  "textContent": "On CMAT's big, soulful number \"When A Good Man Cries,\" there's a part where the Irish quasi-country singer howls, \"I hope that I pass and I get reborn.\" On Thursday night, CMAT appeared on Stephen Colbert's _Late Show_ to sing that song. While delivering the word \"reborn,\" she mimed out giving birth to a baby and then casually tossing the baby over her shoulder like it was garbage. This was a quick, offhand bit of stagecraft, a literal throwaway gesture, but it should tell you just about everything about CMAT that you might need to know.\n\nThe post CMAT Gives A Charming, Theatrical <em>Colbert</em> Performance appeared first on Stereogum.",
