Joan Osborne - St. Teresa

check blackmore's night cover of this ... its cool ... blackmore rules !! Nice song btw

I agree, normally I don't like cover versions that other artists do, but Blackmore's Night pulled it off quite nicely! ...I think they're one of the very few groups that can cover songs and not totally butcher them haha :P

I have seen her live twice here in florida long time ago now and both shows were incredible. She is truely a great singer and the band was killer. I LoVE JoAN Osborne!

I love youtube. Every time a song pops into my head from the past, I can trust that someone with the same taste already remembered it. Thanks.

What music do think is special? And you think disrespecting other peoples taste in music is cute how?? Loser!!!

I like this song, but I don't know what it means.

Ordinary people can be saints too.

Are you a saint?

Not yet

I think it is about a drug addict; she is sitting on the corner , taking her doze for a little climb, sitting there with her baby. She sees St Teresa and she's sure everyone sees her as she does. She asks St Teresa to show the truths she have missed to tell, and explains that her crime is a little one, and she had paid her sin for getting her money this way. Maybe I'm wrong.. but I feel it this way.
