like you

sometimes, the universe sends you the right thing at the right moment.

i've been a fan of singer beth hart for years. she appeared on the music scene with L.A. song in 1999 and then pretty much disappeared... but not to those of us following her career. though she never really had radio play after her breakout single, likely because most of her music is unlike the song that put her on the charts, she kept on writing and singing and performing, eventually relocating across the pond to establish herself in europe. she's raw, she's rough, she's honest and she's loud.

anyway, long story short, it had been about six months since i'd checked to see what she'd been doing so, tonight and for no particular reason, i went to her website to see what, if anything, was new.

it turns out she's just released a new single in scandanavia, and it's a song that doesn't just speak to me, it screams at me... because i see so much of myself and my life in it. i listened to it, slightly slack-jawed, and then listened again.

and i absolutely love it.
