Sharon Van Etten’s sixth album, “We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong,” delves into how people make sense of the world when it seems to be falling apart. The album explores how we protect the things that are most precious to us from destructive forces beyond our control, how we salvage something worthwhile when it seems all is lost, and if we can’t or don’t, have we loved as well as we could in the meantime. The album is a reflection on the artist’s own vulnerability and a stunning meditation on how life’s changes can be both terrifying and transformative, and it articulates the beauty and power that can be rescued from our wreckages.
