only album of hers i own...
love the fragile,insecure almost childlike uncertainty in the way she sings....
it sets the songs up perfectly for the themes of longing,loneliness,regret,sorry that fills the album....
not sure whether she deliberately picks themes like that or whether its all a part of her psychy,what with the troubled life she had almost up till that point, if it is its good to see her bare her soul, if its not, then shes a bloody good singer who knows where to put the emotion/emotional bits in the right places...
songs on here are generally solomn,both in lyrical content and musically and it works very well,
album gets a pretty good score from me,wasnt sure it would when i plucked it from the box(thinking time might not serve this well)...but it did and it has...
i was surprised to find this one charted higher here than all other locations on wiki,the single "running for our lives" only appeared to chart in Australia also and Australia was the only place where this one recieved a sales status(gold)...strange indeed!
