Diane Birch - Rise Up

Like my fellow JW, I too fall in love with songs based on their lyrics. After seeing Sara Bareilles in concert twice, I've also been on a "girl playing piano and singing" kick. Diane Birch is a new singer-songwriter that I can't wait to watch grow. This song, "Rise Up" pretty much sums up the past few years of my life. For those of you who don't know me that well, basically I have semi-strict parents who think I'm a raging liberal with an "extremely independent mind." I can laugh about this now, but it used to really bother me before. The chorus is the best...

"But if it's happiness you want, that's what you'll get
You gotta rise up little sister, turn on the light
Wise up to the stories you've been told
'Cause love don't come in black and white"

Jessica - This is such a great way to keep each other updated on music....why didn't you think of this sooner?! It's so much fun!
