Pamela

Pamela walked away from singing at the top and came back at fifty, with a voice that had been somewhere in the meantime. Her songs live in ordinary rooms: a kitchen at midnight, a car still running in the driveway, a phone still holding a number nobody will answer. She sings about the marriage one person held together, the night a caregiver finally takes back for herself, the mother you only understand once you reach the age she was. Nothing is rushed and nothing is decorated. She lets the feeling take the time it needs.
