Sometimes a song writer articulates something so specific that they render it totally universal.
Kris was great at that

There for the birth of alt-rock. 🎶
Still standing.
Her voice is perhaps the best of the past forty years - she could sing the dictionary and I would still listen.
‘You arrived like a day, and passed like a cloud/ I made a wish, I said it out loud’
I wish I had written that.

I don't know when I first heard this song, sometime in the last 3 or 4 years or so. I’m pretty sure the spotify algorithm fed it to me (ik spotify bad, but they have luckily programmed my algorithm almost perfectly..)🫣 I instantly fell in love. I had no idea who Margo Guryan was, but I loved her voice and the simplicity of the song.🕊️ I would listen to it over and over and over again on my drives home from my 9-5 office job. I was living in Richmond, VA at the time and was the most depressed I had been in my whole life. Almost every drive home from work I would cry, except the days when I turned on Why Do I Cry lol. I remember driving home and it was drizzling a bit, i sang along, (im a horrible singer) i would sing a harmony ina lower key and i thought it sounded pretty good (maybe one day i can cover this and sing with someone) a lot of the times when i listen to music i imagine a “music video” in my mind. She sings about only getting to spend one day a week with her lover. I visualized this fictional couple in my head laughing and loving and dancing around an apartment. I could go more in depth, but I'm not very good at expressing my ideas in a way that makes sense lol anyways so so beautiful…❣️🌧️💙😸I will write about Margo’s life eventually, but for no,w here are my thoughts #badasss 🤩🌼

👻i'm spirtually a grandmother so I love the Carpenters so much. Karen Carpenter has a voice of an angel. I know everyone and their mom loves "(They Long To Be) Close to You" but I have cried to that song so many times. Its too beautiful and just sums up the experience of being in love perfectly, I don't think any song could sum up my lil optimistic yearning heart better than that one. There's also a Carpenters tribute album and The Cranberries do a soul-crushing cover of it, so good.
