Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker repeats the striking count of sixty-five songs, all about Joe and all about pain. The repetition makes both their quantity and shared subject feel overwhelming. It presents songwriting as an intense concentration on one person, without explaining the relationship behind it.
