Amazing. I'm having the same experience. I didn't think much of the song until i started reading the lyrics (everyone should download and try out "Minilyrcs" if they use winamp. It works with RP and pulls up the songs lyrics as the song changes).

anyway, i like the song A LOT for the lyrics

This is awfully dull, though. I can hear that the song is heartfelt and it's telling an important story, but it's the end of the week, I'm on a sleep deficit, and I can feel a state of narcoleptic stupor coming on... {#Sleep}

Ah, seems like we haven't heard a lot of Dar lately on RP, it's good to hear that voice again.

Less David Byrne, more Dar?

man I'm choking here on the smothering introspection. Navel gazing and poetry make a disgusting combination that is all too often too tempting for "artists" to avoid.

Lovely. This song is the step from winter to early spring... it has that quiet feel of the first green.

Anyway, I must agree with the influence of "The Christians and the Pagans" - that song so totally won me over to Dar Williams that I will forever love her, no matter what she does in the future.

If you like this, I'd also recommend Cry, Cry, Cry (the name of the group and album). It's a collaboration between Dar, Richard Shindell and Lucy Kaplansky.

Honesty Room is incredible too. She wandered a bit with End of Summer (3rd?) and I lost track of her for a good while. This song's nice enough, but pales in comparison to the first couple albums (IMHO).

I agree. This is a disconnect in both the singing and playing. The intended feelings in this song fall short for me.

honestly, it is hard to find the words to describe the feelings that this song is capable of bringing up in me. hopefully the "10" says something.

Like that last comment says, "The Christians and the Pagans" did it for me. I love her voice...and what a song the aforementioned is. Also catch her singing "Shades of Grey", another personal favorite.

For those who aren't sure about Dar Williams, check out her "Mortal City" album -- especially the tracks "The Christians and The Pagans" and "The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis of a Co-Ed". It's hard to not like someone who can write and sing these. This (her second) album has many great songs.

So much like Sandy Denny from Fairport Convention.
Listen to 'Crazy Man Michael'. Even better, how about RP playing it.

Anyone else think this sounds like a Janis Ian song. I would have thought that's who this was if Bill hadn't said something.

Hmm, I just can't make myself like her. I find her voice weak and forced, her melodies bland, and her songs *way* longer than they have a right to be. Looks like I'm perhaps in the minority... c'est la vie.

The more people who hear Dar's music, the better the world will be. She is a gem.

This is such a fantastic song. Working through the depths of depression, finishing with realization and hope. Such a great songwriter.

I agree that "What do you hear in these sounds" is a great upbeat version with a similar theme. And I love dancing naked in my living room.

Can't wait for the new album next month....Edited By mytongue at 3:54 pm on 1/30/2003

I saw her live here in State College PA. Very nice show - a lovely songwriter. And I really like the fact that, in person, she a complete dork. Makes me warm and fuzzy.
