#365songs (43 / 365)
I think maybe in high school I mistook being a dude who liked Loreena McKennitt for having a personality, a little bit — encouraged somewhat by one or two of my best friends — but as I listen to "Marrakesh Night Market," one of the songs I remember sticking with me a little longer than the rest of her catalog, I have to say it does still kind of slap.
I have not listened to Loreena McKennitt in quite a long time. I think sometime in college or later I got kind of into her second album, Parallel Dreams, which has that "transitional album" quality that I often find really interesting, before she made it big (???) (?????) with her major label debut The Visit. But "Marrakesh Night Market" I do remember finding compelling even after some of her other music started to feel a little too sleepy for me.
