You don’t have to love, like, or even know about Anne Lister or Gentleman Jack to allow the hauntingly beautiful lyrics and music touch your heart. It’s been a long time (think early Joni Mitchell) since a song and songwriter made me feel the way this song does. “But you came so close”—these 5 words break my heart. (And the fact that the artist lives close to my all-time favorite city of Buffalo doesn’t hurt!)
