In 1995, Sophie B. Hawkins sang a wistful ballad in memory of her father. “As I Lay Me Down” went on to top the Adult Contemporary charts for six weeks. Hawkins was subsequently honored by GLAAD in 2000.
In a shameless attempt to fill space on a holiday weekend :-) we are posting this music video in memory of loved ones.

Thanks to Shazam for helping me recognize and identify the song.
Is Sophie B. gay?
If she is, I was not aware of that!
Wikipedia says that Sophie B. says she is bisexual.
I just scanned this CD from my collection onto the computer this past week, will have to listen to it again. Honestly I remember “As I Lay Me Down” as her only hit – if there were any more, I don’t recall them.
Oh man, Shazam is full of awesome. If only it worked on Linux.
sophie b hawkins biggest hit was ‘DAMN, WISH I WAS YOUR LOVER”.

Sophie B. wrote “Damn I wish i was your lover” to a woman. Yes, she is bi. And DIWIWYL mentions the gender of the love interest – female.
