@schildno5 cause we all HAD this moment, running from home to be welcomed in this "perfect" world, and everybody who's young WILL HAVE that moment too. But it's just a period. It passes sooner and later, and what don't kill you makes you stronger, that's what the song is about. :D
It's kind of a depressing song, really. I see it as she was thinking, when she was little or a young adult, that she was special. She was thinking that she could go to great distances. But then, she went into the real world and discovered that she wasn't all that great. Now, she is only what she thought she could be when she is alone and can only compare herself to...herself. Makes one feel somewhat insecure hahaha.

I remember the first time I heard this song when the CD came out. It gave me the chills because this is the story of my life. I can't go a day without hearing these words. Thank God for Annie Lennox!
There is nothing wrong about believing in something higher in order to find justification in life and on the flip side,religion Still wouldnt be the last resort of life refelction if there was no musci, b/c there would still be alot of ppl that wouldnt be religious.
@safiamir Well, they do imitate life when it's a not "I luv U, U luv Mi, cam on lite my fire, lite my fire my deesire" song, like 98 percent of songs are based of this kind of cliche. :D :D :D :P
Her music is so moving! Her songs and theatrics can actually bring me out of any state of mind! What a gift! Plus I love that wild ass look she gets in her eyes like she's crazy!
No she is not a lesbian. She has been married either 2 or 3 times to men. She has 2 daughters. I really don't see what it matters anyway. She is a beautiful and amazing person regardless of her personal life.
Wonderful! She sings just about what I'm feeling now. And she knows what she sings about - the lyrics are nut just true, but they just hit the bulls' eye in their meaning. ;)
Annie Lennox is the epitome of class, self respect, and ambition. That woman worked tooth and nail to get where she's at today. I would consider her as a prime role model for young women.
This is based on a true story. Annie really did leave home as a teenager to pursue her fame ambitions. Her and her father never saw eye to eye on her pursuing music, she beleived she was gonna make it, he didn't think so. She was actually correct in this case!
i really love her voice and her writing style. not enough pop songwriters around like her. it's amazing how she synthesizes American R&B into almost all of her work... she coulda been a songwriter back at Stax or Motown back in the day if she'd been born in a diff. time and place.
@pseudonym1964 yes she is a lover of motown and though their not exactly motown she has worked with soul greats Aretha Franklin(Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves) and Al Green(Put A Little Love In Your Heart)
only Annie Lennox could add enough character, theatrics, and flair to a setting of a chair in a black and white setting and make it AMAZING, she is a true legend, i wish i saw her waaayyyy more these days!!!
Fanstastic Annie: I'm looking forward to hearing her brand new album: Songs of Mass Destruction
That's a moment that makes me really happy: hearing her great voice and dreaming of a better world because she has that vision of the world ! She is very envolved in that direction
does anyone knows the name of the woman that was always on suites, like the video concept? i remember the pics on balck an whit but i do not remember the name!
Annie was so misunderstood in the 80's and 90's. I think her androgony was a little risque for the time period. Who knew it was art imitating life????? She is such a canvas and has expressed herself in many different genres over the past 20 something years. She is a very gifted musician from writing to performing.........Sometimes I feel like she is underappreciated and sort of forgotten.
Apart from the talent...that FACE! Sooo dramatic and expressive.....I place her vids as performance art actually....and she doesn't take herself too seriously which I love....in a docu when she's describing her "No more I love you's" video influences she ends it with "but then again, it's also just a pop video" and smiles....
There exists a SNL episode with an incredible performance by her of this, same outfit, same makeup, in front of Paul Schaffer's band. If someone can upload it, Ill knit them a unisex pue wool scarf! This includes you, Annie!
