I've never noticed how similar her voice is at times to Tori Amos, until this song.

Feeling the same way, I just bumped my rating up. Funny, in parts of this song she reminds me of Joan Baez.

I think I can speak for all the ladies out there that one of the pleasant surprises to lift you out of a funk is for a stranger to tell you you're beautiful...

Thanks RP, needed this song to help me get through a ho-hum Wednesday
