Reminds me so much of me .. I was going to marry a guy, even if always knew I am a lesbian .. in the end I left him before our wedding .. I just couldn't take it anymore.
I love Melissa Etheridge, she is my favorite artist, EVER ! Oh, and I love that jumping girl at 3:48 ! Haha, I would sooo be like that too if I was there !!
@blurose7 I identified with song the first time I heard it and yes it is a very painful and lonely place to be. I hope you find the peace I have yet to.
And what's wrong with The Wanting Of You? Why can't the wanter have it all? "She" should ask "Him" to allowher the freedom to explore and express. If you don't ask, you don't get in this world. You never know the surprising reply from "Him" (after he picks himself up off the floor). They are definitely going to want to get a babysitter for Saturday nights out, though.
Now here's a controversial lyrical arrangement. Imagine that: us as human beings and "The Wanting" even though we seem to have all that we need. Melissa has always been edgy and true. She and her band rock this song near the end.
Oh my God! I am sitting in a Krystal's in Birmingham, Alabama and this song just started playing on the restaurant overhead! This is an absolutely amazing song and I love it's message. I had a girlfriend who lived this song and the oppression, internal and external, nearly destroyed her. I hope folks sitting in hamburger joints around the world hear this and stop denying their dreams and their love because they think they are supposed to. Be true to yourselves, sisters and brothers!
This is my favorite song on this album. The first time I heard it, I was like "OMG!! this song is so me!" Once you dip your "toes into the water" no matter how long you are married the wanting of a woman never goes away. Thank you Melissa for this song.
Ahhh, the dilemma of a married woman, who has feelings for women, "She loves him, won't hurt him, can't stop the wanting of you". "Tank top, smooth skin, soft lips, tannnnnn thighs". Melissa's music is real and raw! Fearless Love music is her best! Check out these songs Indiana, Company, Gently We Row...
@SwtPoison7 Amen sister.... That's what I said when I watched this video. I heard it first while I was put on hold on the phone and I was like "That's sounds like Melissa! Does she have a new song?" So I googled it and sure enough there she is. She is the bestest :)
I miss Melissa's short hair... she just looks so frumpy with the longer hair. :(

@bjbcoach I thought I was the only one who hears her songs as RAW.... I am glad that you hear them the same way I do or better "like the way I do" ;)
