This love cannot be bought or sold
It's timeless as a story often told
Oh, and this love is never well behaved
Makes me wanna testify
Stand up, tell the world I'm saved

Oh, daughters of Jerusalem
I have seen the day break
And the shadows flee away

I'll break the chains of fear
In the name of this love
Laugh away the tears
In the name of this love

And this love, it doesn't bow its head
It don't need anybody's blessing
And don't care what anybody says, oh

Oh, daughters of Jerusalem
I have seen the day break
And the shadows flee away

I'll break the chains of fear
In the name of this love
Laugh away the tears
In the name of this love

Oh, daughters of Jerusalem
I have seen the day break
And the shadows flee away
Ooh, ooh

I'll break the chains of fear
In the name of this love
Laugh away the tears
In the name of this love
Name of this love

...with Billy Graham. Still, if I can live with reggae's Songs of Praise I can put up with godsquad rock, I guess.

The overt Christian thing put me off a little, but there's no denying the passion of the sentiment.  Had to look up the lyrics...at first, I thought she was singing "in the name of Islam"...{#Mrgreen}

This is a solid 7 for me, don't care for the chorus but over all I like it okay. But today I got that twinge of "tired of this" and thought maybe we could find something else from her maybe?

I second that comment!  Good stuff. She's got a great, comfortable vibrato - not too fast, not to slow.  Yum.{#Clap}

Good point, I really like Animal Logic, lots of talent in that short lived band. There is no Animal Logic on RP play list, I need to upload some and hope it will pass Rebecca's screening process. I think it would play well in the RP format.

Yeah... sounds great... never heard of her. Thanks again R.P. Offered before the Indigo Girls... nice fit. Who says it never rains in southern California? Beautiful rainy days here on the Central Coast too! New Christmas toy and a Dell XPS, a grand view of Monterey Bay, Radio Paradise, NFL Sunday & the Niners, a rainy day... and a New Year!

Heh. At first when I heard this I thought, wow, a Sheryl Crow song I actually kinda like. Then I looked at the playlist and saw it wasn't her. No wonder my ears weren't bleeding by the end. Sorry, just not a Sheryl Crow fan. Kim Richey can stay though.

OK...time to brag. I hung with Kim (went out to dinner with her) after "Foxfest" (at a radio station I was working at in Manchester, NH). She's an absolute sweetheart, and truly genuine. At the time, we bonded over "The X-Files" (she was a BIG fan). Want to hear some of the most straightforward and really odd advice that she gave me (keep in mind how lyrically genius she is, now)? She said, "...Mike, if you want to get over somebody...you have to go and f**k someone else." How about that? I'll never forget it...and that helped with the breakup I was going through!

Man, how much do I LOVE THAT SONG! Passionate, with some wonderful lyrics. Not overdone, but not limp in any way. I generally think country music is the Devil\'s work and avoid it like the plague, so without RP, I probably would have never discovered this song.
Posted 22 years ago by Blackjack    [ Reply ]
I like the country sound of her voice, and I prefer slightly strident to breathy. I would like to hear more of her. SHe sounds a bit like Sheryl Crow, but she is an individual enough to deserve airplay of her own. Country crossover is an interesting subcategory.

"Goddess of Jerusalem ? Now there's a thought. Nice anti-patriarchal spin in what could otherwise sound a bit like Christian Radio. Hey but I'm a buddhist who in ecstatic moments has tripped out on Amy Grant Well of course it's "Daughters of Jerusalem" ...so perfectly obvious .....once I read the lyrics. "Goddess of Jerusalem" - Totally wishful thinking I'm sure. Always have thought that the Father of all Patriarchal Oppressions richly deserves some archetypal comeuppance.
