| Ag3nt0rang3 (Canada) | Posted: May 19, 2010 - 12:10 Her Latin accent is really bad, but I'm digging this anyway. |

| Giselle62 (California's Cental Coast) | Posted: Mar 02, 2010 - 17:10 I like this—-I've been hearing it for a while (had heard of her, also, for a while.) I thought it was the guy from Silversun Pickups whom I'm also really beginning to like. Like that there's a woman with that sound; once I looked up the lyrics—-fantastic! I'll have to check out her other stuff. |
| CPWAlaska | Posted: Mar 02, 2010 - 15:12 This song makes me feel good. I generally like her voice and signing skill, and her song writing, which can be sweet and pop while still having subtlety and depth. Her new album "Hundreds of Lions" has several good songs. Her earlier song, "Better Wife," is beautiful, literary, and cautionary to men. |

| lmic (Harmless Little Bunny) | Posted: Jan 17, 2010 - 16:24 Kind of mannered, but actually really, really nice anyway. I like assonance of the lyrics, especially. 8 |
| rbigelo | Posted: Jan 17, 2010 - 16:23 Very spiritual. One of my favorite tunes of recent. |
| ick (S.E. La Jolla) | Posted: Dec 17, 2009 - 06:29 I like the spiritual theme of the song. |
| Giselle62 (California's Cental Coast) | Posted: Nov 29, 2009 - 19:41 i really like the way she sings—-she stood out from the rest of the set. |

She also has an interesting voice, which has to count for something. You probably think Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen should hire someone as well... There are plenty of rock singers who sing a bit flat. Some more than others. I guess it depends on how much you like that persons voice and the song being sung. I've heard this song several times on RP now and have resisted commenting as I don't like to post anything negative. I do have to say though Ms. McKeown sings very obviously off-key and flat. |
