From the 2016 album All My Secrets by Jessamyn Rains
lyrics
The man at the coffee shop told me I gotta love my self
So I bought me some secondhand clothes
Some dollar store makeup and some high-heeled shoes
And I went out to face the world
How can I live without love...
The beggar at the station, he wants to take my cash
But I’ve only got enough to catch my train
As I roll on past him into my lonely life
My heart sings its sad refrain
How can I live without love…
I remember the feast
I can see it through the window
Memories of fullness and life
Waiting for the crumbs
To come falling from the table
I’m eating with the beggars tonight
But it’s all right
How can I live without love..

Ari Hest's music is melodic and meaningful, and he is surely among the best recent songwriters of any genre. Twelve Mondays, a collection of remixed fan favorites, does much to demonstrate this. Jessamyn Rains
Inspired by life in lockdown, Fuzzy Jones's new astral folk EP is sobering but playful, girded with expansive production and ample wit. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 18, 2020
