Kele Goodwin (with Laura Gibson and Douglas Jenkins), “A Kiss For Your Eyes,” from The Spider (self-released)

kelegoodwinGood god, this song is beautiful.

The ever-humble and shy-in-a-good-way Kele Goodwin offers up wise, softly sung words: “We love and we lie/ But you were right/ We will survive.” Everyone’s favorite local folkstress, Laura Gibson, adds aching, haunting backup vocals. And Bright Red Paper/Portland Cello Project’s Douglas Jenkins bows and bends his particular brand of sonic sorrow (uh, cello) all throughout.

It’s just lovely, I tell ya. So lovely I’m gonna shut the hell up and let you listen to it, plain and simple.
