So, this song...

In class, Ms. Andrews introduced us to a song called "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday. I have to admit, it kind of scared me. The way she was describing the "strange fruit" made it sound creepy, and I'm sure this was one of her reasons for this song; to open people's eyes to the horror of lynching. I sure felt that way. Don't get me wrong, though; I like it. She used a good metaphor. And her voice is beautiful.
