i can't seem to not make this happen. today i was singing paula cole. it was exactly the song you think it was. the one everyone knows from "dawson's creek". would you believe me if i told you i didn't dodge a single high note? so open up your morning light, and say a little prayer for i.

tonight's set list touched on lady gaga, t'pau, harry nilsson, and ended with something i wrote myself when i was sixteen and hadn't yet lived long enough to feel the full weight of the words moving through my mouth.

i kept toggling between stardust's "music sounds better with you" and "talkin' like you (two tall mountains)" by connie converse. from exhilaration to a deep well of unnameable sadness, and back again.

after a prelude that included fragments of haddaway's "what is love?", bob dylan's "what good am i?", and shudder to think's "she might be waking up" (just to prove that not all songs are questions), an angel-themed medley moved through three very different iterations of "angel eyes" by roxy music, frank sinatra, and lewis furey and carole laure conjuring a bit of that old nightmagic, winding down with monica's "angel of mine".
