Eddi Reader's "Prayer Wheel", on the 1997 cd, "Angels and Electricity". This is the most beautiful melody I've heard in a very long time. I had lost the cd for a long time - and then found it in my stuff at my parents' house. It was the perfect day to find it and listen to it, honestly.
"Don't forget about me/Spin a prayer wheel for me sometimes
Don't let me slip out of your mind/Spin a prayer wheel for me sometimes."
I think this is the most beautiful sentiment. It's an amazing song, and she is a wonderful vocalist. She sounds most like Shawn Colvin, but I think that Eddi's voice is stronger, deeper somehow. There's something more substantial there than there is with Shawn, more nuances or something. Whatever it is, it works for me.
