That woman gives me goosebumps over and over again, Melissa is one true rock singer with a voice to die for. Fantastic version, Keisha's is a little too fast and more for the R'n'B fans.
I have to weigh in on this one. It really is a great song. Like many others I came to this having heard it on 'The L Word' but why do we have to put up with Melissa butchering it? She's done some great stuff as an artist but really, this is like a poor high school glee club concert. Long pauses and tortured head shakes do not add pathos, just melodrama. Leave it to the original Joan Armatrading version
So this is a cover? I am not familiar with its original version. (and I've been around the block, 3 times maybe 4) Who performed it? Who wrote it? Heck, I just wanted to say thank you to Melissa for composing the poignant words that I've not been able to find. So who did write this song? Is it new or old? ~E
This song makes my heart cry rivers. Melissa has soutch a fealing in her voice... I don't know if it's just good acting or if she aktully fell like this, but my oh my... it still makes my heart cry.
She lookes so good behinde that piano, she should play more piano!
Rare to hear her sing someone elses tune. But, it is Joan Armatrading and she does have some great stuff. I give it a A+ for shit happens and you need to trust your Boo, but don't have to trust the others out there!
No, this is not a cuddling song. This is a real heartbreaker. I have a lover that loves me and needs me, but I have this ex that keeps calling and coming around. She does not love or need me. For some reason I think I need her. Maybe one day I will not.
Let them go. They just come around to mess up what you have. It's the ol' I don't want you and I don't want anyone else to either. Don't mess up your good thing, if it is what you want. My Wife almost blew it for a flake that wasn't out for nothing but wrecking our realationship.
Granted, I have not (yet) listened to Keisha White's version, but there is a studio version of this song by Ms. Etheridge that is even better than this live one. (I've always been a bit off-put with live music... don't know why)
Is there a studio recording of Melissa singing this? I've heard a slightly different version here on You Tube accompanying a video about Jenny and Marina from the L Word (how jealous am I of Jenny - Marisa is gorgeous?!)
I love this song. So beautiful, so sweet, the lyric is so sad. I could always cry if i hear that song and listen to the lyric.
Melissa is a beautiful women, with top songs and a hard life - so, she proceed it into her lyrics. I realy would know about who (two "loves") she is singing...
I never knew M.E played piano. She's rocking my world even more know. lol. This is my second week of knowing M.E existed. I know ... *gasp*. At least I have the previlage of knowing she exists now. lol. =D
I know everyone wants to cuddle to this song, but to you guys really know what it's about? It's about a woman having an affair, but it's not just some meaningless affair, she's really in love with both people. It is a beautiful, sad song... but it really doesn't make me want to cuddle, lol...
this is on live and alone and i put it in often just to hear this song. i downloaded the joan armatrading version just because the song is amazing in itself. its soo true to any relationship. i wish she would actually release this on a cd.
Sorry, I commented a bunch on this video but I think it's become my new favorite song of hers. LOL Which used to be Like The Way I Do. But she's just great. This song is like one big long cuddling song. Only way I can explain it. You just wanna cuddle with someone when u hear this.
If you really concentrate on these lyrics...........wow what a powerful song. If I can clear my mind and just listen to it, I can just breakdown and cry.
OMG I HAVE THIS ON THE LIVE AND ALONE DVD I BOUGHT! STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also have her Lucky DVD. Anyone who has those two DVD's are very lucky!!!! (no pun intended) lol
This song reminds me of a girl I love so much - but she doesn't want to be with me. She broke my heart so badly and then ate the pieces.
