I was listening to Emma Stone on Smartless trying to figure out how to explain who she is and don’t ask me how it lead down this insane path.

    How is this song for her daughter, when the first verse contains the line “making love with you is all I want to do”?

      I just assumed it meant more than sex during that time? Go to the 3 minute mark and she start singing her name around then.

        Doing a bit more research, it looks like the melody was created as a lullaby for her daughter. Obviously they repurposed it for this song, but kept in the mentions of Maya as a kind of Easter egg.

        Also, shockingly, I found that Minnie died from breast cancer at the age of 31. What a loss of a superb talent.

          Yeah, it’s sad and part of what makes me happy seeing this post. Knowing her daughter is a celebrity means Minnie will be remembered that much longer
