Hey Rhiannon LOL
How's it going???Well I just had to say that this is one of my fav songs on the "Tusk" album.How can anyone resist those edgy vocals and that killer guitar in the background right???
When I first listened to it my jaw dropped because of that dark,outlandish,constant rhythm booming in the backround too.I had to listen to it another two times in a row in order to be happy.It's just the coolest song
It wasn't till I saw the live version on the "Tusk Documentary" that I had understood why those lyrics weren't possible to listen too unpurpose on the record-it's kind of like "Rhiannon" almost like an improb piece.Her live songs and her songs on record for the most part are two totally different things and on this song it shows that.So if you go to the concert besides from just seeing them live you get the extra little surprises and treats rewarding you for paying another 100+ dollars to see them
That and those lyrics are based upon her audience and I'm sure the record company or someone would be paranoid by those lines being hearable because she "would lose fans".How come everyone reads so much into everything....it's so dumb,it's a great song.So Lindsey just plugged in that guitar and drownded her out-case closed.Now thinking about it I don't think the song would sound right if I was able to hear those lyrics at the end,on the record anyways....
Basically the song is about how the most famous person can be the most loneliest-proven time and again.It doesn't matter how clich'e it is because the principal is timeless and no one else can summerize it in a more creative way then her,that's for damn sure
And I can't go without mentioning the best performance of this song "Mirage Tour" when Lindsey was leaning on her toward the end
Still,it must go and it should go without saying,BUT the best performance of this song CAN NOT beat out a midiocre version of "Rhiannon"-just not possible,that's her TRADEMARK song....
