Ask Leahpeah

Dear Leahpeah,

Do you have a favorite song? I love Amazing Grace. I humm it to myself when I’m feeling low and it helps lift my spirits. I’d love to know if you have one.

Sincerely,
Me (really, just me)

Dear Me (really, just you)

I would be hard-pressed to pick only one favorite song since music is my life (along with Dr. Pepper, reality TV, photos of my kids and painting), but one of my favorite songs is by Alanis Morissette called That I Would Be Good. Here are the lyrics:

That I would be good even if I did nothing
That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
That I would be good if I got and stayed sick
That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

That I would be fine even even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great if I was no longer queen
That I would be grand if I was not all knowing

That I would be loved even when I numb myself
That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
That I would be loved even when I was fuming
That I would be good even if I was clingy

That I would be good even if I lost sanity
That I would be good
Whether with or without you
