thanks for the shared pleasure 🙂
Then, concerning the tag “singer-songwriter”.
A tag is just a tag of course. A more accurate tag would probably be a bit extended, like “rock, folk and alt-country singer-songwriter”. This is what she is called in her bio’s on last.fm and wikipedia.com.
Adding “rock” is to acknowledge that she is not the just-soft-and-gentle type of artist but one that also, well, rocks.
But the “singer-songwriter” part also makes sense, though it’s a bit more elusive. I think it has to do with individualism, the image of someone solitary struggling with words and rythm and melody. It also has to do with the importance of the lyrics.But to you she is ultimately a diva, i understand? That means she’s sexy and independent and a great live-performer, perhaps?
Lucinda is a poet and she has the guts to be honest.
When “Car wheels” came out I wasn’t so much into singer-songwriters (this is a large category for me containing for instance Dylan, Cohen and Vega), but still the title song clung to my mind.
Recently i discovered “West” and was swept away. The song “Unsuffer me” has made me weep several times.
“Surround my heartbeat with your fingertips”, how beautiful can it get?
Now i’m picking up on the other albums. Yesterday night i listened to World without tears, and was once again touched.
I’m very glad to have tickets for her show in Haarlem (the netherlands) next week. (hope i don’t have to cry haha)
