    That's fun for me to know!! Thanks!
    :)

    For some reason, I sometimes think this is Dido singing this song - - I like Dido a lot, too.

    I learned who she was when she did that Eminem song with him.  It was a very good song.

    Hey, wait -- Eminem joined her on the song -- the part she sings here is her own song. He must have liked it and asked her to join her on the song? Maybe? I don't know for sure. I just know that Dido sings the song (not his rapping part) completley by herself on her own album.

    What am I trying to say? I don't know. The song she sings in this video is a song she sings by herself on one of her albums.

    I like them together, too.
    :)

    EDIT: found the song -- "Thank You" Dido - - the music video is interesting, too





    Edit #2: I don't know which song came first, I guess

    This is so good!! Never heard it before! Liked it in the first 40 seconds!

    OMG -- I stopped the song at the 1:32 mark -- this song is STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why have I not heard more of their stuff? And the image at the 1:26 mark to 1:36 mark -- him sitting there wearing cool shoes and smoking -- excellent.

    and the 2:42 to 2:50 mark -- Kobain looks like he's crying, beautiful image to me

    and the last image of the band  - love the guy's expression in the middle; handsome guy, too, that guy in the middle

    Loved that song, thanks! Like I said, never heard it. :)

    As you know from that other question I posted a while ago and we started talking about Nirvana- -  "All Apologies" is so far their song that just slays me. If that's the right expression.

    It's about a guy torturing a girl with a blowtorch.  

    he was very into women's rights

    Whew - - the song sounds it'd be pretty heavy.
    Who is "he" in your comment there? About "He was very into women's rights"?

    Kurt Cobain was.  The song is intense.  It is haunting.  And he was always talking about how we need to address why men are brutal and not why women should be careful.  In the song, which was based on a real life story, she escapes and hurts him back.  

    So, there is THAT. LOL  Here it is.  It is a good song.  Or I wouldn't do this to ya.





     
    Play "Polly"
    on Amazon Music Unlimited (ad)
     
    "Polly"
    (MTV Unplugged Version)

    Polly wants a cracker
    I think I should get off her first
    I think she wants some water
    To put out the blow torch

    Isn't me,
    Have some seed
    Let me clip,
    Dirty wings
    Let me take a ride,
    Hurt yourself
    Want some help,
    Help myself
    Got some rope,
    Have been told
    Promise you,
    Have been true
    Let me take a ride,
    Hurt yourself
    Want some help,
    Help myself

    Polly wants a cracker
    Maybe she would like more food
    She asks me to untie her
    A chase would be nice for a few

    Isn't me,
    Have some seed
    Let me clip,
    Dirty wings
    Let me take a ride,
    Hurt yourself
    Want some help,
    Help myself
    Got some rope,
    Have been told
    Promise you,
    Have been true
    Let me take a ride,
    Hurt yourself
    Want some help,
    Help myself

    Polly said

    Polly says her back hurts
    She's just as bored as me
    She caught me off my guard
    It amazes me, the way the whip stings

    Isn't me,
    Have some seed
    Let me clip,
    Dirty wings
    Let me take a ride,
    Hurt yourself
    Want some help,
    Help myself
    Got some rope,
    Have been told
    Promise you,
    Have been true
    Let me take a ride,
    Hurt yourself
    Want some help,
    Help myself

    I have to go to work now but I am working at getting to all the songs people have posted to me recently. Hope to get back to this to listen, yes. :)  Like you said, it looks intense, yes.

    Yes. 

    The PETA uses that song on all their commercials around here. 

    It is a pretty song. We used to make grave plaque that had an angel engraved on it that said "May you find Peace in the Arms of and Angel" 
    It sold quite well especially after the song became popular.

    (Those commercials with pain-filled animals? Hearing that song at the same time? Oh, my - - I'd be grabbing every animal and  hugging them and sending all my money to them -- ha )

    I don't even remember when the song actually became popular. I only know whenever I hear it I like it.

    Yeah, those get to me.

    Every cat I've had has been a "rescued" cat. :)

    That is awesome. 
    We had some rescue dogs as a kid. My current cat is a different kind of rescue. My son's friend rescued it from a snake when it was like 3-4 weeks old. Mother cat was not around. His friend had large dogs so could not keep him.

  • I know I am in the minority here but I have never cared for that song.  Actually I detest it.  Go figure.  I do however looooove Sarah Mclachlan.  What a talent.
