Phoebe Snow: You’re My Girl
October 16, 2008At the height of her career, she took time out to care for her severely-brain damaged child, Valerie, at home. Thirty-one years later, after the death of her daughter, she has an album out, ‘Live’, and is touring once more.
‘You’re My Girl’ is the song she wrote for her mother back in the 80s, and with a few changes, has become a song about Valerie. When you know the context of the song, it is almost unbearable to listen to, but so beautiful.
