In the mean time, my daughter is trying out again for Shower of Stars. I hope she and her band make it. They sound so good! She's got a sore throat that I hope goes away. I have some honey cough drops that she is welcome to, I think they might help! And, the added bonus if they do pass the preliminary, is....... she might even start being nice to me!
As Randy Newman says:
I even love
My teenage daughter
There's no accounting for it
Apparently I don't care
How I'm treated
My love is unconditional
Or something
Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.
Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.
Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.
'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.
Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

aah..beautiful lyrics :-) I love corinne...I don't know if you love her songs in general but if you want to take a look at another artist her co-songwriter's working with called Kelly Erez
I don't usually post SPAM. But I did check this out. Kelly Erez is an ordinary singer, who doesn't play any instruments, at least not in any thing I could find on you tube.
She in no way sounds at all like Corinne Bailey Rae, and she is not unique either. Sounds like every other try out for American Idol.
..... I'm just a really big fan of both and thought you might be interested
Take care x

Oh, I see. Ok. Thanks.
