colvin has a great voice and that cant be denied. the only thing about this song i dont have a "feel" for is the basis for the lyrics. what is this shit man ? dude in the school yard right. what could that dude do to provoke such a strong emotional sensation about at night ? if it's a punk, woop his ass and be done with it. if its anybody else, top em......the song is for a puss......bar none.
Shawn Colvin just shakes the very foundations of being for me...I just got it so bad...3am...what am I ever gonna do...but sing...that's all there is...oh Shawn...just shine baby...shine and shine and shine...just keep shining baby...I love you. I just can't help it...what you inspire is almost unbearable...bearable only because you are in the world...you're a fucking bad ass...the baddest...you are the baddest...yes you are!
we all know shawn colvin is so fantastic, but kudos to john leventhal, too. he's simply one of the best producers out there. and has provided stunning arrangements for among others, shawn colvin and rosanne cash, too.
yeah noname123; gotta agree. the guy is so great! producer, arranger, and also, just plain ol' guitar player... he's a triple threat.
saw him with roseanne cash, in ketchum, on a beautiful summer night a year or so back. they were fantastic.
his guitar playing is stunning to see: he seems to access every riff that has ever been played, and then make it his own. encyclopedic and emotional and original, all at once. totally cool.
I love to hear her play with just the guitar sort of the unplugged version of her songs. I love this song a lot and love the way she plays with John Leventhal in this clip. Shawn could you send me the chords to this one? :):)
Great video! I got that CD 2 nights ago and love that song! Even better live- like most of Shawns stuff. :)Who's the other guitarist? Is it Mr. Leventhal?
I love you Shawn! You are such an inspiration. If you are reading this, come listen to my originals. I love your Bora Bora DVD. My favorite performer of all time. Seriously people, if you are not familiar with Shawn's work, then start listening. She is vastly underrated and on everyone's "in-the-know" top ten list of singer-songwriters. Jon
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SHAWN COLVIN AND CATHY KREGER PLAY TOGETHER

To the illiterate 293dudley, it is "whup" (non-standard past tense for whip) not "woop." Sheez...........

"My Daddy hit me" is the key lyric here. It's about her rough upbringing from her father , It's well know that he beat her!

John Leventhal is phenomenal- he played almost every instrument part in the recording of the Wreckers Stand Still- Look Pretty album.
