before this poll. It apparently came out right when I was graduating high school, which is interesting to think about, since I just graduated with my MBA today. I don't know, that feels kind of like a fun synchronicity.
What would I have imagined my life to be at this point at that age? Like, in 2009, what did I think my life would look like in 2026? My only real goal was not to live where I grew up. I can't imagine how depressing and limiting that would have been. So I'm glad that I accomplished that. I think that, at that point, I didn't really know what I wanted otherwise. A lot of my thinking about the future was ruled by what was expected and logical. I'm less tied by that now, but I don't know how much more clarity I have on what my life will be.
