If I look on this album cover, I'm remembering a story of Pablo Picasso, who once said:" Why should I paint a nose there where it normaly is? Nobody would recognise it".
Always love hearing Lyle Lovett do background vocals.
This song takes me back to grad school; lots of late nights writing papers and discussing some pretty heavy topics. Great times and great music.

She has written some fabulous meaningful stuff like this one. Im a big fan! Listen to "In a matter of minutes" and "Trouble". Quite profound really.

I'm recognizing it totally the opposite, she is actually the fresh and living one, and R. L. J. is the goddess for the depressive ones. In this way it becomes a shoe!
Hearing this in the background as I comment on rough drafts for students, I thought this was a new Rikki Lee Jones song.
That's a compliment.

Wow
A great CD! And so much better than the not-so-good covers that she seems fond of lately.
This is a terrific album, and this may be the best song on the album. But for my money, Fat City is her best. “Set the Prairie on Fire...”
Every time I hear Shawn Colvin I think I need to dig deeper into this artist but just don't find the time. She sounds sometimes like if I could role all of my favorite female artists together I would find this amazing sweet and edgy sound.

I am still dreaming about how wonderful the inaugural Cayamo voyage was... and how wonderful it was listening to Shawn, Patti Emmy Lou under the stars in the middle of the Caribbean sea......wow!

I still love her "Steady On" CD best ("Dead of the Night" inspired me to write several short stories), but this one is just great, too. Shawn Colvin is one of my favorite female artists, and this song is so edgy and unexpected, lyrically, that I can't help but keep it high on my very small list of icons.

"Sunny Came Home" from this album won song of the year in '98. The rest of the songs aren't far behind. Very strong album.
Yeah... nice to hear it again.
Like the artist, like the song. The cover is just plain stupid with a stupid album title. Sorry Shawn...trying too hard to be obscure, mysterious and cutting edge at the same time. Just doesn't work for me. Then again...I'm in a crabby mood right now...so....zip.

A solid 10 for me - this song and the album. Still in heavy rotation after owning it for years.

Totally agree! Time was, I would play this all the way through over and over.
This whole album is solidly good to great, from beginning to end...full of interesting music, emotions, instrumentation and lyrics.

Yup. And coauthored most of it as well.
Sounds like John Levanthal, Rosanne Cash's hubby, produced this.

Bill is batting three for three today in the "new additions" category.
Sounds like John Levanthal, Rosanne Cash's hubby, produced this. Gotta be. You can hear his distinctive guitar riffs like on Rosanne's recent albums.

I haven't heard this in a long time. This is a really good song and album.
Lotsa good songs on this album. Nice stuff. It's good to hear this tune finally.
