I still dont understand how you sing with the perfect amount of emotion in every word, will never forget hearing this song for rhe first time and scrambljng to find out how to hear it on repeat
It’s been about 34 years since I first heard JB’s beautiful unique voice, lyrics, and music. So many have imitated her in my opinion but she is the original mistress! Last spring in Wales during a particularly spectacular sunset in Dewi Sant, I had to pull out my phone and play The Story’s nonpareil “In the Gloaming” and actually shed a wee tear. What a gifted artist!
I bought an old house in 2001 and I had to paint the whole thing and my mom came in and I was playing your songs full blast and she was like what the fuck can you just shut up? I was like no I love this girl so much - later, I saw you at the Syracuse landmark theatre and yelled at a request but of course it wasn’t your setlist so you yelled out no, which was sort of hilarious. So thrilled I was so thrilled that you had interacted with me. Just know that one person who has a lot of taste and plays out thinks you are the bomb. I forward your songs to everyone. It’s hard to pick one, but probably taste of danger is my favorite as the Devil’s got the wheel.
I am 53 years old, when my boys were little, we used to watch this all the time!! It STILL gives me chills. I'm so glad you did this! It resonated with me.. as a mom in an abusive relationship with 2 small kids; tryna make my own way in the world while trying to keep them safe. This song is a bittersweet memory for me. They grew up healthy and fine, but they too have their own bittersweet memories as well❤ Thank you again for this!!
This is so sweet. I am standing in my kitchen welling up with tears. Grateful that you are ok, and that this little song resonated with you and your boys. Thank you so much for your comment. Jb
I love many of your songs but this might be my favorite and this authentic version is better than the original. I feel like I’m watching you figure it out.
