Sheryl Crow - "It Don't Hurt" - 1999 - best live version I've seen yet. Lyrics

Sheryl Crow - It Don't Hurt. Live. 1999. This particular performance has the attitude & passion I always thought this song was supposed to have. Nice spoken intro by Sheryl and a really high-powered ending.

(Watch as she tosses her guitar pick away at the end of the song.)

Lead guitar by Peter Stroud. Amazing intensity on drums by Jim Bogios. Great supporting vocals & bass guitar by the very cool Tim Smith. Keyboards by Mike Rowe. Lorenza Ponce on violin. Matt Brubeck on cello.

Lyrics:

It don't hurt like it did
I can sing my song again
It don't hurt like it did
I can sing my song again.

Scraped the paper off the wall
I put down carpet in the hall
I left no trace of you at all
And I can sing my song again.

I don't dream 'cuz I don't sleep
The curtain's tied up like a bat (sic)
The sun comes up
But I don't see
Curtain's tied up like a bat.

The electric man looks good today
Maybe not, well I'm trying hard
Trying hard to feel that way
The electric man's a good place to start.

I took your paintings off the wall
That one of me that you called "doll"
I added on 'cuz the house was feeling small
I can sing my song again.

I don't think of you no more
Except for everyday or two
I don't think of you no more
Except for in between the sun and moon.

Packed up and moved out after all
I bulldozed the house and watched it fall
That blessed sight I still recall
I can sing my song again
I can sing my song again

It don't hurt like it did
It hurts worse
Who do I kid?

@meshugeah. You're right. Thanks.

I'd love to see the version of "Riverwide" from this concert. The 'Rockin' the Globe' DVD concert version is incrediblely good.

Wow, this version is spectacular and the Globe Sessions has to be my all-time favorite album...Could you please tell me from what concert is this video taken?

[MoreSherylCrow]

"Sessions at West 54th Street" from the summer of 1999, on PBS (public broadcasting system). I agree about this version... I thought - Finally! - a performance of this song that really expresses the anguish and anger of getting over the end of a relationship.

I have a few others songs from this concert and I'll look thru them to see of they're worth posting. This one really stood out.

[blackslick73]

so addicted to this version...pure...

[kandyrocker]

im pretty sure this is one of the best performances of any artist ever.

I love this version. It's the number two song on my iPod. She messes up the moon is hanging like your hat line, but she messes up the "except for everyday or two" on the 2005 version. Maybe its a complicated story. This version has a simpler (better) violin. And her twang is the younger Sheryl here.

I could listen to this song everyday. And who do I kid?

[NEKSIRRAH]

she totally messed up her lyrics 1:55. The second guitarist is so confused. It's my favorite line of the song.
