This is the most depressing song I've ever heard in my life! It's like something out of The Bell Jar, one of the most depressing and horrible novels ever written!
Nay!! I contend that indeed I do. Another singer's voice reminded me of Leah Andreone's, but of course I couldn't remember Leah Andreone's name or the name of the song or any of the lyrics, just her voice (useless memory). I only knew it didn't make Billboard 100 (doesn't exactly narrow the hits), solo female singer, circa 1996-1998, and possible allusion to nursery rhyme or fairy tale. After furious googling, I found it. Oh joy, oh rapture even!
@seymourmonkee Well, I wouldn't call that a useless memory since at least you knew the song still (there have been favorite songs & even entire favorite bands I've forgotten before, & couldn't remember until I heard them again. It's weird, like a type of amnesia. Sometimes I'd recognize an old fave song instantly, other times I'd feel a crazy sense of deja vu then realize I'd heard it before. Sometimes I wouldn't remember until months after listening!)
For me, the whole get-up between Andreone and Tisdale also might draw a parallel over the issue of R&B group Blackstreet's cover version of The Beatles' 1964 "Can't Buy Me Love," which they re-recorded as "(Money Can't) Buy Me Love" in 1996 (same year as the song this video represents!). But Blackstreet's version was sung very differently although both Lennon and McCartney were credited in the composition.
great song.. that's a long time i looked for it.. and didn't remember the singer.. now i know... it's not true , the best decade was the 80's.. 90's was dance attitude, and a lot of copycat... 80's was great, except the clothes.. so ugly.. lol
I think that people are taking this Ashley Tisdale thing too far - both songs have the same name, but Tisdale's isn't a cover - it's a completely different song. Don't trash her for it. It's like Jill Sobule and Katy Perry both having songs called "I Kissed a Girl." Same title, NOT the same song.
But when Ashley Tisdale ended up covering this song 11 years after this first came out, Leah Andreone thought that she was receiving mechanical royalties for this song.
In the 90s, I heard this song, and memorized a handfull of lyrics. When Google was invented, I entered the lyrics . In 2005, I finally found out whose words I remembered all these years.
Ever since this song came out I actually bought the cassette single. I loved the diffrent way for her to sing its her own style. great song and music.
to me she doesnt sound to good but to all the fans pleas dont tell m ofrf or something like that because its my opinion or how ever you spell that lol
you like totally wrong ashley tisdales one is completely different and it was written for HER not a remake!! get you facts straight before you say stupid crap
I was listening to this on my mix tape from '97. The radio version is a little different. I still like the song though. This is much better than what is popular today.
ead Don't laugh at this! Just do it Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true
I got both of her albums in 2000 when all items at a local record store were being sold out and I was impressed with the high quality of both of these releases.
I've always found it a shame that she didn't release anything ever since but apparently she's recently released an EP with unreleased songs, so I'll try to get that one.
I can attest to the dire state of the music business, maybe the problem is bigger in the States than over here in Europe but talented musicians are always appreciated.
Andreone was signed in the wake of Alanis Morisette's success and it's a shame RCA didn't permit her to record a third album after the whole Alanis and Lilith Fair period cooled off. My favorite track on the second album is "Inconceivable." I imagine Bette Midler (!) covering it as a balls-to-the-wall rocker. Great lyric and song, co-written by the gents from The Hooters. I really like her voice in general--it kind of has a "mad kewpie doll" quality to it, and I mean that as a compliment!
Check out my other favorites in my channel, also in "My videos" section I put some of my soap operas videos, let me know what you think. Excelente video
Chequeate mis otros favoritos. Por cierto, si te vas a mi canal me puedes ver actuando en mis novelas, jejeje.
This is the only song I have heard of hers, but I think she's a great songwriter and singer, but she's not overly commercial so I can see why she didn't "make it big." But I hope she is still making music and doing her thing, because she's very talented.
There's a Scandinavian candy commercial that uses the 'It's alright, it's okay' part of the song in it. Thanks to the commercial I found this song <3 (:
A very catchy song with a storyline many could relate to--I first heard this on a modern rock station in summer 1996--the song reminded me of an attractive girl in my poetry class that fall who was also a singer.
I have this promo poster board of her, sitting cross-legged and barefoot, looking as cute as can be. She's great, just wish she had hit it big with the fickle populace.
Random vid!!! - I can't believe though the record companies would rather focus on regurgitated unlistenable 'manufactured' bubblegum (i.e Britney) music during the late 1990s instead of realistic singer-songwriter material like this...
holy crap... and look at the state of music now! Youtube is the new mtv (among other things!) but as for mainstream i personally don't know of any source of music. its all rap first (mind you- rap that sucks) and then the lesser pop. bleh. AND i don't like my chemical romance and crap like that. :( leah andreone is great. my mom use to listen to her when I was eight or so and I was loved her music.
In middle school I believe I was in 8th grade, I had this inside joke with a friend. Everytime one of us would say "It's Alright" which was quite frequently the other one would say "yeah yeah it's alright it's okay killing time just watching the grass grow" and we would start talking about this song for a few minutes. But this album Veiled is fuckin awesome I can't count the amount of times I've listened to it.
80s was definitely the best decade for music

listening to this song now only reaffirms my distaste.
from her horrid voice to the pretentious lyrics("freebase fun house", seriously?)i'm glad she never got anywhere.
& the video TOTALLY goes with the song perfectly.
