Because I recently discovered the Parenthood series (thank you, Valerie!) I was turned on to Lucy Schwartz, who had a song placement in one of the first few episodes. I looked her up in Apple Music and realized I had bought one of her CDs years ago, but somehow she wasn't really on my radar. Back in my CD buying days, I would go through phases of buying so much music all at once, there wasn't enough time to really listen to any of it. Too bad for me, I didn't realize how great she was all those years ago.
But now, I know. Better late than never, I say.
I started listening to her music this past week and although I love all of it, this particular song stood out. And by stood out, I mean I listened to it on repeat probably a dozen or more times in a row. And loved it more with every listen. I can't stop listening to it and humming it all my waking hours now. And I think I dream about that melody at night...
It's my favorite type of song. It sounds lovely, and sad, and although the lyrics aren't especially complicated, I don't really know exactly what it all means. But I feel what it means. The CD version of the song has cello, and the cello can't help but make you feel something- and DEEPLY.
AND as a bonus, her name is Lucy. What's not to love here?
So here it is- a live version of "You Are You Are", by Lucy Schwartz. My new favorite.
(Please note, that there is no cello on this version- you'll have to find her "Keep Me" EP for that-)
