Haunting.
Beautiful.
Spell-binding.
"Martha Wainwright is a Canadian-American folk-rock singer-songwriter. Wainwright sings "Prosperpina", an elegy (def: an elegy is a mournful, melancholic or plaintive poem) written by her late mother, the legendary folk singer Kate McGarrigle. The song was taken from her forthcoming album Come Home to Mama, the track was recorded in Sean Lennon's New York home studio and continues a lifelong musical dialogue between Wainwright and McGarrigle, who passed away in 2010.
Beautiful, beautiful music. I first heard it yesterday morning and listened to it 5 times - not something I typically do.
