Still More Songs About Feelings

As promised, here’s one last set (maybe?) of Songs About Feelings for your listening pleasure. Don’t sigh at me – just enjoy!  ~  JH

6)  Ivana Raymonda  ~  “Magical Feeling”  (I usually find this lady’s songs to be pleasantly campy yet surprisingly sincere. This one is all that and more, minus the “pleasant” part. She hits a couple of “off” notes that are awful…ly hard to ignore. But the fact that she’s putting herself out there, even if it’s not always her best foot, is still pretty admirable in my book.)
