Natalie Merchant still makes me mellow
Had Natalie Merchant on Rhapsody today..playing at a perfect volume...not blasting, but not in the background either. She just totally takes any melancholy I'm experiencing and makes it acceptable...even desirable. Best song I heard today? Hmmm.....I'm going to say "San Andreas Fault" -- I almost chose "Seven Years"...but this one really hit me today. Lyrics are below...but you've gotta hear her sing it to truly appreciate it.
San Andreas Fault
Go west
paradise is there
you'll have all that you can eat
of milk and honey over there
you'll be the brightest star
the world has ever seen
sun-baked slender heroine
of film and magazine
go west
paradise is there
you'll have all that you can eat
of milk and honey over there
you'll be the brightest light
the world has ever seen
the dizzy height of a jet-set life
you could never dream
your pale blue eyes
strawberry hair
lips so sweet
skin so fair
your future bright
beyond compare
it's rags to riches
over there
San Andreas Fault
moved it's fingers
through the ground
earth divided
plates collided
such an awful sound
San Andreas Fault
moved its fingers
through the ground
terra cotta shattered
and walls came
tumbling down
o promised land
o wicked ground
build a dream
tear it down
o promised land
what a wicked ground
build a dream
watch it fall down
