	Jangly guitars, unaffected vocals, and clever lyrics converge in this winsomely effective ballad that clearly comes from the heart. In �Linger,� Jonatha Brooke has penned a simple, yet powerful, pop rocker about the complex emotional landmines one must navigate in breaking off an unhealthy alliance. �I am leaving cuz I love you; I am leaving cuz I don�t/And I am hoping you will follow, and I�m praying that you won�t�let me go,� she offers in a voice laced with equal parts folk and rock. Not content to rattle off the type of tired clich�s in which her pop music counterparts revel, the thoughtful Brooke is a skilled poet who avoids the �one in a million,� �lost in your eyes,� and �baby, baby, baby� tripe that pollutes the Top 40 today. �You saw me through the keyhole of a door that I kept locked/But I�d decorate the threshold just in case you knocked� is just one intriguing metaphor that will �linger� in your mind long after the music has stopped.
