Requested By Raychelle Dunn
This song is from Ani DiFranco’s sixth studio album “Not a Pretty Girl” which was released in the year 1995.
I am intrigued by the sheer simplicity of this song. The compact use of instruments and the solo vocals of Ani is absolutely mesmerizing. It might be because of the simplicity of this song that it was featured on the sound track of the movie “Better Than Chocolate”. Anyways, I really like this song.
