plaintive introspective personal rumblings. her lyrics, at least on the first disc Little Earthquakes, were like stumbling across someone's open diary. from the B-Side of the Silent All These Years cassette single that i wore out on the bus rides to junior high and high school. many other tori songs are incredible. this one cemented her in my psyche long before Under The Pink ever came out.

I always want to dance to this song, and it's great to sing along to. It reminds me of "Wednesday" in a lot of ways; I just love how the tone changes from upbeat and cheerful to somewhat dark, then back again.
I generally think of this as my favourite Tori song, but that impression only lasts until I listen to pretty much anything else she's done; then I realize that I really can't pick just one. This song is definitely up there, though. There's something beautiful and desperate about it. I also adored the way she blended it with "Muhammed, My Friend," (another of my favourite Tori songs), on "Welcome To Sunny Florida." It was brilliant.
