Released in 1998, Strange Angels is Kristin Hersh’s second solo album. It contains fifteen tracks, with “Gazebo Tree” sitting at number twelve. I have been a fan of Hersh for three or four years now; when she sings, it cuts me to my core. Although she predominately sings about herself (all of her music comes to her as hallucinations, so it’s understandable), there is still this understanding between us that is conveyed in her beautiful but haunting lyrics. “Gazebo Tree” is one of my favorite songs

a song about a man who beats her, to "Strange Fruit," a haunting protest song about lynching in the American South.  Tony Bennett once stated about Holiday, "She didn't sing anything unless she had lived it" (Foley 1).

With great imagery and description she describes the scene of lynching taking place in southern states. Elizabeth Blair, a producer and reporter, describes the intuition of the song by stating “While the lyrics never mention lynching, the metaphor is painfully clear.” From what I also have read in other articles, ‘Strange Fruit’ quickly became famous. It became known as the “original protest

The 1930’s was a decade of extremely hard times, following the stock market crash and an extreme depression. In spite of the tremendous hardships in America during this decade, it also became a time of great music that is still remembered today. Jazz music was highly popular in this time, and Billie Holiday was a famous jazz performer. She stood out from many other musicians because of her intense and passionate performances. Jazz arose from “unacceptable” segments of society, but quickly grew like
