Songs can be a great way to process emotion, I think that’s my default when it comes to songwriting. Sometimes the processing is pretty straightforward in a simple, reassuring way. Putting down on paper something that I knew most everyone else in the world was feeling during the past couple years was comforting.
lyrics
I’m still waiting for the sun to shine
For the world to return to something I recognize
I’ve been patient
How much more can we take?
The bend will surely break, we’re crumbling
I’m not asking for anything crazy
I just wanna be with the one that I love
These arms are hungry to hold another heartbeat
Beating on between lonely walls
Raindrops knocking on that springtime door
And the trees are waking up just like they did before
But it’s not the same, I’m still trying to hang on
Wondering how we grew so strong through the darkest year
I’m not asking for anything crazy
I just wanna be with the one that I love
These arms are hungry to hold another heartbeat
Beating on between lonely walls
This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
