Thanks to Nathaniel and Shawn, i just put up two new Ani songs on the lyrics site: Knuckle Down and Recoil. I hear there are four more out there so if you have em, send em my way!

As for these new songs, woah… they’re intense and full of pain. ::sigh:: I wish that i didn’t cringe every time that a new Ani song came out because the raw emotional quality draws me in so intimately. I’ve always found it eerie to hear her songs because i can grok her expression at a level that i’ve never recognized with other artists.

but somewhere between hollywood and its pretty happiness
and an anguish so infinite
it’s anybody’s guess
is a place where people are all teachers
and this just one long class
and that ass will get you nowhere tonight
…
and i know that i was warned – still it was not what i’d hoped
cause i think i’m done comin’ to get closer
to some imagined bliss
i gotta knuckle down just be ok with this
i gotta knuckle down just be ok with this
course that star struck girl is really someone i miss
