There's something unbearably beautiful about this song. Like most of my favourites it's got a desperate streak to it, and I consider it one of the best first tracks ever. Joan Osbourne is a woman who really knows how to use her voice; she raises it to the heavens and really communicates on an emotional level with her music. Listening to her is always a draining experience, but this song makes me eager to be drained.

The bass on this song is just incredible, and the lyrics are fantastic. I find this a great song to listen to when I'm really pissed off. It gives me some impetus to go out and change things around.

I almost always cry when I'm listening to this one. McKennitt's voice is amazing, and I think she's done wonderful things with all the poetry she's adapted to music. This one in particular really speaks to me; she's made me feel the poem in ways that I never could while just reading it.

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.

It makes me laugh. I'm sure that it's supposed to, but oh well. I have a lot of fun listening to this song.
