I think you understand what I'm trying to say, your post doesn't still take into account that, as an artist, Haley draws from different sources to express the emotions in the songs she sings.
I don't know how to explain it any clearer than that Haley has said, not up to speculation, that Undone puts her into a place that makes it difficult for her, so therefore she doesn't like to sing it. Who are we to tell her that she's wrong?
Tsk Tsk
I think I understand what you are trying to say? Buzz said: Haley is wrong!
Please...are we really into right and wrong opinions on a fan site? We've had this discussion many times before...

Wow...poor little Haley, so taken advantage of...forced to sing a song on her first record that took her to such a horrible place. Is this your story? I seem to recall that Haley didn't like the repetitive lyrics of singing the word Undone so many times. It just might be it is not one of her favorites to sing. I can understand that.
It still has nothing to do with my original comment that you are parsing so meticulously. The emotional reaction of the listener to her voice in these songs, whether hurt or happiness, rejection or love, affects the listener in a similar way...which then causes her fans to want more of the same.
I can see your viewpoint...but you are unable to see mine. But then that's just you being Tusk.

People enjoy music for the emotions and memories it evokes and the places; past, present, and future, it can take us. I get that the artist in her doesn't like to go to the place it takes her. However, from a business point, I think it could have been a hit. It touches, very well, that sad place we all go to now and then.
This is Halien feedback that every artist would like to have from their fanbase to realize what is profitable for their career. Sing what you want, but hopefully you'll sing what they want...
