Possibly just a tad overwrought.

Hear! Hear! How about some Joan Jett, Amy Ray, Joan Armatrading, Sweet Honey on the Rock, or are they too "feminist" (read : lesbian) for RP????

So who cares if she's a leetle out of tune? So is Neil Young, and Dylan, most of the time. It's not about that.
This song hits you right in the solar plexus.
Oh man, I miss you WAB......

If your in this mood, then this song is good. But, I think some of her other songs portray her voice better.

I was thinking that this song really didn't sound like her writing so I looked it up. I guess it was done originally by the Ronettes. Written by that spooky white-afro guy in the news.

Interesting pair: Pictures of You and Never Saw The Sunshine... While Pictures may cover reams of teenage angst, Beth Orton's tune certainly flies through the center of middle-aged depression or 'cold angst'. Interesting.
Musically, Ms Orton is most excellent.

Most of this album had a lot of electronica - it was sort of a collaboration between Orton and William Orbit. Orbit was the electronic half of a band in the 80's called "Torchsong" that I kinda liked (got it on vinyl) and he went on a couple years later to do the same sort of thing with Madonna on "Ray Of Light."

So, while I usually don't like electronica all that much, and am sort of immune to Madonna, I guess Orbit is the one thing they all have in common, and of all his stuff I find I like the Madonna album best.

Now, if she could only sing...

Alternately hate her voice and find it interesting....that is annoying in itself, as I crave a solid reality (which doesn't exist, btw).

Sweet little tune....

Another good one from Ms. Orton. Such an arresting, unique voice.

I like Beth. I really do, but this woman could use a singing lesson. She's pretty out of tune most of the time.
