Music Monday: Still Uninvited

So, this song by Alanis Morissette has been speaking to me about a big bad fight in an upcoming WIP, but when I heard this version it blew me out of the water. I love Brandi Carlisle and she did this total justice. Rage on, sister. Rage.

UninvitedSong by Alanis Morissette
Like anyone would beI am flattered by your fascination with meLike any hot-blooded womanI have simply wanted an object to craveBut you, you're not allowedYou're uninvitedAn unfortunate slight
Must be strangely excitingTo watch the stoic squirmMust be somewhat hearteningTo watch shepherd need shepherdBut you, you're not allowedYou're uninvitedAn unfortunate slight
Like any uncharted territoryI must seem greatly intriguingYou speak of my love likeYou have experienced love like mine beforeBut this is not allowedYou're uninvitedAn unfortunate slight
I don't think you unworthyI need a moment to deliberate

Music Monday - Wherever Is Your Heart

I'm already thinking about the next Nano event, and I'm leaving Orana behind for awhile, so I'm looking at human relationships rather than elves and Qatu and bored deities. This song speaks to a very basic part of a healthy relationship, be it romantic or platonic - the need to have a home, whatever that looks like, and what makes something/somwhere home. 
Also, y'all - Brandi Carlile. If you haven't discovered her yet, you are in for a treat. Enjoy.

"Wherever Is Your Heart"

By Brandi Carlile

I think it's time we found a way back home

You lose so many things you love as you grow

I missed the days when I was just a kid

My fear became my shadow, I swear it did

Wherever is your heart I call home

Wherever is your heart I call home

Though your feet may take you far from me, I know

Wherever is your heart I call home

You made me feel like I was always falling

Always falling down without a place to land

Somewhere in the distance I heard you calling

Oh it hurts so bad to let go of your hand

Wherever is your heart I call home

Wherever is your heart I call home

Though your feet may take you far from me, I know

Wherever is your heart I call home

Even when you're high, you can get low

Even with your friends you love, you're still alone

We always find the darkest place to go

God forgive our minds, we were born to roam

Wherever is your heart I call home

Wherever is your heart I call home

Though your feet may take you far from me, I know

Wherever is your heart I call home

Oh God forgive my mind, oh God forgive my mind

When I come home, when I come home

Oh God forgive my mind

There's a road that's long and winding, it hollers home

I'm calling home

Oh God forgive my mind, oh God forgive my mind

When I come home, when I come home

Oh God forgive my mind, oh God forgive my mind

When I come home, when I come home

Wherever is your heart I call home

Wherever is your heart I call home

Though your feet may take you far from me, I know

Wherever is your heart I call home

Wherever is your heart I call home

Wherever is your heart I call home

Though your feet may take you far from me, I know

Wherever is your heart I call home
