When this song first came out, I remember having a conversation with a friend’s moronic boyfriend, about how it was repetitive. He hated it. (As far as I can tell the only music he actually liked was Metallica and, like…SlipKnot or something awful like that.) I tried to point out that simplicity was the point of the song… a straight-forward, heartfelt “thank you.” He didn’t get it. But I think it’s a nice way to end the year.
I love that she’s still doing the old dance. And because I really love Natalie Merchant too much (honestly, you’re missing out if you don’t have Ophelia or House Carpenter’s Daughter) to pick just one song.
A shout out to the workers out there…
The follow-up to “Kind & Generous”…
And let us not forget every teenage girl’s anthem…
Natalie rocks. Was it the la-la-la part at the beginning that he found repetitive? Hehe. Sounds like another Metallica fan missing out on some other good music.
