Soul

After hearing "Nothing But a Miracle" for the first time, I was hooked on Diane Birch. Her voice seemed to transcend me to a different era, one where music is the only means of communication from soul to soul. Recently while mindlessly applying to jobs, I put on Bible Belt and let the whole album play through. When this particular song came to an end, I scooped up the remote and replayed it again. And again. And again. As she strikes the opening keys on the organ-like piano, it blankets a calming sensation over me. Her voice, well, it speaks for itself. I give you "Ariel."

"I've been cryin' on the pillow where you lie
For the past, for the future and everything in between.
Oh, does it hurt more to lose you or hurt more to love you baby?
Or does it hurt more to look at you on my screen?

Am I a fool to think I know you well?
Do we see the same stars?
Cause sometimes, baby, those green eyes just don't tell."
