I've always loved Help Me. It's such a simple philosophy and so pervasive - being worried about falling in love for fear of commitment and compromising independent freedom for the sake of togetherness It's something I've struggled with lately. Being 25 and being involved in a serious relationship is a real learning experience. It's often a struggle for someone who has a very driven individualistic streak to make compromises for the sake of unity.
"We love our loving, but not like we love our freedom..." It's always a fear that it may boil down to that in the end. The verse about dancing "with the lady with a hole in her stocking" always sort of escaped me but I love its snaky melody and that long vocal bridge - "didn't it feel goooooood..." k.d. lang did a lovely version of it at the Tribute concert on TNT. A friend in Alabama taped it for me, since it was never aired in Canada, unfortunately. -Andrew in Ottawa Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now
