i just discovered this woman last night and i am so moved and amazed. a ton of her music was released posthumously today. please listen. please google her. thereās a documentary about her life thatās getting a limited release soon and i already bought my ticket
I recently stumbled upon this wonderful woman's work via Spotify and I was very intrigued by the editing of her song I Have Considered the Lillies. The song seemed unexpectedly modern because there was a snippet of her speaking to other people in the room with her before she started playing the guitar and singing along. Because of this, I got curious and scrolled to her bio to see that apparently she went missing in her 40's, never to be found again. In a note she left tucked behind her filing cabinet before she left, she wrote, "let me go, let me be if I can, let me not be if I can't." Her music lets us in on a glimpse behind a woman who felt so deeply, and despite her not finding the success she wanted in her time, I am happy to say that now in the heyday of confessional singer-songwriter music, her music has found a stage wherein the fiercely honest, tender, and vulnerable lyrics she wrote can at long last be appreciated as it always should have been. I hope she found a life she loved, in the end. I hope she loved and wrote and lived the life fitting for a soul so beautiful.
this album was performed live as part of the last night of āeldorado ballroomā for saint heron and la philharmonic curated by solange and how i discovered it. itās mostly a jazz album but with 3 or 4 songs that are masses. itās a beautifully haunting and complex piece of art!
iāve done this platonically and romantically recently. and both seem to be working out. i love talking on the phone. we should all talk on the phone more often
if you love a really famous musician or a major studio movie, you can probably find some bizarre promotional item on the internet. theyāre often too rare to purchase. but i DID just order a set of madonna russian nesting dolls from the music era, so it can be done
