She occassionally hits the high notes, but generally carries the low half of the song. You rarely hear that in duets. I recall many years ago reading that Reba McIntyre turned down an offer to sing a duet with Vince Gill because "I can't sing with a man whose voice is higher than mine." In this current example, I wish they'd both declined. Ho hum at best for this tripe. [ Reply ]

turnergirl1of2 Mar 23, 2006 - 08:31	Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. This song sucks. I honestly can't say I miss 10,000 Maniacs. Or Natalie Merchant's solo career. [ Reply ]

What happens to your essence, soul, spirit, consciousness, whatever you want to call it, is unproveable. A mystery. Or, at least it's been debated by people ever since there have been people. Oh, but wait. You've got it all figured out. Nevermind. [ Reply ]

I didn't hear propaganda at all. The lyrics simply state that she (Iris) does not buy into religion - "But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me" Then she goes on to address the manner in which she lives her life and why...it has zero to do with religious conviction - "Well, I believe in love and I live my life accordingly" I take that to mean she does the right thing in life not b/c of fear of consequence but b/c she has love in her heart and wants to do good. So, the crowd reacted. What does that have to do with the song? [ Reply ]
