Finding solace
Finding solace somewhere
Seeking comfort
Seeking comfort somewhere

Over and over
Over she calls
Over and over
Over she falls

The black widow
Waiting for her lover
The black widow
Crying in her bedroom

Over and over
Over she calls
Over and over
Over she falls

(Pull me out)

Seeking comfort
Seeking comfort somewhere

And she cries, and she cries
Feeling lonely
She is lonely

And she dies, and she dies
Feeling lonely
She is lonely

Recognise recognise
The black widow
The black widow
Recognise, recognise
The black widow
The black widow
The black widow

For me, it's impossible to listen to her voice without remember The Cranberries.. {#Shifty}

annoying as hell.

All of a sudden she started hissing and I thought I was hearing that little girl from America's Got Talent (??) singing.

Cat in vise 

 
Since we're recalling classic Seinfeld lines on this page... 

"You leave those squirrels ALONE!"

OK, so it's a cat and not a squirrel. But I feel kitty's pain: she can't reach the PSD button when this song is playing. 


About that Mulva/Dolores joke in Seinfeld: Dolores shows up in a later episode and Jerry proudly greets her by name as if that will impress the woman. Strangely, no dice. 

Truly brilliant show. Truly awful song. Truly lovely cat.

This poor woman has listened to way too much Bjork.

The name that Jerry Seinfeld was guessing his girlfriend's name was, since he had forgotten except for remembering that it rhymed with a female body part.
Dolores: "You have no idea what my name is, do you?"
Jerry: "...Mulva?"

Like this song, pretty good

I'd like to hear her team up with Maynard James Keenan.
That might be pretty wicked.

I wish she had chosen to remain anonymous. This song is irritating.

Read a great story about Dolores today after Bill played something from the new album:

 From the Mail Online:

 Seven years of relentless touring and recording had led to a catastrophic breakdown.
She had therapy, recovered, had three children and focused on "just being anonymous".

I always thought the Cranberries were a tad overrated, never quite following up on the promise of Zombie. This however is rather good.

Where's the dude with the hotel room? He only posts when everybody is up dancing. Right now, the people in MY hotel room are clawing at their ears, making the International Symbol for choking and wretching... <1>

This is the first time I am hearing this tune. Quite intriguing.

Anger and melody. An unusual yet pleasing combo! Nice tune.
