   Ariana Grande's album Sweetener was released yesterday, in the shadow of the   
   death of "Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin. The album's intro is a cover of a   
   verse from a 1960s song An Angel Cried by The Four Seasons:   
      
   When raindrops fell down from the sky   
   The day you left me an angel cried   
   Oh she cried, an angel cried   
   She cried   
      
   The closing track on the album, Get Well Soon, describes a sense of   
   disconnection between body and mind:   
      
   They say my system is overloaded   
   (Girl, what’s wrong with you? Come back down)   
   I'm too much in my head, did you notice?   
   (Girl, what’s wrong with you? Come back down)   
   My body's here on Earth, but I'm floating   
   (Girl, what’s wrong with you? Come back down)   
   Disconnected, so sometimes, I feel frozen and alone   
      
   Ariana said this expresses the state of anxiety she experienced after the   
   terrorist attack on her concert where a suicide bomber killed 22 people.   
      
   The track ends with these words:   
      
   Here's one thing you can trust   
   It takes you and me to make us   
   One of those days you had enough, I'll be there, I'll be there   
   If it ain't one thing, it's another   
   When you need someone to pull you out the bubble   
   I'll be right there just to hug you, I'll be there   
   Where are you? Are you home? Call me right on the phone   
   I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there, I'll be there   
   I don't care who is gone, you shouldn't be alone   
   I'll be there   
   You can work your way to the top   
      
   This is followed by a forty-second silence, bringing the track's length to   
   5:22, a reference to the terrorist attack, which happened on May 22 last year.   
      
   The terrorist attack can be interpreted as a metaphor for a cataclysm that   
   causes a split in human identity.
