My Baby

This is one of those days when the song picks me, and at first blush, I thought the selection a bit cruel given that I am feeling like my baby is really far away, and although this past weekend I was able to enjoy what she sings about in this song:

And when I wanna reach out my hand
It always seems you hold me, dear...

I'm not able to enjoy it anymore. But seeing her in this video, the selection seems not at all cruel and completely empowering - -she inspires me so much that I know when I hear this:

And when they tell me love is pain
I said it might be true for you, honey,
But not for Janis no more, no no no no.

That it's not true for Sarah anymore either. No no no no.
