This is the song that made me a Melissa fan in the beginning. So happy to find a good version of here. Too many people have never heard gems like this from her.
the pain, in her voice, the soul that comes through her music, is one and the best, Melissa , i love you, i love the way you know all our pain, and sing the words for us to contemplate.....
this song was a bonus track released on her first album in 1988....you had to let the album play out minutes after the last song, and BONUS...there it was! I remember being in the bathtub and couldnt get out to change the record and then this came on, I was so pleasantly surprised...
My gay sister is 6 years older than me ... she used to play this when I was a kid and she a teenager ... and I will be grateful to her forever for getting Melissa Etheridge into my musical subconscious, so that even now, at 30 years of age and 15000 miles away from her, I still play her everyday ... Melissa Etheridge is so completely underrated and always was ... anyone who has her music in their soul is blessed with the true knowledge of what beautiful music and artful lyric-writing is .. peace
You make so crazy just thinking about you .... It is INSANE.... But I got to do something... If I cant love and hold you then I dont want to think about you... and If you dont want me I dont know what to do... Yes I'm so in love you...
this song explains exactly what it's like to have a major crush on someone that doesnt even know you exist.....lol i wonder how many ppl have gona thru that.
unfortunately, Wilky218, while this may be a representation of love in a song, there are still those out there that would consider this stalking. I'm with you tho, seriously.. I guess this song is for those who truely LOVE, it sucks to have this much love for someone, and they dont understand that they hurt you so bad that you want to crumble to dust. :(
15 years?! First heard her sing this in '82 or '83, so that's like....yikes...27 yrs? If you're interested in trivia, this is basically the song that got Melissa her recording contract. Lyrically it's one of my all-time favorite songs, so thanks for sharing it! xo
This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I've been listening to it for years- no one sings with soul like Ethereridge. Thank you so much for sharing this!
This is my 2nd favorite Melissa Etherigde song, after "Meet Me in the Dark." My dad says it's the most human love song. The lyrics are so true and depressing :( , but so amazing and right :)
her voice is amazing she draws me rt in there was a time in my life where she helped me through just by her music love her
