This one gonna be tough, more deep piano. I tried to play along, and I think it is in C Sharp. I tuned my guitar to standard, and it was like 1/2 step up when I tried to cover the chords.

IMHO this is PEAK Natalie Merchant in voice, and reality beauty. The album cover alone is her in a near "flapper" dress. That era is the sexiest in humanity IMHO. Natalie has a voice that is haunting. It's sensual, comforting, really natural, and calming. Her voice makes feel at peace. I can almost sing along with some of this...

Yeah I drink too much. The bottle has be to me my own closest friend, my worst enemy.

I don't stand a chance among the living. I'll go off and make myself scarce, ooo come tomorrow you won't find me here. Hard hit, I listen to this on long road trips sober. I also listen nights like this all fucked up. I first heard it on a Pandora channel. I love her voice, deep piano, and the just calm sound. It took like 5 years to actually hear the lyrics.

I've been back and forth on this. 80% of the time I can't understand lyrics on songs. This one It was just the most beautiful song I'd heard since "Angel". When I finally listened on repeat about 10 times on the way to Marquette MI the lyrics finally hit me.

Take what you want, but it is extremely emotional to me.

Well, with power lyrics like:

Now they cut the five tier cake
That Colucci, he can bake

LAWRZ!
