This last Saturday, we spent the evening with this lovely lady, Sharon Van Etten. Well we didn't actually hang out with her, but we listened as she cooed and seduced us with her words. She is really such an amazing songwriter I can't even believe it. I had heard her music before, but never paid much attention to it. I am so bummed because I feel like I have been missing out on such great music for so long without her. Now I own both her albums and can't stop listening to them. We feel so lucky when people like her let Drew and the guys open for them. It's such a privilege and honor.

Below are lyrics to my favorite song of hers, off the album EPIC:
ONE DAY: listen to full song here
Sister don't mind that i'm not on time
she knows that i'm through with that
sick of trying, don't let mine
she knows that i'm through with that
sick of trying, don't let mine
mama's still loving and daddy still loves
they know that i'm here like that
i'm like mine: true and kind
Call me aside and i will now be
and i will be fine with that
don't leave me now, you might love me back
distance is fine, i know you can't care
and nothing is big like that
you don't see me now, i don't see you back
one day i'll be fine with that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
just to remind you i'm a mistake
how come you don't want to know?
you don't wanna see, you don't wanna show
kicking myself, i know that you're tough
yeah we can pretend we're that
gotta see how, you gotta leave that
one day i'll be fine with that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
snow is outside but i'm by your fire
i feel all the love you'll bring
you gotta see how we can see this out
summer in mind and spring by your side
you'll see all the love we'll keep
gotta see that we couldn't be there
one day i'll be fine with that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
they know that i'm here like that
i'm like mine: true and kind
Call me aside and i will now be
and i will be fine with that
don't leave me now, you might love me back
distance is fine, i know you can't care
and nothing is big like that
you don't see me now, i don't see you back
one day i'll be fine with that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
just to remind you i'm a mistake
how come you don't want to know?
you don't wanna see, you don't wanna show
kicking myself, i know that you're tough
yeah we can pretend we're that
gotta see how, you gotta leave that
one day i'll be fine with that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
snow is outside but i'm by your fire
i feel all the love you'll bring
you gotta see how we can see this out
summer in mind and spring by your side
you'll see all the love we'll keep
gotta see that we couldn't be there
one day i'll be fine with that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
