I am afraid of crossing lines, I am afraid of flying blind

As narcissistic as it sounds, sometimes I feel like Brandi Carlile is singing specifically to me. It's as if she's reached right inside my head and yanked out everything I'm thinking and feeling and is belting it back at me with her incredible, emotive voice. In this age of auto-tuned pop groups and inane lyrics, she's a strong, visceral artist. I feel like we're lucky just to be allowed to listen to her music.

This is the opening track from her most recent album, Give up the Ghost. It means a lot to me right now.
