You know how it goes, right? When you hear that song for the first time, and you tell your kids or your husband to stop talking, or you pull over on the side of the road and close your eyes and let the song fill you up. And you don’t know whether it’s the lyrics, or the voice, or the music itself, but something in that song has wound itself around your heart.
Right now, that song is Sharon Van Etten’s Save Yourself, and it’s absolutely permeating my world these days. Sharon’s got all kinds of heat and attention right now, and she has a new album just out, and I’m slowly falling in love with that one too, but this song, this song is it for me. Her voice and harmonies are hitting me where I live, and the lyrics and the music are equally as gorgeous and haunting.
Has a song done that for you recently? What was it?
