Not sure why...but I find this very annoying...in a 'Walking on Sunshine' kind of way.

The tractor on the cover looks much like an early Allis-Chalmers.  We had a couple AC's when my family still had their farm, the oldest was purchased used in the 50's I think and was at least 20 years old then.  The steel wheels were swapped out for rubber back when that was a new development, and an electric start added a few years later. 

I remember one winter when I was little, that it was so cold that nothing started.  The power was out for miles in each direction and there was no sign that the weather was going to break.  At the time, we had a wood burning furnace as the sole source of heat, but when the power went out, the blowers for it went out too.  We had a fireplace that would warm us up a little, but the whole family still had to camp out in the living room as it was well below freezing anywhere else in the house.  

None of the cars would so much as crank, and the only thing with an engine that my dad could get running was the old AC.  He pulled out the old crank, stuck it in the starter motor, and it fired up like it was a summer day.  I was always impressed by that, as I'm pretty sure that the tractor being able to power the generator via the power takeoff was about the only thing that kept the whole adventure from becoming a complete disaster.

Ok, redneck moment over.

erm....no.
The sense of urgency you hear here is more...erm....uh....romantic?

Freefall off the mountain freefall into space
The world spins by as I fly off into another state
Why - do we crash into the blue?
Why - does a high never last into the blue?
All you have to blame it on is gravity
In you, in me, in me 

sort of sums it up for me :)

Feels thrown together, like a dish made of leftovers from old meals. And then I doesn't end. Perhaps the cook was unable to be objective about their own food.

Gravity it the attraction between two bodies. If you need a further explanation, you're too young to be listening to RP.

Funny, that's one of the things that endears this tune to me.
I find it a pleasant "quirk".

This is one of the funniest comments I've read here in weeks...  Thanks, Ears_of_Stone! {#Roflol} I really like this song the more I hear it, but now I'm going to have the image of her, on her knees, praying to her burning sitar a la Jimi....

{#Meditate}

Freefall off the mountain freefall into space
The world spins by as I fly off into another state
Why - do we crash into the blue?
Why - does a high never last into the blue?
All you have to blame it on is gravity
In you, in me, in me

I dreamed I was a satellite
Doing circles 'round the earth
I woke to find myself entwined in a blanket of dirt
Why - do we crash into the blue?
Why - does a high never last into the blue?
All you have to blame it on is gravity in you,
I have a lot of gravity in me
All you have to blame it on is gravity in you,
I have a lot of gravity in me

Mayday I'm comin down
Mayday I'm gonna crash
I wake in bed in a cold sweat
And think of all these prayers I should have asked
Why - do we crash into the blue?
Why - does a high never last into the blue?

All you have to blame it on is gravity
In you, I have a lot of gravity in me
All you have to blame it on is gravity
In you, I have a lot of gravity in me
Why?
Why?

It's not even dissonance, really. There are no major or minor seconds or such like. I think what the original poster was affected by is the whiny or tinny tone of the sitars. Personally, I am diggin' it totally.

John Inmon on sitar. Album was produced by Lloyd Maines who plays steel pedal and acoustic as well. Natalie (Dixie Chicks) is his daughter.

Terri is a warm and personable performer who appreciates her audiences as much as they appreciate her..

No, it appears that the wires got crossed somewhere, and a bunch of irrelevant YLT comments got dumped into this Terri Hendrix - Gravity thread.
