I remember you Shawn playing music up there on the mini stage at Merlins Bar down at SIU. Was it back in 1974 - 75 around then? Those were the days huh?
Oh, I love her. Yea, she does crazy things on stage--always does something suprising. She actually played a song she was writing but hadn't quite finished that turned out to be "New Thing Now" from A Few Small Repairs. She isn't boring, that's for sure.
Great song-great job. She looks like that lady from Strangers With Candy...that's who I thought of when I was watching this. "Don't worry, the works fell out years ago".
GOD I love her!

Great song writer but also has an uncanny feel for odd covers. She's even done an amazing cover of Elvis' Viva Las Vegas.

Xorion... Songs are songs. This proves that a great song transcends genre. Just like Obadiah Parker's cover of "Hey Ya!"It's amazing.

Because it's a perfect pop song.

Yea, but . . . it's just not her. It's not a folk song.

Yo xorion, dig a little deeper. matt... had it right. If you ever have seen her perform , you'd get this.

I hated the Gnarls Barkley version of this tune. Shawn's got such a sweet voice, I can stomach this song now.
