No--for me it's the voice. It just grates on my nerves. I can't help thinking that a few voice lessons might help a great deal and it annoys me that either they haven't or worse, she hasn't bothered to go to a voice teacher.

This would be a much more enjoyable song if I could believe for a minute that Natalie Merchant was a woman who wanted anybody. She just seems so independent.

update: Huh. Seems like I, my own self, posted on this earlier.

This cut is very much Janis Joplin style, and before the JJ fans excoriate me, I have heard JJ alive and in concert twice and her quiet ballads were tear-bringing for their sincerety and warmth.

I've heard NM in concert once (Lilith Fair) and she has that kind of earth mother warmth to her voice.

Anyway, I liked this cut.

Bill's been playing quite a bit of obscure live stuff today. I wish there was more info available on some of these other than a title.
