I have found a new love! A couple years back, I was in jr. high, and they needed someone to play bass in our little orchestra. I volunteered, which opened many a-door for me. Like jazz band. one of the requirements for THIS class was that we listened to approximately ten hours of jazz. Well, at that point in time, I was not too interested in jazz, but it grew, and that love has stuck with me. So when I was recently directed in a new 'jazzer's way, I said, okay!
So today, I present to you: Meaghan Smith. I think she is absolutely beautiful, and has quite a unique singing voice-but beautiful all the same!!! Her animated bio is quite different from any other singer/songwriter's I've experienced. Jump on over and check it out! But here is a song off of her Cricket's Orchestra album, which is simply divine! I love it all! Enjoy!!
this stupid heart
this foolish thing
failed me from the start
and keeps malfunctioning
always dropping beats
and falling fast
until it bleeds me dry at last
tell me your king's horses
and all your king's men
what's the use in fixing
what will only break again?
heartbroken
heartbroken
what's the us in fixing
what will kill me in the end?
put me back together
I'm still heartbroken
well i fixed it up
with safety pins
but you stole the key
and broke right in
you cut my strings
and you hung me high
well i cross this heart
and hope to die
tell me if you love me
tell me if you can
what's the use in fixing
what will only break again?
heartbroken
heartbroken
what's the use in fixing
what will kill me in the end?
put me back together
I'm still heartbroken
heartbroken
what a bitter end
I was on the mend
but here I am again
heartbroken
heartbroken
what's the use in fixing
what will kill me in the end?
put me back together
I'm still heartbroken...
I love her voice, and this song. Oh my goodness, thank you! Haha, my new song addiction of the week. Now I can finally get,"I'm walking on sunshine" out of my head! :)
ReplyDeleteI will have to listen to more of her stuff. My ex is a jazz fanatic. I learned to enjoy some of it. But - I don't care to listen to "his" stuff. haha.
ReplyDeleteTry Jamie Cullum. He is a total monster at the piano and i love his voice! He is a British Jazz Artist. :)
