Good point, but I've heard Eliza so much it's easy for me to tell the difference. Love Antje's voice. And Eliza's too, although her songwriting is really the draw.
 
I made this comment elsewhere, but in performance Antje's voice does not have the range and power heard in her in recordings. Maybe her voice was worn out from touring, but when I saw her in 2010, she was not hitting the higher notes that exist in the recorded work. Eliza G has much more command over her singing, with much more practice I suppose. And as a songwriter, Eliza G is, in my opinion, one of the better ones today.

I just love this song. It's sweet and the lyrics are fresh and evocative.

She doesn't hold a snuffed candle to Margo Timmins (of Cowboy Junkies), who is the Queen of Narcolepsy.

Agreed:

'Cause I lied about the vertigo
And I have never been up this high
There'll be no safety net
When I fall right out of the sky
There will be no ambulance waiting
And I have no wings to fly

Btw, Antje is currently touring with Shindell.  Should be a great show!

 
Hoping to catch them later this month in NJ.

Agree, it started with a vocal angst that had me reaching for a sub-5 rating, but then it moved towards heart and warmth and all things good in life.

No accounting for taste. Personally I think this is a beautiful heart felt song.
First time I have heard it and I had to check who's playing so I can find more from her. {#Clap}

Every song I hear from here brings the smell of a high school gymnasium to my nose, and I'm sitting there waiting for the song to be over and I can politely applaud and wait for the next talent show contestant to take the stage.  The upper and lower ends of her register are just weak and her music is just so bland, IMHO.

I liked the last song I heard from this album, and I like this song. Is the whole album similar? Not like all the songs are the same, just is this one way slower or faster or countryer (I know thats not a word) that the other songs on the album?

He was on every tv network for the entire time he was  up there. Of course, that was just three networks.
