Grammy Award winner Paula Cole recently released a new album, “Ithaca,” on September 21st. This is her fifth album, and in it, she sings songs inspired by some deeply personal topics: divorce, new love, and being a working mom. “The overall theme of ‘Ithaca’ is making peace with life,” Cole says. “I hope to show people through my music that these lessons in life can truly be a healing process.”
Never having been divorced, not all of the songs really spoke to me. But some of them really struck a chord with me, particularly “Music in Me” and “2 Lifetimes.”
“I thank you God for the music here in me. And I’ll health with understanding. And I’ll deal with patient loving. And I’ll make it cause the music’s here in me.” - part of the lyrics from “Music in Me,” which I really enjoyed because music does that for me, too. “2 Lifetimes” is a beautiful song celebrating the union of two different people.
The CD was easy to listen to, and even the songs I couldn’t relate to, I could appreciate for their emotion and songwriting. If you’re looking for some uplifting songs to help you through a difficult period in your relationship, this CD has some great tunes for that. If you want to celebrate the love you have, this CD works for that too!
