Lori McKenna's song "That's How You Know"


Lori McKenna is a singer-songwriter unfamiliar to me but she has a stop-everything-and-listen song in "That's How You Know." It's on her "Lorraine" release.

Here's how it opens:

"When you take the train to midtown to have coffee by yourself
Pull the pictures from the drawer and put them back up on the shelf

When you hear the sound of church bells
And they don’t make you wanna cry
And you’re not getting drunk just so you can hide..."


And closes:

"...When you’re thankful that you ever knew a love this strong
When you finally find the courage to write this song

That’s how you know
That’s how you know
That’s how you know
You’re moving on"


It's an emotional powerhouse.

You can listen to it here.
