Julie Doiron | Heart And Crime

Can it possibly mean as much to her?
CD, Jagjaguwar/Konkurrent

Tekst: Bas Ickenroth

Publicatiedatum: 21 juni 2002

Do you know the feeling? As if a record is made just for you - and only you. A personal experience. Julie Doiron made her album Heart And Crime for me. When she sings, she does that because she wants to tell me something. She looks at me, like a friend, and she tells a story about her fears and the things she experienced lately. And I listen. Quietly. I don't want to miss anything in her stories. Because I adore her. She sits in front of me, her guitar leaning on her upper leg. She whispers her lyrics and softly touches the strings of her guitar. In the background of the room sits Tragically Hip singer Gordon Downie, whispering along with her. In another room, somebody embraces some cymbals and plays some tones on a trumpet. "Who will be the one?" she asks. I keep my mouth shut, because I feel a little bit ignorant. "Maybe I love you too much," she says, but I don't know if she means me. It doesn't matter. "I broke his heart," she admits to me, and I love her for sharing her intimate feelings with someone like me. In the last song, she talks about a lonely period some time ago. "These walls are telling me nothing," she says. But I'm glad she decided to tell me. I hope it means as much to her as it does to me.
