My Thoughts:
It was only a matter of time. There are certain moments in my musical life that I hold as defining moments, which pretty much shaped my musical tastes going forward, the first time I heard a Rachael Yamagata song is one of them. It was at Tower Records at a XPN listening booth and it actual wasn't this CD - it was the EP and the song, Collide, isn't even on this CD, but when I heard it I felt like a had found a missing piece of myself. Most of the songs from that EP are on this CD are on here and every song is great. I have spent years analyzing these songs and applying them to my own life. Rachael is such an amazing talent and I hope she has years and years of success in front her.
Reminds me of: how excited I get when I introduce Rachael music to other people for the first time. whole new worlds.
Random Fact:
Because Rachael is super fun and super random, Survivor asked her to be on the show, she declined. Rachael was originally in a funk bank called Bumpus, where she dated one of the band members. Their breakup is what inspired the song "Reason Why"

Worn Me Down:
Reason Why:
Not on the album, but you just have to hear this.
