“Wake up, I’m trying to show you…”
Love is a weird thing, we all know that. Whether you’re in love, have been in love, have been burned by love, its power has probably has fooled you a time or two. And that’s okay, as long as you’re willing to not give up. Love makes us all come clean, sooner or later.
And as Steve Earle once sang, when it comes to love, “sometimes the best that you can do is just jump back in.” We all need to find our fearless hearts.
I admire Hayley Taylor for defining her idea of a true love, one that requires “no more wishing.” Taylor, a singer-songwriter born in Michigan and raised in Los Angeles, has been called “refreshingly unassuming” by Pitchfork. That’s high praise, if you ask me.
Taylor’s One Foot in Front of the Other was released yesterday. Have a listen to “No More Wishing” below!
