Song of the Day # 1,399 Jen Cloher


Courtney Barnett's long-term partner Jen Cloher, released an eponymous album earlier this year. This, its opening song tells Cloher's story of the last couple of years, left at home base while Barnett tours the world and finds increasing acclaim and fame. 'Oh god I forgot myself. Oh god I forgot my health..' It's a great song, insecure and vulnerable, slightly darker in tone than Barnett's generally are but informed by the same creative, freewheeling narrative gifts and instincts. The whole record is well worth a listen.
