@rickydickypants ditto ;) i've adored this woman for more than 15 years...seeing her happy is like watching a dear friend finally find joy. anyone who hasn't been with her through all of it might not understand, but that's ok...they don't need to. she's brilliant...that's all there is to it.

@yobhsiFehT me too??!!

There is a ton of creativity and honesty in her music be it happy or sad music. Ani is so talented.

I'm happy that she's happy.

Let's activate! Indeed.

Ani's a one in a billion artist, and she's always been striking to me, too, but she is so stunning in this clip. It is that two jawed smile of hers. There seems less tension in her here, she's lighter. Glad I came upon this.

Ani DiFranco... Billboard... Anyone else confused? :P:)

[TheMelissaNakama]

What is up with people not liking sad songs anyway? I guess it's not hip to walk around mourning the loss of friends, family, animals, co-workers, homes, it's okay though. Keeping a positive bend on things has a place, at least biblically.

Love old Ani & I love the refreshed Ani!

"music is always about transcendence" There couldn't be words more true. Love you Ani.
