… that is her go-to at karaoke
I’m a real buzzkill at karaoke. I like doing long, sad ballads like Skeeter Davis’ “The End of the World”.
… that sounds as good today as the first time she heard it
Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne” – my favourite song of all time. I limit myself to three listens a year to keep the magic.
… she puts on to relax
“Opposite House” by Cass McCombs. Something about the opening guitar line makes me feel 10 times lighter.
… that was the most difficult to write
Most recently, “Head Alone” – just getting the structure right and getting across what I was trying to say correctly. A real labour of love.
… of her own that her parents like the best
I’m not sure how much they listen, to be honest! I wrote a joke song years ago called “My Mother Is A Pyromaniac” and my parents love that. They always play it for guests. It’s a terrible recording and not a very good song. I’m always like, “Ah, I have two professionally done albums, can you play something from those, maybe?”
