She arrives like autumn in a rainstorm
The threat of thunder above
I'll return from the streets of Melbourne
I'll return my love

This is world is filled with frozen lovers
The sheets of their beds are frightfully cold
And I've slept there in the snow with others
Yet loved no others before

These cold dark places
Places I've been
In cold dark places
I dream of spring

This world is filled with frozen lovers
The sheets of their beds are frightfully cold
And I've slept there in the snow with others
Yet loved no others before

These cold darks places
Places I've been
In cold dark places
I dream of spring

In cold dark places
I dream of spring

Leapfrogging my previous "7" to a "10" since really anything from k.d. is "Godlike." Forgive my previous oversight. 


Just did the same, 8 to 10.

Love her voice and the song she chooses to sing. A far cry from when we first saw her dressed like a goofy woman in a baby lacy dress and a straw hat with flowers stuck in the band. She knew how to get noticed just like Dolly Parton and the once they had everyone’s attention out came this awesome voice like an Angel sometime and a sexy woman wailing for her lover. Love KD forever.

I've liked her since I heard her cover of the Hollies' Air That I Breath, on the CD on which every song relates to smoke (I believe it's called Drag).  She's a very good musician.

Mean but devilishly funny. I adore her voice—for my money there's none purer around these days. That said, my high hopes for Watershed as a, well, watershed album for her haven't exactly been met. Sigh. Not that it's a bad album. Far from it. It's just not one I can listen to straight through without getting distracted.

Hear, hear! Is already, for me. And for Stewed_Mulligan: "maybe Rush?" I wish, seems RP just can't rock that progressively. Sure would be sweet to have Bill take us 'Closer to the Heart' but its not to be, RP has only four (4) Rush songs on the play list, alas!
Posted 16 years ago by macadavy    [ Reply ]
No argument about the voice. Other than Constant Craving, which is a classic, I find her stuff too, um, MOR, though ... too suited to your local lite FM station for my taste.
Well, she's always changing genres and doing different stuff, and it's not at all all MOR. Invincible Summer is a favorite CD for me, it's like sunny pop rock but with a lot of strange twists in the songs, like unusual key changes and complete changes of melody but it all stays poppy and pretty yet not your usual commercial stuff, too complex for a top 40 listener to handle. And if you like Constant Craving, that whole album, Ingenue is entirely filled with Constant Craving kinds of pop songs which for lack of reference I'd call Joni Mitchellesque. Then she did pure jazz pop duets with Tony Bennett. And of course that doesn't mention the previous start with country music. She gets around, and it's not all just MOR. She is an absolutely top notch singer, and I think she'll likely be a legend someday.

My statement does look like a comma splice, since the two phrases could stand alone as sentences. It is not a splice, however; it is a two-element list. One could imagine continuing it: "Purist is a noun, purest is an adjective, and purast is a flooverb.". I would also point out that using a word with the correct definition is vastly more important than conforming to a particular style guide; I would guess that the Chicago Manual of Style, the New York Times, and the MLA all agree on the definitions of "purist" and "purest" while disagreeing on the particulars of comma placement in various contexts. It's not so much the definitions of the words that matter to me here, but the fact that the words are built from morphemes with specific meanings: "-ist", one who does, and "-est", the superlative adjective suffix. And yes, I am a card-carrying member of the Nitpicker's Guild. :oP

Her 'Crying' duet with Roy Orbison is the 2nd benchmark.

Keep up the good English lessons folks! We can all use them, including reminders. What a voice! Perhaps one of the best Canadian if not North American female vocalists alive today.

I probably could have done without the steel guitar, but aside from that this is pretty nice. Her voice is still one of the best of her generation.

Hey Bill! Since you're spinning this type tune by Lang what about one or two of her duets with Tony Bennett? Saw a special on her life on TV the other day and they talked about her relationship with Bennett. It's a fine album and surely there must be 1 or 2 that would fit the RP programming guide.
