"I am biting my lip...As confidence is speaking to me.

I loosen my grip from my palm...Put it on your knee." 

"Give Out" -  Sharon Van Etten

Saw her at Forecastle this year. Loved her. Can't stop listening now that I'm home and settled in for the night.

A night of music and reflection, with an occasional lyric that makes my heart hurt because it get right down to the dark place I carry around with me.  This is how the past few Sunday nights have been.  I'm not sure I like it, but I'll be fine.  I'll get over it.  I'll go on about my way.

I totally don't mean to be a total, annoying Jason Isbell fan girl, but I'm still kinda new to him. I've been infatuated with him since I saw him open for Ryan Adams. His new album, released yesterday, is one of those works that makes me feel like I've been to church when I really needed it...an overwhelming sense of release and relief, a weight off my shoulders, and tears to my eyes. It's beautiful. Or maybe I'm just emotional. But seriously, go listen to this...
