Loving the new album, which it took me an unusually long time to get.

As always, she has super lyrics that speak to just how I feel
I know change is a bad thing,
Breaks me down into a sorry sad thing
Not some iridescent grateful butterfly.
I'll resist with defiance,
Not the valor of a mystic silence,
I will fight the dizzy spiral of goodbye.

[Man is that how I feel sometimes!]
...

It's a sad and a strange thing.
But it's time and I am changing.
Into something good or bad, well that's your guess.
I'm my own sovereign nation,
Dedicated to a transformation,
Marching on with this target on my chest, oh yes,

[I hope I can eventually get to this...]

Book Of Love, The Easy Way, You Are Everyone: also super songs that have resonance for me.

The Tide Falls Away: Strangely moving in a mysterious way.

Go To The Woods: Reminds me of Sondheim, perhaps intentionally.

She's playing at the Ram's Head in Annapolis in late August and at the Birchmere in early November. I'll be sure to catch at least one or the other. Truly an artist it's a great pleasure to hear and see live. :-)
