"We All Fall Down"

The folks who know me best know that I am a huge fan of Shawn Colvin.  Prior to meeting my wife, I always attended her concerts alone.  They were almost a religious experience that I didn't want to share with anyone else.  And while I always eagerly awaited a new, all-to-rare album, the first times listening to those albums were often disappointing.  It was almost as if I was saying to myself that the new simply cannot match the old.  Perhaps this is true.  And yet without deviation over time -- short or long -- I've come to love each and every Colvin album.  (Well, so far except the Lullaby album.  I have only ever give that album one listen.)  It has been at least six month, probably more, since I last listened to her latest album and today while searching for any upcoming Colvin shows in our area, I was greeted by her video for We All Fall Down.  The video itself is classic, charming, weird Colvin.  I'll throw that album on this weekend.  And who knows, maybe at some point I'll listen to Lullaby a second time.



And also, Arrrrrrgggghhhhhh!
