Good Woman-Cat Power
I fucking swear this song was recorded at 3 am in some shoddy cold studio. I think maybe Cat Power was out drinking, getting really fucked up, and she came in and sang this, her voice breaking apart in spots from cigarettes, liquor and pain. The lyrics are heartwrenching...she's basically telling someone that for her to be a good woman, and him a good man, she has to leave him. First time i heard this song, i was walking home at night in NY in a cold cold rain. It wasnt even late...probably just after work, but winter, dark. From the bus to the front door of my apartment, its probably the length of this song. By my front door, i was practically sobbing. Its hard to pick your favorite Cat Power song...but this, well, this is mine.

Transference. I think you would sing like that after 3 am drunk... :) ha ha. but seriously, I will need to check this one out. I like catpower a lot but sometimes she is too much, even though her songs are so simple. They still are too much.
