You better get up for your mama
You better grab the best of your life
I know you’re ready
To get older
Anyhow
Well all you have to do is wander
Over fields of dark time
Where do you find yourself
Feeling lonesome
Do you reckon your body and your mind
Day on earth by the streets at night
Oh yeah
I saw you passing
There in the street lights
Do you have
A home for the morning
And are you holding
Holding on so tight
You say that’s what you have been given
A whole lot of nothing for your time
And have you sunken
Down in your bones
Do you toss and turn and turn at night
And are you holding, holding on so tight
Do you toss and turn and turn at night
And are you holding, holding on so tight
You better grab the best of your life
I know you’re ready
To get older

Feeling lonesome
Do you reckon your body and your mind

Do you have
A home for the morning
And are you holding
Holding on so tight
You say that’s what you have been given
A whole lot of nothing for your time
And have you sunken
Down in your bones
Do you toss and turn and turn at night
And are you holding, holding on so tight
Do you toss and turn and turn at night
And are you holding, holding on so tight

Funny how that works.
Reminded me of the Be Good Tanyas vocally.

Yep, the bass and horns really have that feel. Maybe that's why some people feel a bit jarred by the voice, we're used to a much different voice with this style. And, no wonder, this album was apparently made with the Hodges brothers who backed Green and other musicians in the 70s (Apple Music has this info).
The music is really good, and her voice is smooth and fits well. Another RP discovery for me.
Sounds like an Al Green song.

Completely off topic, but years ago my wife and I attended a public school (kindergarten to grade 8?) musical production of the Wizard of Oz. It was a lot of fun and the young girl that played Dorothy was spectacular. The music was provided by a few of the teachers playing keyboards, bass and electric guitar. This scene, running through the poppies, was set to a version of Purple Haze. The kids didn’t seem to understand why all the adults in the audience were killing themselves laughing.

7 just for the baritone sax.

Weirdly I am made very uncomfortable by Frazey’s voice. But I really like this song and I can sorta dance through the discomfort.
I too love Frazey's voice, it's unique.

Love her voice.
Came running in from the other room to make sure i could rate this and 8 in the hopes of hearing it on RP again sometime in the next three or four months.

Love her sound and story.
Starts out at an 8 to my ears...

Ah, William just back-announced: the Be Good Tanyas! Now I recognize the sound!
A little on the Mazzy Star side. I like.
Digging the Hammond work.
