And then…
On your way back home from a mad dash to get your much needed refill of antidepressants you hear Beth Orton sing to you. And she sings Ooh Child. And then you cry. And you realize that you needed to hear this song and that you needed this cry. And then you think that someday things will be brighter.
And maybe the Universe isn’t a total asshole because it had the good sense to let me hear the entire damn song.

hi cali - i’m just catching up on your blog. i’m so sorry GM was so sick and confused. please don’t ever question whether you will be a good parent or not. you will be amazing. i have no doubt. taking care of GM is not comparable. you are wonderful with her, and deep down she knows it. she loves you.
i’m so excited about your growing funds… fantastic!
hang in there, friend…
my universe song is: “i hope you dance” (lee ann womack) ~ and only rarely is the universe kind enough to let me here the entire thing. this may or may not be because It Always Makes Me Cry. tonight, tho…just hearing the tail end while surfing the radio channels before heading into work, i was already a little &tearful* and so it didnt matter.
sometimes those in-the-car cries are the best.
it WILL be brighter for all of us… says the girl who is more than a little weary of carrying all the hope in the world for The Most Wanted Thing That Likely Wont Ever Happen.
hmph. what a fucking downer i am. sorry honey.
love you tons!

That is a beautiful song. I’ve never heard it before, actually.
I’ve never heard that song either - it’s a lovely song. A perfect cry-in-the-car song. I think a good cry is cathartic sometimes.
Cal, I hope things are getting better for you, I’m so sorry GM has been so sick and yes, it sounded incredibly difficult caring for her with those needs. You are amazing and you will be a great parent. And tears are healing and Beth Orton sang for you.

That’s one of my favorite catharsis songs. I didn’t know that version, though; thanks.
Damn, girl…I needed that. We’re hitting too many damned roadblocks right now.
I don’t recognize the name. I will have to see if my puter will play it. It’s slow and breaks things up so much. I have several of those cry in the car songs. They do seem to help.
Ok yes, I’ve heard the song, not that version which is beautiful but I’ve heard the song before.
well said. and i too am sorry to hear your GM’s been ill… hoping for a speedy recovery. much love xxxx
I’d never heard that song before. Beth Orton isn’t that big in the UK. I needed that song today too. Thanks Cali.
wow. i havent ever heard this version ~ but i went for a drive after work last night, and heard the version *i* have always known… and smiled
this version is amazing…thank you for sharing it with us!!!
Oh! I love that song and I so needed to hear that today. Infact I may be playing it for the rest of the week as I work through some emotions!! Kristine
I can’t even think of the name of my “cry in the car song”..Its a country song about a little girl and her daddy shoots her mommy and Jesus is by her side while she watches..depressing right? I tell you…it makes you cry!
I luuvre Beth - she soothes my soul - many many times. Glad it helped…
