The track on “Dear Joe,” that truly makes the entire album stand-out is the powerful song “i choose violence.” Jax bravely shares her story of being taken advantage of by an older man.

Watching their sweet bond warms the soul, and Jax even dedicated a song to her on the album. “a song for chelsea” expresses the fears of Chelsea growing up and experiencing the dangers in the world. Her protectiveness over those she loves is a theme you see throughout the album. “superbad” is another example of this as it discusses the situation of seeing a friend of yours in a bad relationship, and not knowing how to tell them.
