well, fresh from her wiki let me answer that for you. She took like 20 years off and had an ep in 04'. I like "Everything Must Change" too, kind of Melissa Manchesteresque hamming over proto-Anita Baker arrangements, oddly involving. She's got some elegance to her.

Good god, gershy's link of "Can't Find My Way Home"...yikes. Is she in her own private Stairway to Heaven there or what? Bloody brilliant.

Ah! I just realized the opening riff for that reminds me of "Naked Eye" by The Who!!! Must rip it to iPod forthwith!

This song is better than all your grandmother's 78 records. Nominate this one for "best song ever".

No, I'm serious. I want 3000 page essays on why that song isn't the best thing that ever happened to your life. Dave Segal, don't let me down. Haha.

I don't know if I could have fulfilled Bimble's request for a 3000 pg. essay on the subject matter but damn this really is one of my favorite songs of all time. <3

:-( Abbott.

the French horn is nice on this song, too...it's just Jesus Christ Superstar is one of my fave albums & I hate her character & songs in it SO MUCH (this will probably make you sad too)

but this has been a beneficial thread insofar as it reminded me to listen to the JCSS OST

fuck "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and its cloying ersatz longing
― cosmic abbigong (Abbott), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 19:04 (fourteen years ago) link
I forgot she had a bit in "What's the Buzz," my self-protection mechanisms must have erased this bummer memory
― cosmic abbigong (Abbott), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 19:05 (fourteen years ago) link
French horn is nice on this song, too..
classic brothers gibb touch.
