I don't know just where i'm going
and tomorrow it's a little overwhelming
and the air is cold and i'm not the same anymore
I've been running in your direction for too long now
I've lost my own reflection
and I can't look down if you're not there to catch me when I fall

If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my right of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
at least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid 'cause it's my turn to be brave

All along all I ever wanted was to be the light when your life was daunting
but i can't see mine when I feel as though you're pushing me away
Well, whose to blame?
Are we making the right choices?
'Cause we can't be sure if we're hearing our own voices
As we close the door even though we are so desperate to stay

If this is the moment I stand here on my own

If this is my right of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
at least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid 'cause it's my turn to be brave

and I might still cry
and I might still bleed
these thorns in my side
this heart on my sleeve
and lightning may strike this ground at my feet
and I might still crash
but I still believe

This is the moment I stand here all alone
With everything I have inside everything I own
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave

If this is the last time before we say goodbye
at least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid it's my turn to be brave

1. I loooove Idina Menzel.

I'm a musical theatre nerd, and she played Maureen in RENT and Elphaba in Wicked. She is amazing.

Here's one I discovered a few years back: Maia Sharp

4. I know it's been a few months...

But Gray Warrior turned me onto this band called Texas completely by accident. The singer is quite attractive.
And the songs are Romantic and deep....

5. Well, I sort of rediscovered one: Donna Jean

Singer Donna Jean Godchaux MacKay has contributed to work by an incredible array of acts. Originally from Alabama, she launched her career at a young age, serving as a session singer with Muscle Shoals Studios and Fame Studios. She performed on singles by Elvis Presley, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and Percy Sledge, among many others, and she sang for The Grateful Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band in the '70s. Hear Donna Jean and the Tricksters perform a concert from WXPN and World Café Live in Philadelphia.

After leaving The Grateful Dead, she and her husband Keith Godchaux created the band Heart of Gold, which continued into the 1990s. In 2006, she joined up with six other musicians she'd met during a benefit concert for the Dead's Rex Foundation. The Tricksters, originally the Zen Tricksters, originated in Long Island in the '80s, becoming one of the most fondly regarded Dead-oriented bands around. Since joining forces, Donna Jean and the Tricksters recorded a self-titled debut album, which came out late last month.

....

All in all, this is some of the better 'Dead' genre material I've heard, and I'm happy to see Donna has left new wave born-again Gospel music behind. If you're patient, you'll hear and appreciate her magic voice, although I suspect, as always, her best work is done in the studio.

Listen to an entire set of Donna Jean and the Zen Tricksters here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=19244332
