Jar of Hearts

Sooooo, back on the music track- different Music Widget- still great sound. This time around I'm showcasing a (hopefully) upcoming artist. Say good morning to Christina Perri. How did I discover her... Well as anyone who has read knows; I love SYTYCD (look it up!) and the wonderful Stacey Tookey used it in one of her AMAZING contemp pieces. The song got me right away! Jar of Hearts. Story Line, Break Up, Now ex wants back in. He is a collector, he is a ripper of hearts and emotions. It's a song that gets you from the start. With just a slight rasp in her voice, almost as if she's singing it directly to you and not for a CD. Not to be dramatic, but she sounds hurt. It sounds personal. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? The chorus also rings angered, but not spiteful. Almost as if she might reconsider. But nope! Don't come back at all. Then the mid section changes and shows a nice range of vocals, to show that she is a not a talker singer, but a girl with pipes. My fave line in the song is "You lost the love I loved the most." So raw at that point. And then the very end has a climax of vocals and then just a sigh of sadness. There is still something there, but not want or need.
Such a great song! Check it out below and tell me what ya think!
