This song has some nice parts, but overall is kind of bland.

I think Shawn Colvin is a very talented singer but she needs stronger material and/or a producer willing to push her into new territory. She's nailed the Joni Mitchell-lite middle of the road thing. Time to move on or, as Shawn might say, get out of this house.

All the comments are about Shawn. Yes, she's cool.

But the real story here is-listen to the background music. It's the subdudes. Especially that "drumming" that can be none other than Steve Amadee playing the tambourine.

I REALL REALLY miss the subdudes, one of the world's alltime great live bands. I hear they've reformed as The Dudes.

Okay-I just checked their website, and they've reverted to the subdudes name. Can't keep up with these guys...Edited By camarkim at 4:11 pm on 7/18/2003

Except for that cool steel guitar lick, the rest of the song pretty much sucks....

I can vouch for the accuracy of your impression - at least from my perspective. Met her around that time and she was seemed very unhappy. It was a bit surprising given expectations I had - whether fair or not - based on her music. I later learned it was around that time that she was having marriage problems which culminated in divorce. It seems she is doing better these days.

Ditto, I saw Shawn quite a few years ago at a small theatre here. Great show. The opening act was a guy by the name of Vance Gilbert. I enjoyed Vance a lot. Has anyone ever heard of him. Another talented and somewhat unknown, at least in these parts ...

If you get a chance to see her live, do it! I saw Colvin and Emmy Lou Harris at Wolf Trap near D.C. and I thought was Colvin was actually the best part of the show, which says a lot considering E.L.H. was playing hard for two hours. Colvin writes some beautiful lyrics for songs seldom heard.

Not my favorite song by hers, but nonetheless, I like her voice....
