You Can Close Your Eyes

Welp, the great Brooke Fraser has done it again. On this very day after Christopher Columbus Day she has officially released her new CD! It is amazing and I recommend it 100%.

Tonight as I was walking home from the library a new song of hers came on, a cover of James Taylor's "You Can Close Your Eyes" feat. William Fitzsimmons. I hadn't heard it since I was a kindergartner or some craziness like that, so it immediately brought me to tears. I remember my Mama singing it to me before bed when I was just a little kid with an afro. Music's power calls forth such huge aspects of life and being and can elicit emotions in such a way that is impossible with mere words. Here is James Taylor's version of the song.
