I would die early, to die to this song.... so simply fabulous... the majority of this album is just as fantastic... so soulful this lady has become...
Love this song and Annie makes me proud to be Scottish :)...... heard this song and thought Annie had released another single....Claire McGuire last dance...sounds just like Annie
So far into her pages of You Tube offerings I finally find the best female vocal love song of modern times. 'Please take these lips, even if I have have been kissed a million times' (shivers down the spine for me). 'We stumble, we falter but we're no different from anyone'. Too true! It's the way the song is sad in tone and held back as if admitting defeat while still pleading. I sometimes get tears listening because I know just where she's coming from. Powerful and brilliant.

I adore all the tracks on Diva, but this one is the only one that gives me shivers. Something about the melody and her vocal. Particularly the harmonies in the "do ba do ba do down down" bit. You can sing that so many different ways.
Such depth in not only the lyrics, but the musicality of this gorgeous song! Enchantingly simple melody, yet so many happy layers to support it. From the percussion to the instrumental soloing (is it a flute?) to the background vocals. Truly a masterpiece!
This is the song that was playing in my head as I got married to my husband in San Francisco last year. It remains one of my favorite songs. Some day, I hope to actually see Annie sing it live.
Me too! I lOve this song .. Probably - in retrospect- the best of all.. the melody, the shuffle beat, the words, her voice, the story, the feeling, so well done! Annie's underrated masterpiece.
That's what makes it a special gem for us hardcore fans...
This is the Annie's song that ii prefer. I really love the melody and the words. I don't know why this song it's not so famous. Amazing voice and melody...
Nice...
