Half Gone 2013 (or maybe ...lost but not forgotten)

[Davey]

Hilarious!

I'm reading the list marveling at how fun and cool and in tune with what I like it is with no clue that it was posted by our old buddy maf. Man being over 50 is a *****. How do you recall this stuff Davey?

That is a riot

I do still have a decent memory, and I did recall recommending that Rickie Lee Jones Volcano EP around here, and I was just listening to it lately which is why I tossed that track up to the song of the day link that Snowbunny was perusing, and so after I read her post I did a google and the later thread below showed up first (which you'd never guess based on the title, but threads used to go off topic all over the place here), but it also included the link to that maf guy's old thread ... so it's really just google turning a little ghost of an old memory into something real, not so much me.

I've come to the realization that I suck at picking music.

Recently, I bought a couple of new albums online, by two Malaysian-born artists, Zee Avi and Yuna. Both are a little better than okay.

So why can't I find artists like Patty Griffin on my own? After listening to Davey's pick, Ohio, I happened upon one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I've heard in a long time, Not Alone.

Not Alone (Acoustic Version)

She sees him laying in the bed alone tonight
The only thing a touching him is a crack of light
Pieces of her hair are wrapped around and 'round his fingers
And he reaches for her side, for any sign of her that lingers

And she says you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head
And lay with me tonight...

And what is her connection with Robert Plant?
