With all the disclosures happening right now, a great many of which are decidedly unpleasant to contemplate, perhaps this departure from big picture, collective events will be welcome. This young lady has an exquisite voice and compelling story, and you might want to be sure the tissues are nearby…
Thanks to Aidan for the send.

Here You Go
Listen to me, a wannabe singer
Talk about me, to your lovers, to your friends
Tell them about this girl with black eyes and a foolish dream
I, I only want to write stories that will reach you
and that’s all
Here, here, here, this is who I am
Here I am, and even though I’m exposed, I’m afraid, yes
Here I am, both in the noise and the silence
Look at me, or at least at what’s left of me
Look at me, before I hate myself
What can I tell you that other lips won’t?
It ain’t much, but all that I have, I’ve put it there
Here you go
Here, here, here, this is who I am
Here I am, although exposed, it’s the end
It’s my mouth, it’s my cry, but hey, never mind
Here, here, here, here is
me, my dream, my envy, here’s how I die, here’s how I laugh
Here I am, both in noise and silence
Don’t go, I beg you to stay for a long time
it may not save me, no
but I don’t know what to do without you
Love me like one loves a friend that’s gone forever
I want to be loved, because I don’t know how to love my contours
Here, here, here, this is who I am
Here I am, even if I’m exposed, it’s the end
Here I am, in the noise and in the fury too
Look at me, finally, look into my eyes and my hands
Everything I have is here, it’s my mouth, it’s my cry
Here I am, here I am, here I am
here,
here
Here you go
Here you go
