Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead"

"Still tired of standing still
Tired of living- still
Every day I dream of leaving"

Bethlehem
Paula Cole
Immortal lyrics conbined with unconventionally beautiful music.  Her first album, Harbinger, is by far the best- although This Fire is good too and Amen is ok.   Ironically her popular songs are the worst (with the exception of "Me") 



Favorite songs: Saturn Girl, Bethlehem, I am so Ordinary, Dear Gertrude, She Can't feel Anything Anymore, The Ladder, Mississippi, Nietzsche's Eyes, Me, Amen,

"It doesn't mean much.

Favorite songs: Possesion, Good Enough, Hold on, Angel, Mary, Sweet Surrender, Adia, Do what you have to do, Prayer of St. Francis,

All I really Want
Alanis Morrissette
I really liked Jagged little pill, but the new album is not very good- she kind of makes up the songs as she goes along.
Favorite songs- All I really Want, Mary Jane, Wake up, Joining You,One Hand In My Pocket, joining you
"Wouldn't it be nice if I could melt myself like ice
or outrun my skin and just be pure wind
oh fragile flame where no one sees the same"

Fat Boy
Jewel

Her second album is one of the only 4 CDs I own (the other 30 or so are burnt).   Sometimes her music is a little too girlish and optimistic but there are still some good songs


Favorite songs- Barcelona, Life Uncommon, Fat Boy, Deep Wate Enter From the East, Hands, Pieces of You
