Annelise, Annelise Passing right by you No joy ever accrues No blessings for you
Annelise, Annelise As soon as you’re born Always reaping their scorn Lost and forlorn
Annelise, all your crying
All your cries unheard
Annelise, Annelise One thing before I leave No one saw you bereaved No one ever believes
Annelise, all your crying All your cries unheard

Annelise Mike Shanley's favorite LPC song. Another Sept. 11 song, ostensibly about the fate of the homeless who lived in and around the WTC (I hope that's not too sentimental). I'm not sure what I think of the harmonies on this tune. Sometimes they sound quirky and great, but sometimes... not too good. I won't go into a lengthy exegesis on the deficiencies of my voice, but let's just say I have to be real careful about holding pitch and tone. All my favorite singers are technically awful but personally so engaging. Alex Chilton could sing when he was in Big Star, but he's my only fave rave who comes to mind (like, Patti Smith is a great singer who is anything but a Great Singer).
