Darlin’ ukulele
That I’ve been dreaming of
Darlin’ ukulele
That I love
When I’m in San Francisco
I’m dreaming all the time
Deep in the park
Where the constellations shine
Darlin’ ukulele
That I been dreaming of
Darlin’ ukulele
That I love
Dreaming by the ocean
Walking by the sea
Talking to a starfish
And the mermaids sing to me
~ Jolie Holland
Maybe I’ve been listening to this song a lot lately. It’s calming.
Sometimes I think I don’t discover music until way later than everyone else.
Other times music in my collection goes unlistened to… and I don’t even realize its part of my music collection.
A little bit of both happened with Jolie Holland.
Somehow I had the album Escondida in my music collection. I randomly saw the album cover and decided to listen to it over the weekend. It quickly has become all I’ve listened to the last few days (OK… full disclosure… I listened to the entire radio broadcast drama of Empire Strikes Back while driving 8 hours from Cleveland to Queensbury…. but aside from that).
Anyways… give it a listen. I’ve started moving on to her more recent albums. This one is from 2005 and it holds up wonderfully.
