"City," Sara Bareilles

This song is about all of that, and feeling lost and detached, unneeded. This song comes to mind right now, after a bad day, after a whole slew of emotions in too short a period of time. This song still provides a fair amount of solace for me, especially when it's not advice that I need to hear, but an affirmation that somebody else out there understands.
The song(s) that have really been on my mind all week, however, belong to a girl named Caroline Rose. She is an alum of my school and I stumbled across her music several years ago through the magic of networking on Facebook (I was in the same network, I had some of the same friends). Her music wasn't up for sale at the time, but now it is, and this weekend, I downloaded her first EP, the self-titled "Caroline Rose." I first fell in love with her music through the song "Let Me In," which sounds as if it might be our school, but I can't tell for sure ... but anyway, the rest of this particular EP is just as good (if you are into folk, acoustic type music). "Back East" and "Lay With You," "September" ... all good.
Her newest album seems to be a lot more Americana/folk-oriented and less to my liking, but anyway ... She doesn't have much of a presence on YouTube, aside from a few not-so-clearly shot live videos, so I didn't bother with it. Really earthy-sounding stuff; reminds me of winters in New England, stoking a fire in the fireplace I've never had, nursing a mug of hot chocolate, and home.
