CJ Forward Playlist 04052005


Album:
Holly Cole

Dark Dear Heart


Snaptrax:
River
Make It Go Away
I've Just Seen A Face
You Want More
World Seems to Come and Go


Canadian singer/songwriter (wow, there's more to that country than just South Park, Mounties and Bryan Adams haha) Holly Cole fits well in smoky jazz lounges (performed as part of the Holly Cole Trio), but there's an inner longing here to rock out as well. But as it is, her strengths are those pop-jazz ballads which make you really pay attention. Even if your wallet's empty.


Make it go away or make it better
Isn't that what love's supposed to do
Make it go away or make it better
Cause I would do either one for you

This is not the way you should see me
This is not the face I recognize
Could I lay my head down here for a moment
Would you sing to me like I'm your child
Cause I'm not angry I'm not crying
I'm just in over my head
You could be the angel that stayed on my shoulder
When all of the other angels left

Make it go away or make it better
Cause I am waking
This more then one should have to take
If you do this for me then I will promise
I'll make it go away for you someday

There are reasons silver linings
There are lessons but I don't care
Cause I just need a hand that I can hold onto
When it's darker then death out there

I'm so cold
And so far away from my home
But tonight you're
You're where I belong
You're everything right
When I'm everything wrong

Make it go away or make it better
Isn't that what love's supposed to do
Make it go away or make it better
Cause I would do either one for you
