Hi Bill,

Please double check the release year for Tigerlily. My memory and Wikipedia state that the album was released in 1995. I remember because I wrote that entire summer with Tigerlily as background.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Actually I believe it was coined as a precursor to hypnosis being developed rather than animal magnetism.  

Mesmer was one of the first to explore the realms of the subconscious in people. . . which is still (sadly) not given any credence by the scientific professions even though its bloody obvious that para normal activities associated with it exist.

The inclusion of elements of classic music and folklore, in partcular the accordion, violin, banjo, mandolin, cello, clarinet, in songs, places in evidence the quality of this singer-author;  Ms. Natalie Anne O'Shea Merchant treats music with respect.

Wait ... she's female. So what I gather from other song comments, it must be either Tori Amos or Aimee Man. By federal law, female singers are no longer allowed to sound like any other female singers safe those two (let alone themselves).

About the song: Anyone for a "I'm completely indifferent to Natalie Merchant" group? I just cannot bring myself to hate or adore her, though I'm convinced both must be very rewarding.

First time I heard this song was during a visit to the Bay Area in 2000 and I was driving up 101 from SFO to the city centre. Thankfully, the San Andreas stayed put while I was visiting. This is the first time I've heard the studio recording as the one I heard on the radio that afternoon was the live version and I have to say I like the live one more, maybe just 'cos I heard it first, but the guitar piece is so much stronger on the live cut. Bummer to have just tuned in too late to hear the preceding Grey Eye Glances, The Lost Coast which I like too - anyone else used Google Earth to track the geography of the song? (?!?!) Maybe there's something for Bill to enhance on RP.com : geotags for songs. Not that I'd always recommend it having tried to follow the locations of Van Morrision's Coney Island one Sunday afternoon - we criss-crossed County Down for miles.

At least the hater quotient is fairly low in the comments for this song. I don't know why so many RP members just seem to sit back and wait for a song to come on that they don't particularly like so they can run to their keyboard and blather about how "oh this person sings terribly!" or some other nonsense. Seems like most people agree on this one, it's simply a good song. I like the Ophelia album even better but this was a nice start to her solo career.
