Explained simply
Lizzy McAlpine is an American singer-songwriter whose work centres on relationships and personal reflection. She built her audience through her emotionally direct approach on previous albums, most recently Older.
"The light in the painting" is a song about the intensity of falling in love, in which McAlpine likens the feeling to light that catches your eye in a painting.
