Like or Dislike: Jane

[CreepingDeath]

It's not my favorite from Street Angel, but I still like it a great deal. The chimp line might be strange, but some others make up for it, IMO. For example:

Through a window all our sorrows
Would become our only visions...
Nothing more

[Neal]

2 chimps. As others have already said, I like the vocal and the melody a lot; the lyrics just don't do much for me...

[Dark Angel]

I just screwed up and gave it four chimpanzees by mistake. I think I was up just a little too late last night.
I would actually give it 2 .5. I like the melody and some of the lyrics, but the 'chimpanzee' line just ruins it for me.
I do love the line "Through a window all our sorrows would become our only visions".

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.

and there we would be, hands on the stage facing her with our pants at our ankles MOONING the infidels in the audience

This song doesn't do it for me. Nice sentiment, though.

I like to dedicate this song to this building. It's where this tour started. If it wasn't for it, I wouldn't have toured. Thank you Las Vegas. This is for you....It's called Jane.

i gave it 2 chimps. but now that i think about it i would probably give it 3. i do love the vocals and the harmonies. I also love some of the lyrics very much.

Same here. Lovely sentiment, very poor execution.

This could describe well over half of Stevie's solo work in my opinion. But usually it "works" on some weird level I can't fathom. Christine calls it "rubbish". But it's rubbish that many of us have picked up anyway. And stored in our houses!
