Jonatha at Shorecrest Performing Arts Center

The venue was an auditorium in Shoreline WA and was a very warm and intimate gathering. Jonatha's smart comments, funny antics, and acoustic perforance was the perfect mix and I had a great seat on the fourth row! :)

One song I didn't expect to hear was one that I hadn't heard in a long time and it was The Choice from her Ten Cent Wings album. It's great songwriting. A song of regret and being in that middle ground between looking back and turning away.


The Choice

i don't know what you expected
i don't know what else you've heard
but i guess you think you got what's coming to you
and i got what i deserve

i won't tell you a thing, you won't see me cry
i'll know what to do, i will not lie
i'll take the chance, i may be fine
but i may never be the same

i didn't ask for your precious pity
i didn't ask for your pain
and i didn't ask for your opinion
in the name, of your saints

i won't tell you a thing, you won't see me cry
i'll know what to do, i will not lie
either way i lose, either way we die

either way i'm alone when its time to decide

i don't know what you expected
i don't know what else you've heard
maybe i'll take what's coming to me
cuz it might be what i deserve

i won't tell you a thing, you won't see me cry
i'll know what to do, i will not lie
i maybe crazy, i may be blind
but i might love you more than my life

my choice, my chance, roulette, romance
i couldn't say no, now i still can't
god curse this moment god bless this chance
i will never be the same
