Sometimes, it's possible to respect a song, even when you don't completely warm up to its vocals. I've only ever heard Leah Andreone's "It's Alright, It's OK" on former St. Louis station WVRV. Inexplicably, after not thinking of it for many years, it hasn't left my mind for three days.
Commendably, its lyrics acknowledge how precarious life is for people in dysfunctional families. I'm not familiar with that situation, but it's good to know that such a song might give those in such difficult situations strength to endure the hard hands they've been dealt or the resolve to seek help. Although I haven't sought out "It's Alright, It's OK" since hearing it way back when, it reminds me that not every song exists to make listeners comfortable.
