Nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal

There is something spiritual about two voices a perfect third apart...especially when it really matters. Like the Indigo Girls (or the Indigo Boys as George once called them...that lovable ass), the kind of harmony they do is as close to pure love and devotion as anything I've seen or heard, because it is the product of complete and equal dependence and skilled listening and compromise. In order to sing the kind of close harmonies like that, you're minds have to be in the same place. the emotion has to swell and fall together. It's so beautiful. The closest as I have come to that kind of musical relationship is when I have done harmonies with Shosha. It's magical really.
And thinking about this makes me think of all the times that Shosha and Mama and I used to sit on the floor playing "Kid Fears" and "Prince of Darkness". It was always the same. Me on the melody, Mama on the low harmony, and Shosha on the counter-melody. "My place is of the sun and your place is of the dark..." I stole 1200 Curfews from Benjamin yesterday and I'm trying to burn it but I can't get my CD drive to open. I've got to go to bed now.
