It was quite frustrating, I was waiting for them to play ... damn, I want the non accoustic version of this!

haha, i have the same feeling.... i got over it though.... once the song ended...now i just listen to the mp3...no frustration if you can't see right?

I'm already excited about the album....i just hope that the rest of the album is as good as this... or at least for the most part....
It'll be interesting how she sounds non-electric.... i almost want her primarily acoustic if her acoustic stuff sounds as good as this...

Man that lady really has it going on. I'm enjoying this greatly.

I'm calling it now - TMR 033

Haha, she'll get TMR003 and TMR033?? (Mildred joke, haha)

Relating to the song, beautifully done. Jack's a lucky man if there ever was one. Song title reminds me of 'Walking With A Ghost'.

I feel obsessed with this song over the last few days. It lingers in my mind and I just sing it randomly through the day. Her voice is appropriately haunting and beautiful to match those intense lyrics. I don't think I have been this excited about a TMR artist yet, till now.
