Rachael Yamagata

Rachael Yamagata is another singer/songwriter that I discovered back in the day. She had a minor hit and has been on a couple of soundtracks. She's brilliant. I was privelaged enough to see her perform in a small tent at Sundance 2010. I was only 20 feet away from her and cried most of the performance because 1. very surreal moment 2. she was incredible 3. my future husband was with me.  (plus, I got a hug and an autograph after the show!!!)

Rachael has a new album coming out soon (October I think) and I thought I'd share with you guys a new video and lyrics. 

I get a little selfish with Rachael. I want people to know and love her, but I want to keep her all to myself also, maybe more. So it's a special gift :)

"Even If I Don't"

I miss you most in the morning
Most every morning
I wake up thinking
I could call
I could come visit
I could come running
We could relive it

But when I think of all that we've been through
Going back to you
Seems such a foolish thing to do
I hope you know
That even if I don't
I wanted to

All those words
You said at the ending
Were pretty revealing
And I can't forget them
All those ways
We missed at connecting
Despite all our trying
It always came back to
What I couldn't give you

So when I think of starting up again
Or trying to be friends
It seems impossible to do
That even if we can't
I wanted to

Who knows why
Two people perfectly aligned
Should ever have to find themselves apart
I'll never understand my heart

I miss you
Most in the morning
Most every morning
I wake up crying
