A mood...

Today I am moody. This might be partially from sitting in the car for 4 hours on the way home from Idaho, it might be from not sleeping in my own bed for the past 2 nights, it could be stress, but for whatever reason, I'm in a FUNK. I generally like to have soundtrack music to go with my moods, and today I have been drawn back to the music of my childhood.

Do you know who Leonard Cohen is?

He is the original writer of Hallelujiah (Rufus Wainwright did the version on Shrek...)

How about Jennifer Warens? Most likely not.

This album: Famous Blue Raincoat is all cover songs by Jennifer Warens


And I've just been in the mood to listen to it today. Luckily, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I can find all of the songs I want to listen to on YouTube!

Maybe I'm a nerd, but there's something homey about her music, her rich voice, the meloncholy songs. I had forgotten how gorgeous her voice was. And I still knew all the words to the songs.
