I love Tristan Prettyman. From the first time I saw her open for Blues Traveler and then again for Jason Mraz at Luther College I have severely loved her. I say severely because she is one of those artists that has the ability to reach any situation at any time or point in my life and she also has been an artist that has really helped me through some severe physical pain: read she has made migraine headaches go away. But I am in love with the first single Madly-off her new album Hello which hasn't been released yet. It's traditional Tristan -upbeat guitar playin, singin chica-but it also has the ability to really reach the soul and give me a song that provides space for conflicted feelings. It incites similar feelings as Joni Mitchell's All I Want. Read: You hurt me but I still potentially love you. Maybe I am truly just the most bittersweet person of life-but the songs, movies, and T.V. that touches the pain and joy of life are the ones that really speak to me. At least this one speaks pretty easily in a fun ad somewhat optimistic way.

lyrics
Madly - Tristan Prettyman
I'm not surprised that you still call
I'm not surprised
I'm all surprised that i don't answer
pick up the phone to call you back
pick up the phone to call you back
ain't it funny how things work out like that
'cause the time that it takes to open my eyes
is the time that it took me to realize
madly madly madly
tell me that you need me
show me I'm the only and thats all i need to know.
madly madly madly
if you really love me,
when you see me leave and baby, just let me go
well i've been good, no i've been great
you say you're in a better place
and honestly, i might be for ya
but there's a tone in my voice that gives away my selfish choice.
can my heart beat any faster?
'cause the time that it takes to pass me by
is the time that it took me to realize
madly madly madly
tell me that you need me
show me I'm the only and thats all i need to know
madly madly madly
if you really love me,
when you see me leave and baby, just let me go
we'll give it up, try to find
what was with us all the time
gotta lose some things, if you're ever gonna get on by
and who was wrong, who was right
always end up in a fight
i thought i'd crumble, but no I'm fine.
madly madly madly
if you really love me
when you see me leave and just let me go
madly madly madly
well tell me that you need me and show me I'm the only and that's all i need to
know know know know
madly madly madly
if you really love me
when you see me leave and baby just let it go-no
madly madly madly
tell me that you want me
when you see me leave and baby
just let me go
