When I first got introduced to Ani (thank you Monica!), my life was changed forever.  Ani has helped me through really tough times and has taught me to be sure in who I am.

Ani is amazing since she never has had a record deal, but instead started her own label, known as Righteous Babe Records. You can find out more at the Righteous Babe website.  While you're there, make sure to pick up her new double CD, Revelling / Reckoning.  It is beautiful, but what else would you expect from Ani?

Rather than boring you with tons of details about Ani and why I like her, I decided to let her words speak for themselves.  I decided to share with you some of my favorite Ani quotes.  Maybe one of them will inspire you. 

Life is a sleazy stranger
who looks vaguely familiar
Flirting with a bimbo named Disaster
at the end of the bar

You've got your whole life
to do something
and that's not that long

Maybe you can keep me
From every being happy
But you're not gonna stop me
From having fun

Little Plastic Castles

Some people wear their smile like a disguise
Those people who smile a lot
watch the eyes
I know it 'cuz I'm like that a lot
You think everything's o.k.
and it is
'til it's not
maybe we are both good people
who've done some bad things
i just hope it was o.k.
i know it wasn't perfect
i hope in the end
we can laugh and say . . .
it was all worth it

Sometimes it seems like love
is just a fancy word for compromise

Little Plastic Castles

I used to be a superhero
No one could hurt me
No, not even myself
You are like a phone booth
that I somehow stumbled into
Now look at me,
I am just like everybody else
 

coming of age during a plague of Regan and Bush
watching capitalism gun down democracy
It had this effect on me I guess

 

Science chases money
and money chases its tail
The best minds of my generation can't make bail
The bacteria are coming to take us down, that's my prediction
It's the answer to this culture of the quick-fix prescription
