Feeling a six month re-assessment of Blue Banisters. I've grown to love how bare it is, and its charms now outshine a couple of her albums that shall remain nameless. Some of my favorite moments are below:
10 Text Book - Old man river keeps rolling, with or without him.
10 Blue Banisters - Summer comes, winter goes, spring I skip, God knows...
09 Arcadia - I'm not from the land of palms, so I know I can't stay here, I'm not native.
-- The Trio
10 Black Bathing Suit - It's cause of you that I'm mean, it's my afterthoughts.
08 If You Lie Down With Me - Don't say you're over me. baby, it's already too late.
07 Beautiful - Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness...
10 Violets for Roses - Still, the shadows haunt the avenue. the silence is deafening.
08 Dealer - Why can't you be good for something? Not one shirt off your back.
07 Thunder- If hello just means goodbye then, baby, better walk away.
09 Wildflower Wildfire - Comfortably numb, but with lithium came poetry.
05 Nectar of the Gods - beautiful gowns?
09 Living Legend - You are my living legend-- *wawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawaw*
10 Cherry Blossom - And when you're scared, I'll be right here. You feel afraid, mommy is there. It's a cruel, cruel world but we don't care, because what we've got, we've got to share.
10 Sweet Carolina - I'll always be right here, closer to you than my next breath my dear.
The stifled up maternal energy in some of these tracks make me WEEP.
