Sometimes, I don’t listen to her for months, next I take an album of hers and listen to it non-stop. Recently I had a Vagabond Days phase, and Marathon Kiss stuck to my mind. It’s a beautiful song of love and carpe diem, and perfect to listen to if a day is just a tad too grey.

That is sad that she can’t remember the words. I have read a little bit about her life, but she never really was on my radar.
