Please include the song"Goodbye" (from this album) on Youtube. Siberry fans in our town are remissed you have yet to upload it and we would like to have friends outside the area listen to this very quintessential Siberry song.
islavista1000, i have to agree - especially with your last sentence. perhaps that's why i believe "the walking" was her zenith and things have went south since then. when i remember attending concerts from from the 80's and early 90's... spellbound, tears, passion... now... well, i guess i just don't "get" it. i try to understand the transformation but just can't. a lot of what i miss about siberry are the musicians and band members that i feel "got it" and helped to make her vision complete.
I was lucky enough to see Jane Siberry in concert about a million years ago. Not only is she a genius, she can sure belt out a song! What a beautiful and powerful voice. Plus, I think she's hands-down one of the best composers ever.
Unfortunately, she is the Canadian Oprah, and her music has been increasingly marred by ideological excrescence for almost two decades.
I still love her, but she's WAY over the top and she has encouraged a generation of shallow and intolerant disciples.
O.K. This is the most interesting reply to anything Siberry related I've seen in awhile. Please elaborate on your second and third paragraph... I get the first one and totally agree. I think she's gone off the deep end as "Issa" and quite frankly the last three
CD's as the artist formally known as "jane"... I met her a couple of times and had a one on one with her right after the Bound By The Beauty came out. She is no doubt anything if not eccentric, but what's going on now? Please elaborate!
Issa is the less subtle version of Jane Siberry in terms of ideology and posture.
Jane has evolved from a fey poet to an adept and, finally, to a prophet. Her doctrine -- which is not unique to her -- focuses on spirituality, injustice, and rescue, usually in the context of failed or inadequate intimate relationships.
The problem is that ideology is a substitute for truth, reason, and unprejudiced analysis. When a true believer is intellectually a teenager, a lost and strident human results.
So now YOU have found ISSA as well. How can such an amazingly talented and wonderful woman not be known by more. We seem to be members of an exclusive club. Do your friends ever say "Jane who ? ". Do what I do n giv them her music. I feel great when they come back truly converted. This is how wonderful she is. I sent an e-mail to the log cabin (her e-store) & Issa replied personally. I was so moved by her personal words. I now have every album, several signed & EVERY video. Whats your story ?
Jane is a rare gem. I've seen her live three or four times, and each show was very different and wonderful in different ways. She always surprises...I remember hearing about "Maria" and thinking "that's too bad...I don't want to hear her play jazz," and then I heard it and was completely blown away. Thanks Jane!
This woman is so amazing. This song really gets to me. She is a very very special talent. Heard lots of her music now and there is something very special about her, Love what she does,
I saw her live at Massey Hall with band, backup singers Rebecca Campbell and Rebbeca Jenkins and she shared the stage so easily, but each musical phrase was beautifully arranged.
There is a VHS tape of Jane Siberry videos of the 1980s. This one for "The Walking" and the one for "You Don't Need" are in my opinion the most successful and memorable pairings to the song's content. I was glad to see this on YouTube because Jane always designs from multiple media and fits multiple media well.
I am very happy to see this here. Yes, thank you to the person who posted it! There's been a surprising lack of Jane's material on Youtube, and I hope that's changing! Anybody got "Map of the World, Part II"?!
Thank you, thank you, thank you - I had never seen this but have loved Jane's music for so long. I have imagined how I would have done a video for this, not having known there even was one - and its close - the angst and the edge of madness complement the song wondefully. So gald to have got the chance to see this.
Art.

I wouldn't describe this as a video but more as a series of still photos blended one into the next. Adds to the beauty of a haunting
and deeply touching work.
