This song is a B-side to the "Crucify" CD single from the UK (not the U.S.
EP and not the UK live EP but a third version of Crucify-- Tori fans have
to buy lots of singles to keep current. It is a Tori song, but it
certainly seems evocative of the Hendrix song "the Wind Cries Mary" (I
think that's the title, I'm not at home so can't check my CDs).
You might still be able to find this single.
There is an interesting line in the song: "when i hear help is on the
way..."
I wonder if its a reference to the G Dead song "Help is on the Way" or if
she's talking about help being on the way.
