Don't Do It, a take two
This was my yesterday's song.
It was posted 1stly here
Sharon said to KEXP: "I definitely wrote it with people in mind. Suicide is obviously immediate. People that have mental health issues, that don't take care of themselves or don't know how to, or don't know how to reach out for help, and how helpless they are and how helpless you feel as a friend. ... Even though sometimes I get embarrassed of how, when you just look at lyrics on a page without the music, I'm like, 'if you want to do it, you want to do it, even if I don't want you to.' Like, alone looking at those lyrics, I get embarrassed. But a lot of it is the emotion behind it that makes it feel that much more tangible, and maybe elusive at the same time. It's still a complex thought, to be honest."

Epic 10, from an artist born 20 years later.
Sharon had this brilliant decision of celebrating the 10th anniversary of Epic, her wonderful 2nd album, inviting several artists to cover her songs. The result is just beautiful.
I use to say that Sharon Van Etten was born 20 years later. She's a genius but I feel sorry to testify that most of her public is older than her and if her music was made 10 or 20 years earlier, she'd be a gigantic artist.
Effectively I was waiting for a nice video with Courtney Barnett's tribute to make this post. I usually don't post twice in one day, I hate to take peoples's precious time. But once this fantastic last video below came out JUST one hour ago, I had to anticipate this post about this 10th Anniversary.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)

reason to believe
Laetitia Tamko AKA Vagabon is a young singer. She started her career 6 years ago and I wouldn't know her if it weren't for this lovely cover with Courtney Barnett, out a week ago.
This song is mainly known for the versions of Rod Stewart, known for generations in all universes and its parallels and beyond them. Tim Hardin was such a great composer. He made this song, as the one I posted days before here, "If I Were a Carpenter" and many more covered with huge success by several artists. Sorry about this weak video, but here's Tim:
