I can say that I've lived here in honor and danger
But I'm just an animal and cannot explain a life
Down this chain of days I wished to stay among my people
Relation now means nothing, having chosen so defined

And if death should smell my breathing
As it pass beneath my window
Let it lead me trembling, trembling
I own every bell that tolls me

All I can say about this song is that it's beautiful. The lyrics and Neko's voice are so powerful and lovely and clear.

Neko Case thrills me to the depths of my soul, every time... Sounds perfect, coming after U2's Bad; similar vocal intensity and passion.

I am not familiar with the Neko rules. Will you please list them? And also - What happens if we break them?

Neko Case is one of the many artists to whom I had very limited exposure before discovering RP. Very happy I found both!

Neko's coming to Anchorage for her 45th birthday September 8th.  Looking forward to that.

I agree - Neko Case, Patty Griffin, Joan Osbourne, Melissa Etheridge, Beth Orton... They all have something in common - whiny voices.  It grates on my nerves. I really wish there was less of it here.  I come here for variety. 

 

Comparing Melissa Ethridge and Beth Orton is like comparing Muddy Waters and Geddy Lee.

It sounds to me like you just don't like women singers.

I think they add to the variety and i like 'em!

I'll bet big money you don't understand hyper sarcasm to make a point.

Fact is the frequency of Neko on RP has dramatically dropped since I made this comment (though I'm positive it wasn't becuase of it).

I don't feel that the lyrics are nonsensical, as much as poetic and evocative. She is a very good songwriter and a huge talent. Listen to some Richard Buckner for a similar male talent. (no disrespect intended)
