  "account": "Nashville singer-songwriter Brennan Wedl is set to release her debut album in the coming days. The Nashville-based artist has previously shared previews of her songs \"Pretty Little Fantasy,\" \"Let's Be Models,\" and \"Two Dollar Pistol.\" Today, Wedl is introducing the tarot-inspired ballad \"High Priestess\" to her fans.\n\nIn the song, Wedl takes on the perspective of a person driving aimlessly around town during after-hours. She explains that going for a drive is often a way to work through personal issues. From a tarot perspective, the narrator of the song conceals their deep, almost otherworldly intuition with their own human desires, much like the High Priestess card. The narrator's negotiations with their past reflect the themes of the 2 of Swords and the Magician cards, as they go to great lengths to avoid confronting the reality they simply cannot accept.\n\nWedl poses the question, \"What brings you to drive down your old street?\" and cautions that the High Priestess card advises that it's time to move on. As the week's most important music stories and least important music memes are published, listeners are left to ponder the deeper meanings behind Wedl's evocative song.",
