The breakup vibes are strong. “So if you wanna walk me to the car you ought to know I’ll have a heavy heart,” Turner sings on opening cut “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball,” a song devastatingly gorgeous enough to stand up to Burt Bacharach or Marvin Gaye comparisons. When Turner goes into falsetto at the end of the song’s next line —“I’m sure to have a heavy heart so can we please be absolutely sure that there’s a mirrorball…for me”— and the strings swirl around him, there’s not a dry eye in the house. Unlike its predecessor, The Car is not a concept album. Lyrically, the album refers frequently to show business, specifically the music and film industries. [3] It makes references to fame, creativity, the passage of time and nostalgia, audience expectations, [3] espionage, [8] and disillusion. [14] The album has been described as "cinematic" [32] with Turner "assuming the meta-role of an artistically struggling movie director". [33] It has also been noted, as depicting, "a decadent world of marble staircases, moated buildings, the popping of champagne corks and aeroplane descents over the French Riviera," [14] as well as, "the tensions between art and commerce, between performance and authenticity." [16] Turner cited, In the Blink of an Eye (2005) by Walter Murch, as an inspiration, and thought it felt connected to “the process and also the feel or lyrics on [The Car].” [34] Other things Turner was reading at the time include, Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe series, [4] and the works of David Foster Wallace and George Saunders.
