“There is quite a lot of self-reflection and deep contemplation in Jude’s songs and the ability to go below the surface is something that has always provided her admirers with the solace that she acts as a lightning rod for many of the personal highs and hurts that they experience in their own lives. Some find her songs too couched in melancholy but that can be viewed as a positive in that it is an aesthetic emotion. It is not somehow debilitating, like sorrow, despair or depression, but includes wistful feelings of yearning and memories of the past, that can bring much pleasure and sweet nostalgia for what we have loved and lost. There is also a longing in her words and a hope for a better tomorrow so that a message of optimism is always there too.” – Paul McGee, Lonesome Highway
