Back from  when I liked her, before she became a movement.

The only thing I like about this song is that it's not Adia.

So happy I do not listen to other radio stations, and have to give a 10 to the slide show for this tune, so makes one very hungry for something sweet.... hahah I do enjoy Sarah's tunes, and have not been spoilt by the overexposure on other radio, so this is pleasing to my ears.

I remember buying this album and listening to it constantly on my CD Walkman.  Those were the days.

True, but unfortunately popularity leads to repetition, and repetition is tiresome...

Heard this WAY too many times on the radio and playing in the coffee shop I worked in.  It's a nice enough song, but a bit tired after all these years.

Hmm...you say that like you have a certain kind of knowledge.  As a decided S.M. fan from the pre - Stumbling Towards Ecstasy days (pre-'95), I must admit that the vision you create has crossed my mind on many occasions.  I go back to that place in my mind from time to time when listening to her music. {#Good-vibes}

Loving the segue from Crowded House's "I Feel Possessed" to this. Both are speaking to me today.

I liked this and "Buidling a Mystery" okay off this album, but overall I though Surfacing was a minor effort compared to Fumbling Toward Ecstasy, which IMO is amazing and deep. Haven't followed her since...
