falling is like this – Ani DiFranco (out of range, © 1994)

you give me that look that’s like laughing with liquid in your mouth
like you’re choosing between choking and spitting it all out
like you’re trying to fight gravity
on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and falling is like this

Just about the best little song about love ever written I think…

If you ever want one Ani CD, this is the one!  She got ‘distracted’ for a while by love & chilled on the ‘overtly political songwriting’ .  It is just about as perfect as an album can be.  If you desire Ani for her overtly political songwriting, which is amazingly perceptive, then I’d make other recommendations.  If you want the downside of the aftermath of the distraction of love, get Dilate. 

Valentine’s Day 2002  song 9 of 20

Any serious introduction to someone should include their views on love shouldn’t it?
