from across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning

The night is my companion

I like songs that are deep, and songs that ring true emotionally, and songs that get right to what bites at the heart of our humanity. Possession is one of my favorites -Haunting and Beautiful !

I first heard this song during an episode of Due South (still miss that show) and made a point of watching the credits to see who sang it. Have loved Sarah ever since. That voice is amazing.

Hate to go against the crowd, but it's too much. I can't get a feel for this song at all. No beat. Too much music. Too harsh. Sorry.
