This is all about my ex & I...  Every few months, I like to hear it and really crank it... 

But then again, I just worked 10 nights in a row and didn't have the time for any Xmas nor New Year's.  It's just nice to be sitting at home, in my PJ's, having a cocktail, glad I don't have to go out in the Very COLD weather!

Call me crazy...   I don't care.  But this song is all about my ex & I.  Sometimes, I miss him...

I followed LongGoneDaddy's link and got the 50 Foot Wave version. Thanks.

I like Michael Stipe, though you don't have to. However, in the choruses that he sings with Kristin in her solo version, she raises her voice and screams them in the 50 Ft Wave one. Or call it a hoarse gargle. I'm just saying, she seems to have wanted that sound.

I think the Stipe version was before 50 Ft Wave; I dunno, why is Emmylou Harris on the background of every other song that Stipe isn't?  Methinks it's a genre thing, plus some people would buy it just because they see Stipe's name.  Not to dis Stipe, but he is immediately recognizable and therefore marketable.  Although, what the hell do I know?  Maybe he was stuck in Boston and Kristin was nice enough to let him hang out...

I thought he pretty much stuck with REM but Radio Paradise has shown me that he is quite a musical collaborator.

Makes me wonder why they thought sticking him in there would be a good idea...

yup, agreed!  The 50 Ft Wave version (Kristin's band) is even better...check it out: http://50footwave.cashmusic.org/

Same here.

I really like this song except for the parts with Micheal Stipe squealing..

They just used this song on Dollhouse, season 2, episode 8.
Very affecting.

very funny  thanx

Nice, in a creepy sorta way. 

I think a different version (a cover, perhaps?) of this song was used in "Grey's Anatomy" last night...

Nice!

This works well for me..

Michael Stipe is the Michael McDonald of the late 90s. You can find him everywhere.

One of my favorite albums. Delighted to hear it here!

Haunting and enigmatic... Kristin continues to amaze and enchant

Very nice. Is that Michael Stipe on backing vocals ?

This has been one of my favorite CDs since it came out.  I saw her play at The Crocodile Lounge in Seattle, 1996, all big and pregnant and gorgeous and rockin.  Throwing Muses have been a fav for ages, but Kristin's solo stuff was even more awesome and haunting...

Thank you RP for introducing me to another great song that I otherwise would never hear unless on maybe KCRW in Los Angeles - thank god for you guys - keep donating to this station!

It wasn't her ghost, it was really her? 
The song indicates she has some experience with those who aren't there.

This is great to hear....it's been a while.  I love this station.

9>10. Awesome.

Guitar's like G. Santaolalla at times....
Like it 

Had the opportunity to meet Kristin a few weeks ago. Sat around her kitchen table and talked about life with her. What a great lady. What a great artist.

perfect segue between Passage and Your Ghost.

Good job Bill

The cello lifts this out of the "moody acoustic whingeing" swamp (where a lot of KH's solo stuff lives IMHO) into the land of "introspective tortured artiste" that she lived in during the halcyon Throwing Muses days.
