Career Change

When Kate York stood on the stage tonight and said,

"This song is a happy song. It is probably the only happy song I have written, so sit back and enjoy it."

I thought - Holy Cow, that is me. I knew at that moment I needed to pick my guitar back up and start lessons all over again . . . I'm going to be a singer. I doubt that is really in the cards for me, but the fact that all the songs she writes are sad, angry, confused, angst-y, and there is only one or two happy ones - I knew that is how I would be if I were a singer. Sad, but true.

Sarah McLachlan said something similar when i saw her in concert a couple of years ago...she said 'well, this is a love song...and actually, it's the first REAL love song i've ever written. i'm the queen of love songs where everyone's f**ked over in the end, so this one, believe it or not, actually ends well.'
