  • @kobac Yeah that's where I first heard it too (although that was the album version, not this version). It's such a weird mix, because it's such a beautiful (but haunting) song (and originally was written about her cat), but I associate it with something far darker now

  • I heard this song on movie "The Bridge", about suiciders jumping from Golden Gate. Has a totally different meaning to me since I've seen the movie...

  • Wonderful!!!! So much better than the TTT version! Love you, Joni!

  • so much better than the album version!

  • Stunning - why was this not the take on Taming the Tiger? love it love it love it.......

  • This song is devastatingly beautiful. Joni's voice conveys the desperate loneliness and sorrow like someone who has actually been there. And her lyrics... once again proving to us all that her words are poetically perfect for this gorgeous melody. Love the harmonies too. Haunting stuff.

  • I've always preferred this version over Joni's rerecorded and officially released version on 'Taming the Tiger'. This one just has so much more yearning....

  • wow, this was amazing!!!!

  • ah. this is lovely.

  • @ganesh64 and @ilovemusicsomuch, I have the original version of the Grace of My Heart CD. This song is credited to Kristen Vigard (fine singer in her own right), although it is Joni performing it. The song was written when Joni lost her cat, which she called "the man from mars". Stunning how Joni could write a song about a missing cat that was 10X better than most others could write about losing a loved human. Message me if you're interested in finding a copy.
