rtrudeau Oct 06, 2009 - 22:36 | I tried to like this. FAIL. |
joanie Sep 05, 2009 - 10:34 | She took the goosebumps out of one of the most powerful spirituals ever written. Big Zero. |
avidfan Sep 05, 2009 - 10:34 | Fantastic...actually a 10. (I'm sure I'm the only one) Best rendition I've heard recently, though, was a guy on Coronado Island (San Diego) playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes out on the rocks overlooking the ocean during sunset. |

IMHO Ani does what Ani does best—imbues a mournful plea with subcutaneous rage, almost as if the prayer might not have been answered, or simply not answered soon enough. Sorta like Job, "So, what is it, Lord? Don't I rate?" Lord, "Sometimes, boy, you just piss me off..." Great description. I am digging this. |
Greendragon00 Sep 05, 2009 - 10:30 | Had to mute this mess. |
lisa999 Jun 02, 2009 - 10:16 | I rarely want to turn the station when I'm listening to RP....this song did it |

As a musician, I would love to be able to play something with this strange timing...That voice a-la my life in the bush of ghosts, and that ringing bell. So otherworldly... This is the best thing I have heard from AD and the most original cover of a really played out song. Refreshing in a couple ways. Timing is not too complicated though, this is in a 4/4 time signature if you listen carefully.. |
stevematic Jun 02, 2009 - 10:11 | this is just awful. |
ThePoose Jun 02, 2009 - 10:10 | It's amazing how she's taken the grace out of this song. |
More_Cowbell Jun 02, 2009 - 10:10 | Great version! 7 |
AvoidingWork Jun 02, 2009 - 10:10 | If she used the words to Gilligan's Island I would like it more. |
Leslie Jun 02, 2009 - 10:09 | I love the different timing. |
