Tendering

The first song in the CD Woman Songs Peace Songs is “Tendering” and I still identify with the very personal focus that spurred the original writing. Now there seems a whole new level on top of that personal one. It’s the level that speaks to the whirlwind of things going on in the world, in this country, sometimes in our own backyards. And it definitely speaks to that feeling of being alone and overwhelmed.

Please, right now, I need some tendering. I want some tendering. And I give some tendering too.

Step Close

This song was written out of my experience years ago, when it seemed I felt like I wanted to be close to someone, and then when it happened, I wanted to be alone again. Ever feel that way?

Like close is one thing—but a person can get too close, too smothery, where the boundaries almost get merged and there is no me, and no you, as separate people, anymore.

That’s the kind of closeness that I guess even now I don’t want.

Don’t Write Me a Letter

I really wrote this because it happened to a friend of mine who was in a relationship and he broke it off with a letter.

Seemed disrespectful to me.

You talk a lot when you’re starting a relationship, and you keep talking as it moves along.

It only seems right that when it’s not working for one of you, that that person would have the courtesy to say “We need to get together and talk.”

Only kind of country-music-sound song I’ve ever written.
