Melissa Ferrick quotes:

I hope I find a really gorgeous woman, that I fall completely and madly in love with. I hope I find a sense of peace within myself about not always wondering if there's something better around the corner. All those things. Just a sense of being settled inside my skin. That's what I'm looking for.

Mal Blum's arrival on the indie scene gives us all hope for the future of smart music.

Without love you can only resist, without feeling you can't exist.

My heart can't stop beating faster, every time I hear your name or your laughter.

Songs are snapshots of what you're going through, and mine involve questioning, searching for completion, joy, and truth, and desperation for relief. I'm satisfied with my progress as a writer and a human being, and I know I'm going to get better at both. There will be times when I'll feel like I'm not improving, and I'll get through that.
