Heartwarming / Amanda Palmer

• Her TED Talk, The Art of Asking, where she talks about her experiences as an artist, and how much love she has received over the years.
  • And then she sings Radiohead's Creep, on a ukulele, without a mic, at the after party.
• While the whole song of "A Mother's Confession" is an exercise in reaching for Kleenex, it ends on a triumphant note with everything potentially falling in around her shoulders, but her priority is her son's safety. Complete with a little gurgle from him at the end.
  "I may not make it to the passport place on time
  "And they might suspend my license for a while
  "And I might get caught for retroactive theft
  "And I might get turned into the DSS
  "But at least the baby didn't die!"
  • The response to the song had been heartwarming on YouTube. Many mothers and children have written about how the song reflects their own ideas and hopes.
