Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up--
Better I should know--
So don't come 'round here
and tell me 'I told you so'
But it's one misstep and slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem to be a way to be redeemed
Sarah McLachlan
"Fallen"
released November 4
Yeah, I know it is maudlin and cheesy pop music from She Who Stays In The Studio Until Some Musical Idea Sounds Good, but the proverbial and cliched poor poor me song always cuts to my heart. Besides, it is good for humming to myself while walking across campus, it sounds appropriately moody and introspective. And it is great for exercising my rough as nails voice in the car. I'm thinking this might be my song for 2003. Of course, this is the only song from the new album that I've listened to, I may fall for another one. You know how you get stuck on one song from a CD, play it ad infinitum and get sick of it? Well, I try to pull the cd back from banishment at some point and listen to the rest of the songs. Road trips work well for that--OK, I WILL NOT change this cd until I've listened to all of it.

I once recorded "Ice Ice Baby" on a 90 minute tape, over and over and over, so that I could just listen to the song all the time... never got sick of it for some reason.
Cheers.
