I had stopped playing the piano for a year before this. I saw “silent all these years” on mtv as I was sitting in my basement alone in the summer of ’93, a recent transplant to a new town where I knew no one. I think I literally dropped my jaw and walked up close to the TV as she sang, “Excuse me but can I be you for awhile.” It changed my life. I went right over to the piano when the song finished and I haven’t stopped since. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but “Tear in Your Hand” transports and lifts me every time.
To this day I put this album on when I feel directionless and don’t know what I’m doing. It’s like an instant reminder of who you are.
