What Ever Happened to Edie Brickell?

Yeah, I know she married Paul Simon, who is about 30 years her senior and eww. According to Wikipedia, she has made a few albums over the years, none reached mainstream radio, but I will check them out on iTunes. However, the album Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars is on my top 10 list of favorite albums of all time. It is filled with brilliantly written lyrics and great melodies. On my drive to work this morning, my iPod played one of my favorite songs from the CD and one which I can certainly relate to.

CIRCLE
Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
On you touching ground with us.
But, I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems. And I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems.

And being alone Is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be.
When I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye.

Everything is temporary anyway.
When the streets are wet --
The color slip into the sky.
But I don't know why that means you and I are-
that means you and....I quit -- I give up.
Nothin's good enough for anybody else it seems.
But I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems.

And being alone Is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be.
When I'm by myself nobody else can say...

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around.
Halalalalalala
