music soothes all

As I might have mentioned, I've been very stressed lately - work, child, personal life - lots of things weighing on my mind.  I find music to be the ultimate cure for what ails me when it comes to stress.

There are a couple of songs I've been using to soothe my frazzled nerves lately.  Here's one!

Out of Tune - Sarah McLachlan
I love love love Sarah.  She can sing a Barney song and make me a happy woman.  Sarah evokes a certain set of memories for me that are just lovely.  This song is off her recent released and I just love it - the lyrics and the sound of her voice, and how she can amazingly hit the accidentals all over this song without going sharp.  AMAZING.

Behind our door, there's no war


No burning towers, just hours of peace

Between us at least

No pretense no violence makes no sense



It isn't my heart that's grown cold

The same mistakes are getting old

I'm lost for words I don't know what to do

But when I'm lying here with you

And the whole world's out of tune

You're the one and only voice that makes things right

So stay with me tonight



Behind our door there's no hunger

No one trying to sell me heaven

Just loving arms it's just tonight

I don't want to hear 'bout our trying times

Don't wanna know about lost children,

About someone held for ransom



It isn't my heart that's grown cold

The same mistakes are getting old

I'm lost for words I don't know what to do

But when I'm lying here with you

And the whole world's out of tune

You're the one and only voice that makes things right

So stay with me tonight
