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?
