Somebody's Miracle, 2005
Written by Liz Phair
At one point, I thought Liz Phair was one of the greatest and most impressive, arresting, and original talents going. Then she released her eponymous album, and it smacked of derivative teen pop, an attempt to grab onto some of that Avril Lavigne popularity. Not my thing. But this follow-up has the wry, brash, open lyricism of Exile in Guyville, but with a sturdier, more commanding vocal. This song opens Phair's head and examines why she self-sabotages romantic relationships. "I can't help myself / It's a special combination / Of predatory instinct and simple ill will."
