"How Lucky We Are," Meiko

Song: "How Lucky We Are"
Album: Meiko
Artist: meiko

I'm a fan of this down-to-earth, girl-next-door style. When a song can stand on it's melody alone, it's a winner. She could do a Suzanne Vega style a capella version of this and it would sound great. Meiko has mastered the inflections of hotness, but this does not obscure the underlying beauty of her voice. This song conjures a vision of coffee in the kitchen and a voice so beautiful that I don't want to speak, just listen to her talk about how lucky we are.

"One day we'll turn on the TV and we won't see nothing 'bout war."
Amen.
