      I'd love to see the lyrics too.. From what I understand, the song
describes the love-affair between a boy and a girl, and the way it abruptly
ends when they both die in a car crash. The rather explicit description of
the crash, the bizarre choice of words, and the combinsation of John's
spoken poetry and Kate's sweet but sad voice, makes the song almost
Lynchesque. It's definitely startling and scary. Although I like it, and
it's an unpolished diamond just like the other demos, I find it too
disturbing and unsettling to listen to a lot.

     I think the last person we could accuse of overdoing the PR-bit has to
be Tori. And although her work may be slightly reminiscent of Kate, that
doesn't mean she's a copycat. Personally, I think Tori does an excellent job
of just being herself.

 

                     Emmy.
