A T.V. reporter asks why Carpenter agreed to play the benefit. I grew up in a household where there was music everywhere, and I was fortunate enough to have parents who could give whatever lessons I wished to have. This past year has been an extraordinary year for me. Straightforward, goodwill stuff. Nevertheless, the Nagging Question is looming.
Carpenter says a bit teasingly.
I think it's kink of self-explanatory. It's a very anthemic tune, and not only am I a huge fan of Lucinda Williams, but I felt, when I first heard that song that it just kind of, UNHH, got me right here. I don't know how you say 'UNHH' in print. I think men and women relate to it in a strong way. Someone says that in the song's black and white video, in which Carpenter wears a black turtleneck and sits in a sunny coffeehouse, the singer looks likes she's having a good time.
