You are the still the song I sing to myself when I'm alone <3

Well, I admit I am just thinking about her lyrics right now and not actually listening ... Cuz I am trying to sleep.

Rockabye rockabye baby rockabye til I'm fast asleep

There is an elegance to the way she words things that's irrefutably enchanting

I keep saying I need to make a separate playlist for clean Ani songs.

Your Next Bold Move

Words are vitamins and life is short!

Artistic ideas are swarming!

everyone has a skeleton
and a closet to keep it in
and your mine
every song has a you
a you that the singer sings to
and you're it this time
baby, you're it this time

think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you
i could make you happy you know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things

In North Carolina, particularly. "Which Side Are You On?" #songoftheday

ahem please go away.....

Letting The Telephone Ring

you never were a good friend
but oh, what can I say, I adore you

"what kind of scale/ compares the weight of two beauties?/ the gravity of duties/ or the ground speed of joy?/ tell me what kind of gauge/ can quantify elation? what kind of equation/ could i... more

"what kind of scale/ compares the weight of two beauties?/ the gravity of duties/ or the ground speed of joy?/ tell me what kind of gauge/ can quantify elation? what kind of equation/ could i possibly employ?/ and you'll never know, dear/ just how much i loved you/ you probably think this was/ just my big excuse/ but i stand committed/ to a love that came before you/ and the fact that i adore you/ is just one of my truths."

What will it take for my country to rise / first we admit our mistakes, then we open our eyes / or nature succumbs to one last dumb decision / and America the Beautiful is just one big subdivision

i'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind

and i wonder who's gonna be president
tweedle dumb or tweedle dumber?

Not sure what album pulled a CD out of the 'over the visor' holder & it was Ani (:

I'm sorry I didn't sound more excited on the phone
I'm sorry that after all these years
I've left you feeling unrequited and alone, brought you to tears

I'm sorry I didn't sound more excited on the phone
I'm sorry that after all these years
I've left you feeling unrequited and alone, brought you to tears
I guess I never loved you quite as well as the way you loved me
I guess I'll never really be able to tell you how sorry
I am

and at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame
there must be a light of some kind

tonight you stooped to my level
i am your mangy little whore
you are trying to find your underwear
and then your socks and then the door
and you're trying to find a reason
why you have to leave

every time I say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear

Relaxing with a little Ani tonight... yep, I'm versatile!

I believe I just realized "Canon" disc 2 is my favorite Ani album...Hello Birmingham and Grey are two of my faves...

ehhhh......not diggin this pandora.

32 Flavors (actually saw an NFL campaign using this song...it was...spectacular)

You can't hide
Behind social graces
So don't try
To be all touchy feely
Cause you lie
In my face of all places
But I've got no
Problem with that really...

Love Ani's music... She's a passionate activist with a big heart.

Course that starstruck girl is already someone I miss...
