<br>May 30 2025<br>The prompt is Prove</p><p>Tara MacLean, “Evidence” from Silence, 1996</p><p>I was having trouble coming up with something that appealed to me with the literal word “prove” so I ended up going with a vehicle for proving something, evidence.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/TaraMacLean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TaraMacLean</span></a> sits on my shelf alongside Caroline Lavelle and (early) Sarah McLachlan: women with vaguely Celtic vocal styles whom I could see draped in crystals and gauze, wind chimes hanging above their doors, and a collection of ethnic percussion instruments waiting within.</p><p>I’d like this track a lot more if they’d backed off just a bit on the pop production values, particularly in the choruses, and I can hear a gorgeously stark rendition in my head with just Tara’s voice, acoustic guitar, and one or two people using some of those ethnic percussion instruments lying around (I tried but couldn’t find a performance like this), but it’s still a lovely, moody song.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4iSkyEhuss#ddg-play" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=C4iSkyEhus</span><span class="invisible">s#ddg-play</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/90sMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>90sMusic</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LilithFair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LilithFair</span></a></p>
