Pantry Blues

Ever had a song that convinces you that you are a good singer? Well, let me tell you that if Eddie and the boys ever need a backup singer for “Nothingman”, I am their girl. On the Live on Two Legs version, I sound awesome. I do the harmonies, and I can belt it out with urgent conviction.

Of course, that’s how it sounds in my head. The key is to have the music loud enough that you can’t actually hear yourself very well. If I had a set of those headphones that real singers wear, I would probably be horrified.

In my car though, I sound great. And in my kitchen, I’m at the top of my game. Must be the high ceilings – acoustics, you know. Then I walk into the pantry, and the dream is over.
