Mary Ellen Davis – “I Know What It’s Like”

Mary Ellen Davis has been a friend forever and one of the first people I knew who was so much better than any mainstream music. I love fighting against the establishment and this song is worth fighting for. Understated beautiful vocal, a railroad beat, chimes and echoing guitar – and then Mary Ellen kills me every time when her voice soars through the song. Her voice has truth and heartbreak and life to it. This is an amazing song and she is an amazing songwriter and singer.
