One season I was born
Fell down like an acorn
I am the only tree
And everybody leaves.
Chalk that up to “lines I wish I’d written.” The Roches were part of my college soundtrack. I loved them. Loved them. I’m a big fan of trios, and these chix have such interesting voices, their lyrics are fantastic, and there was always something so real—and thus oddly empowering—about them. I can’t pick a favorite Roches song, but this one does open with those lines, and the dissonant harmonies accompanying the dissonant subject matter shows (in my opinion) their incredible interpretation and abilities.

One of my favorite Roches song was Hammond. Made me think of Hammond, Ind.
I posted a Poi song today, hope you aren't too mad for stealing what I think may be "your song". I plan to post more as I'm just mad about Poi.
"Go have a dream and hump it"? LOL!
Dissonant harmonies is right! But you're also right that it fits the subject matter. Thanks for giving me a much-needed reminder about The Roches.
Another new musical discovery!
