Voodoo Number Lady and I must be kindred spirits. It seems the longer I know her, the more I find that we have in common. She has this inherent ability to sense my likes and dislikes.

For a number of weeks now she has been telling me about one of her favorite songs by Tori Amos called Famous Blue Raincoat. Apparently she found it on a single quite a few years ago and can't seem to find it anywhere else. She was sure that I would like it just as much as she does, and has been promising me that she would let me borrow it so I could make a copy for not only myself, but an extra one for her as well.

Finally, just this week she brought it into work. Not surprisingly, I really enjoyed Famous Blue Raincoat.Tori Amos is really talented on the piano. But she also brought along another CD that she wanted me to listen to so I could throw my opinion her way. The album is called Songbird and the artist is Eva Cassidy. She reminds me a lot of Nora Jones, but she seems to have a bit of a gospel edge. I wasn't sure whether I would like her work, but it will just blow you away! Her voice is so soothing, and of course I already have a favorite song. Check out the lyrics below and enjoy!

Songbird

For you there'll be no crying
For you the sun will be shining
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's all right I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you I love you I love you
Like never before

To you I would give the world
To you I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's all right I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you I love you I love you
Like never before Like never before

Like never before. . . . .
