	Hi;

	I really like this song, and I have to agree the singer
seems to be repressed, but its perfect for this melody. Maybe if
I understood the lyrics Id think different, but the whole song
feels sad and repressed like communist east europe or something;)
The only part I dont like is where the singer speaks a word. It
throws off the lyrical aspect. She should remain plaintive.
