Daisy Chain Fields vs. Lilith Fair [Charge Comparison]

The Daisy Chain Fields music festival has drawn comparison to Lilith Fair, but are the messages coming through the lyrics of Daisy Chain Fields’ lineup doing the same for the listener’s psyche as the lyrics from the Lilith Fair lineup? Charitable events are inspiring and do a lot of real good for people in need, but what are the artists’ original song lyrics doing on their own? We investigated. Here are the headliner’s songs for comparison, charged by the Rising Compass.
