'I see you on the street - you kiss my cheek, my knees go weak
It's clear you've got nothing to lose, while I'm losing sleep'

Oh my, I'm smitten. Again. The first MP3 from the new Laura Cantrell album 'Humming By The Flowered Vine', '14th Street' is now available from Laura's page on the Matador Records site. It's an everyday day tale of unrequited love, by Emily Spray:

'To a lot of New Yorkers, 14th Street is the unofficial divide between uptown and downtown. I personally love 14th street – the Salvation Army, Union Square, the L train running just below. I think this song also perfectly sums up the moment when you see someone you’re obsessed with on the street and decide whether it’s worth it to say hello or stay safely in the background. I’ve known Emily, a Portland, Oregon native, for many years and really appreciate the New York moment she captured in this song.'
