![]() Which Side Are You On? (2012) [ larger cover art ] |
I don't want to strive for nothing anymore,
I just want to lie here with you,
Keep the wolves outside the door,
There is nothing in this world you could ever show me that could ever matter more.
Little baby
In the next room dreaming,
Is just icing on the cake,
There is nothing like dancing,
A dance of give and take,
One step forward,
One step sideways,
A helpless feeling,
When the earth shakes.
I will always be your lover,
Even after our atoms are dispersed,
We will be pushing up daisies,
And my crush will just be getting worse,
I will follow you into the next life,
Like a dog chasing after a hearse.
I just don't want to strive for nothing anymore,
I just want to lie here with you,
Keep the wolves outside the door,
There is nothing in this world you could ever show me that could ever matter more

| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: Feb 11, 2013 - 21:54 Ani being not-so-annoying. Decent. Oh wait, Acceptable is before Decent. :p |
| rlr511 (Philadelphia) | Posted: Oct 09, 2012 - 11:21 love me some Ani |
| g-rod (Church of the Acceptance of Mortality) | Posted: Sep 09, 2012 - 08:06 Gee, Ani could have been a big country singer all this time. |

| Zoonhollis | Posted: Aug 12, 2012 - 13:40 I'll just be over here...throwing up |
| lafcadio (Knox-vegas) | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 10:53 Shit's broke, Bill! But I do dig some righteous babe music. |

| Decoy (Milliway's, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe) | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 10:52 came to comment how much this sounded like Ani...surprised to see it IS Ani. Like the mellowing, motherhood has been treating her nicely. |
| ufamsm (Austin, TX, USA) | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 10:52 10:07 - Hearse 10:49 - Hearse Oh well, there are much worse songs to spam us with. Agree with other posters, this was a "Wait, Ani? Is that you? My god you grew up to be a pretty girl after all." |
| leafmold | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 10:51 Wait a minute—this just played two hours ago. |
| jnesser | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 10:50 Weird, this song was just on about an hour ago. |
| ginger (Connecticut) | Posted: Jun 25, 2012 - 09:38 Ditto. I have loved Ani's work for years, yet I didn't even realize this was her until I checked the info on RP to see what I was listening to. Wow...this could really grow on me. docuplate wrote: Wow, different... for Ani DiFranco. Pretty sure I'd never have heard it except for RP. Thanks, Bill |

| docuplate | Posted: Jun 06, 2012 - 16:59 Wow, different... for Ani DiFranco. Pretty sure I'd never have heard it except for RP. Thanks, Bill |
| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: May 24, 2012 - 13:26 Quite like this. Less quirky than some of Ani's stuff - think all artists mature over time |

| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: May 14, 2012 - 17:49 Tolerable. |
| tuttle99 | Posted: May 09, 2012 - 16:14 Always surprised when Bill comes on and says this is Ani DiFranco - haven't been able to take much of her to this point but I Love this new song! |
| guasco | Posted: May 05, 2012 - 22:52 No way. |
| Baby_M (a 100+-year old building in downtown Akron, Ohio) | Posted: May 04, 2012 - 11:27 Take it out of the hearse and bury it. |

| MediaGrrl (Yank in Denmark) | Posted: Mar 07, 2012 - 06:11 this song is surprisingly beautiful. |
| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Feb 04, 2012 - 13:36 Not an Ani fan, but I liked this one! It's like she found each note and stayed there for a bit. |
| tonypf (Honolulu) | Posted: Feb 04, 2012 - 13:31 New Ani is a good thing! |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Jan 30, 2012 - 09:43 This is a first for me. Not just a first comment (edit: drat, beaten to the punch!), but the first Ani DiFranco song that's not an insta-mute for me. There was a newspaper review of a live gig by her in the UK a week back which was very complimentary, and said that she was getting less introspective and more political. It'll be interesting to hear more from this new album. |
| cedd__ | Posted: Jan 30, 2012 - 09:42 It's an okay song, but not one of the best on the new record. |
