Day 74: March 15: Jesse
"He cut out my heart like a paper doll."
I've always thought of this song as a Carly classic that doesn't get it's fair due when you think of Carly's greatest hits. I still think it's really catchy but listening more closely the lyrics are oddly misogynistic. How will she ever survive without this worthless guy who broke her heart? James sings back up. If you don't think about it much it's a fun four minutes.
Another song called Jessie about getting back with someone who probably isn't very good for you- this time with the gender flipped. When Jana and I first heard this song about these two tangled lovers and their cat names Moses we thought Elton John had released a new song. Instead we fell in love with Joshua Kadison. This album was his only hit (especially the track Picture Postcards from LA) but we loved the next three or four albums before he more or less disappeared. If you don't know him, you should.
