By the start of the first chorus to Take You Home by Scars on 45, I can feel the tears well up for some reason. Not sure why I have such a quick, emotional response, but I guess sometimes art does that to you.

Amanda Palmer ~ The art of asking
Amanda Palmer gave a TED talk in early 2013 that kinda blew me away. As it started, I was a bit put off or threatened by this bold woman—such are my insecurities. But as I listened, I immediately began to respect this artist, this thinking, feeling, connecting human...
Keep me in your heart (for awhile) ~ Warren Zevon ~ Lyrics
Warren Zevon ~ Keep Me in Your Heart ~ I didn't discover this poignant, moving song by the late Warren Zevon until after my Mom died. It would have been the perfect tribute...And all that she would have asked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dscsGRjpxk keep me in...
