Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones (born November 8, 1954) is an American vocalist, musician, songwriter, and producer. Over the course of a career of over three decades, Jones has recorded in various musical styles including rock, R&B, blues, pop, soul, and jazz standards. Her songwriting has been characterized as "a blend of bravado and vulnerability [that] wavers on indefinable borders." She is also known for her unique singing style, especially in live performances. One concert reviewer, describing her rendering of "We Belong Together," states she "reached her apex, skating from swells into near screams into breathy whispers, from pontillist stacatto scats into brassy, trumpetlike bursts." more »

What you wish for, what you think
The photographs you carry around
What whispers to yourself when you're finally gone
What you take when you go

Adds up to the big number
What you leave with
Who you know
Makes the big picture matter

It doesn't matter if you're fat
Wear a helmet or wear a hat
If you're sorry or if you're sure
Who you are is who you were, who you were matters

So deep inside yourself
Looking out at everyone else
Think a thing, in a while you meet it on the street
Because it matters...

Ah...house across the sand
