5 CHIMPS!


Where do I begin with this song? Let's start with the music. Wow. Jane has some of the best notes she has ever written. It's melodic....smooth....makes you want to tear up it's so beautiful. The Master Reel outtake adds to the gorgeousness...


The lyrics? Perfection.


Such a little girl
Such a hard life



:sigh: That is some powerful stuff! As for the forgotten chimp line....it's not tacky and laughable (well...it does make ya chuckle a bit). I can relate to that line. Stevie is asking there "How would you feel if you were the forgotten one in your own habitat?" That kinda reminds me of what went on in NOLA. They were the the "fogotten chimps" for awhile....struggling in their own environment, due to outside forces.....like the chimps.


Great closer. Great song. Great tribute. I wish she would bust it out for a live performance.
