"As long as you have life and breath, believe. Believe for those who cannot. Believe even if you have stopped believing. Believe for the sake of the dead, for love, to keep your heart beating; believe. Never give up, never despair, let no mystery confound you into the conclusion that mystery cannot be yours." -Mark Helprin

Ouch.
Words or demeanor or both?
Both. There's something so raw about that woman, it hurts.
Raw indeed. I've referenced in a past entry that she's experienced a life marred with enduring sadness and brokenness. That said, she's also quite tough--very acerbic at times. I've seen her give the bird to the camera a la Johnny Cash. She's certainly not demure; maybe even a bit femme fatale.
This song is about a typical broken relationship, but it's the sound, the vibe that I think sets it apart. Just a great tune.
