The Best Songs of 2014 number 69 Sharon Van Etten“Every time the Sun Comes Up” After an album as searing as Sharon Van Etten’s Are We There, a closer like “Every Time The Sun Comes Up” risks feeling like an after-thought. The song sets off at an easy enough pace, but its reveal of Van Etten’s wry humor edges her ever closer to her song-writing inspirations, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave among them. Few songwriters today could treat lines like “People say I’m a one-hit wonder / but what happens when I have two?” in a way that seems at once utterly simple and highly profound, let alone follow it with something as bold as Van Etten does here. Others may highlight Are We There’s “Your Love Is Killing Me” for its extreme confessionalism, but “Every Time The Sun Comes Up” has just as much boldness and bite, and in more unexpected ways.
