Wonderful artist . . . so happy for her and look forward to lots of happy music. No matter what she plays, her talent shines and makes it contageous!! Sing me a happy song!
Ani's a one in a billion artist, and she's always been striking to me, too, but she is so stunning in this clip. It is that two jawed smile of hers. There seems less tension in her here, she's lighter. Glad I came upon this.
What is up with people not liking sad songs anyway? I guess it's not hip to walk around mourning the loss of friends, family, animals, co-workers, homes, it's okay though. Keeping a positive bend on things has a place, at least biblically.
I hope she'll perform in the Netherlands soon... I missed the last show and she's just freaking awesome!! Her lyrics are... so good... I can't recall another singer with such a lot of metaphors and the words she uses are beautiful. (L) her!
Some people seem to think that you have to be tortured to create something meaningful and that writing from a healthy and happy place makes you naive or devalues what you've said/written before.Songs capture a period in time, a moment that is relevant then for the artist.People grow or fall apart and their work consequently refelcts that.
hmm, I think she's always been fairly melancholy, really. or at least for the last ten years or so.
the worst for me is hearing her speak about anything political, because she sounds so brainwashed and "obligated", like someone is forcing her to do something. i prefer her sense of humor, when she lets out her blacker view of things and paradoxically sounds much happier...
oh my god. is anyone else dying? i think she's amazing. ani fans?! where are you?! sos. SOS. i think this was... amazing. propelling force? amazing. fucking amazing. i love you ani difranco.
@rickydickypants ditto ;) i've adored this woman for more than 15 years...seeing her happy is like watching a dear friend finally find joy. anyone who hasn't been with her through all of it might not understand, but that's ok...they don't need to. she's brilliant...that's all there is to it.
Wow, first time I saw/heard this. Makes me enjoy Ani even more!!!!

There is a ton of creativity and honesty in her music be it happy or sad music. Ani is so talented.
I'm happy that she's happy.
Let's activate! Indeed.

Have you seen/heard her at all over the last decade?
She's happier than she's ever been.
Watch her progression.
Gives me hope, I can say that much.
