Here’s what I think about Crash Love: it’s a plea. It’s anger done up in artifice and it feels removed from Davey’s real self, the real emotions we’re used to hearing from him. And in it too there is an offer, a plea. Crash Love and the songs on it are Davey’s way of asking Jade to take back up with him–of saying, please, however we can be together, whether you can bear for it to be public or not, let us be together. I am dying without you. It’s about how Davey’s been trying and failing to medicate himself, to stop up his wounds using other people’s bodies. It’s about Davey wanting Jade back at any cost.
History tells how Jade answered.
