Katie Herzig
Katie Herzig is amazing! I have been listening to her album ‘Apple Tree’ non stop lately. It is refreshing, happy, calming and puts you in a good mood all at once. Her lyrics flow and just make you want to sing along. She has three albums out, Watch Them Fall, Weightless, and the newest, Apple Tree. Funny that ‘Watch them fall’ was a title because I used to own a domain of the same name. My inspiration was from the Prince song ‘7′ though. Anyway! I adore the fact she is the songwriter to the songs she sings because sometimes I feel like if an artist is singing words someone else wrote, you don’t get the same real emotion as opposed to what you feel from someone who is singing the words that are their own. I initially discovered her through her song ‘Sweeter Than This’. The lyrics fit in with what was going on with my life when I first heard it, and I have been (and will always be) a sucker for those type of songs that I can relate to.
Sweeter Than This
- Life is in boxes in back of our car
Driving around with our dreams in a jar
And it’s all right here
I’ll feed you ramen and you’ll braid my hair
Anything goes when you don’t even care
When you’re this far in love
If it gets any sweeter than this I don’t want to know
I don’t want to know
I want a garden and you want a coke
Living is simple when lovers are broke
You can fix anything with a kiss
If it gets any sweeter than this I don’t want to know
If it gets any sweeter than this I don’t want to know
You read your book baby I’ll float away
Taking a nap on your lap in the shade
I could hold your hand all day
If it gets any sweeter than this I don’t want to know…
