Album of the Week

Song and Lyric of the Week
Reflecting Light
“Now that I've worn out, I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night and the moons never seen me before
But I'm reflecting light.

I rode the pain down, got off and looked up
Looked into your eyes
The loss, open windows all around
My dark heart lit up the night.

Give up the ground under your feet
Hold onto nothing for good
Turn and run at the mean dogs chasing you
Stand alone and misunderstood.

Now that I've worn out, I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night and the moons never seen me before
But I'm reflecting light.”

Music Story of the Week
I discovered Sam when I worked with Virgin Records and she released her 'first' album called The Indescribable Wow in 1989. I fell in love and have never looked back. She is, in my opinion, one of the finest songwriters of all time. I consider her a poet who can write a damn good melody, layer a killer harmony, play a mean guitar and break my heart every time. I find that I rediscover her every few months and become enamored all over again. If you are a fan of the tv show The Gilmore Girls you will have heard her as she is one of the shows music supervisors/musicians.

If you like the intelligent, talented, opinionated female singer/songwriter type and you don't yet know her...

trust me,
you should.
