Like a user needs a drug
And I'll never be free of you
You are poison in my blood
I tried to swim that river
And get to higher ground
I been three times under
The next one'll see me drown
But I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I wanna go down
God knows why you don't want me
No one would do the things I do
But to my grave it's gonna haunt me
How I got down on my knees for you
You are my obsession
And the reason that I live
You already got my soul
There's nothin' left to give
But I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I wanna go down
The devil is deep water baby
And I'm in way over my head
But I'd be drawn and quartered
If I could keep you in my bed
I can't break this spell
I know the trouble that I'm in
But if I got out of the mouth of hell
I'd walk right back again
But I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to talk about it now
I wanna go down...
Been there, done that. This doesn't sound like that. No bunny boilers here.
I disagree. The lyrics read like an unhealthy obsession such as de Clérambault's Syndrome.
No, you don't want to be a man who a woman is obsessed with. It can ruin your life.
Yeah, but for just a little while...

To be the guy she's singing to...? Wow.

I went to the wiki and it's a pretty random fun fact. The bassist is actually Jill Cunniff from Luscious Jackson. I'm a fan of LJ, especially the album that they'd cut w/ Daniel Lanois. I hadn't heard any outside work she'd performed, so now I'll have to keep my ears out!

No need to be rude. Liz Ks not alone in her less than thrilled take on the song. It is possible to love an artist and their work but not love everything they've done.

As I remember her voice, the music and her band were outstanding, as has every show I have seeen her in.

Imagine if Emmylou had struck up an acquaintance with you two. Somebody should make a movie...Clooney and Pitt? Seth Rogen and Jason Siegel?
Your story reminds of my former pottery teacher who'd owned her own (chaotic) studio for years. Jill's a very nice woman but doesn't really remember names, so she calls many of students "weirdo" as an affectionate catch-all. One student in particular caught Jill's eye years ago. "God, she sure was pretty, weirdos..." (Jill leaned that way). The other students had to tell Jill that the dreamboat was Judy Collins.

Emmylou Harris has had what a great many people feel is a very beautiful voice, for a long time, despite the fact that you apparently believe yourself to be an arbiter of vocal talent. It's one thing to dislike the sound of her voice, but asserting that she can't sing is another.
Proclivities rocks!

OH WAIT said that a year ago ................ hahahaha
Welcome to the world of yum. I just bought the CD of "All the Roadrunning" with Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. GOOOOD music. Emmylou's "Wrecking Ball" is an excellent piece of work, should you want to invest...

When Emmylou Harris released "Red Dirt Girl" on Sept. 12th 2006, she was a nine-time Grammy winner. This is her first studio LP since 1995's Wrecking Ball, she wrote 11 of the album's 12 cuts. Don't cha be bad-mouthing the woman of my (and 9 out of 10 other guys) dreams, buck-o. She is an obviously very talented singer-songwriter, with the voice of an angel, and knock your cowboy hat in the dirt looks !
Check her in concert with Mark Knopfler.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HoOR8OhuRM&feature=related

Sammy Ylanas of the BoDeans confessed onstage that he had a crush on Emmylou Harris, and wrote the song, "She's Waiting For Me Somewhere" for her. Just a little trivia there...
Emmylou has forgotten more about music than most artists have ever learned. She's rather iconic. Granted, she's an acquired taste for some people who adamantly repudiate country music (yup, I was one of those people, once upon a time...) but her history speaks for itself. She's amazing. (P.S. - I love "Wrecking Ball"!)

She put on a Concert acoustic guitar that was almost as big as she was.
And she is HUGE!

I just don't feel the same way a Emmylou as I did. I think that Patty Griffin is a much greater talent,
both as a singer and as a song writer. It's a shame that Patty isn't as famous as Emmylou, because
she certainly should be.
I hope you translate that attitude toward J J Cale and Eric Clapton also.

But we don`t need to resort to name calling because I , too , am entitled to my opinion .

It certainly can`t be because of her singing abilities . She always reminds me of some singer/songwriter you might hear at a local coffee shop , on open-mike night , who smells of Patchouli , and tries way too hard because she has to compensate for her limited abilities .
And yes , you know exactly of the type of artiste I`m talking about . So don`t say you don`t .

Either you love her or you don't. I love her, but then I love Bob Dylan & Neil Young as well. Those are two other artists that get many of the same comments as yours. Beauty, regardless if it's seen or heard, is in the eye/ear of the beholder.
I'm a huge fan of Dylan and Young, as well as Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and other "vocally-challenged" artists. I have a lot of respect for Emmylou; she seems like a great person, but I have to say I simply don't like her voice.
This is a good find. Thanks Bill!
Ah, I'm not alone in hearing it then.

Exactly !! You , and many others love her . I don`t . This is what makes the world go `round , (and I did say I did`nt get it ) . I`m luke warm with Neil , but love Bob . Go figure . I`m sure there are many artists I really like , that you`d probably take a pass on . No harm , no foul .

Too bad you conjure up a negative? image of Emmylou.
I think it's sad when people miss the beauty.

Surprised to find that someone could actually judge ELH's stellar vocal abilities as anything less than among the finest and loveliest in American music

You can't re-arrange the words in this song to tell it better, the sad side of a one-sided love affair.
