On the Chicks' new album 'Gaslighter,' Natalie Maines sings often and pointedly about a bitter break-up, presumably hers from ex-husband Adrian Pasdar.
In April, the band did its first official interview for “Gaslighter,” promoting the album with a cover story for“due to ongoing legal disputes.” When Howard Stern later went fishing for divorce gossip, she danced around his questions.
“Sleep at Night” paints Pasdar as a cheater: “My husband’s girlfriend’s husband just called me up / How messed up is that? / It’s so insane that I have to laugh.” Maines repeatedly asks during the chorus “How do you sleep at night?” while pointing out her ex’s “double life” and “lies.” On “Sleep at Night,” Maines also tackles the idea of parenting after her split.
On the ballad “Everybody Loves You,” Maines grapples with how she should feel about her ex: “Why does everybody love you? They don’t know the things that I do,” she asks. “It’s my body, and I’m trying to / Forgive you, I don’t want to / It’s my body, and it hates you.” On “My Best Friend’s Weddings,” Maines jabs an ex about his age: “In 20 years, 20 years, 20 years, yeah / I’ll still be younger than you.” . On “Hope It’s Something Good,” she looks on the bright side of divorce: “Highs and lows, we fought our wars with silence / I’d have called you out, but baby, I knew you’d deny it / After so long, I learned to hold my tongue / And now that you’re done, I get to write this song.” Still, she sarcastically adds that she hopes his new lover is “really worth it.
