J3FF3R00 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 This is one of my favorite songs. Every time I hear it, there is a good chance I will start crying... and I RARELY cry to music. This poor girl had a pretty hard/short life. I heard she learned to write songs in jail. Original gangsta. If you sift through the Favorite outubes thread, I'm pretty sure you'll find my post with this clip in it. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z_B_Z Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 ive never heard of her before but that was a lovely song. i like her lack of vibrato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z_B_Z Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 ive been listening to 'jesus was a crossmaker' because of this thread and i must say that even after a couple of listens the song wont leave my head. theres something strange about the way she sings, i like it.

Guest Masonic Boom Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 She's one of those people I really wish I could get into more, but it never really seems to take. Every review I read is always like "this should have my name all over it" but I end up taking it off and putting on a Wendy & Bonnie record instead.

J3FF3R00 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think the whole Heart Food album is brilliant. I also have a very good memory association with it, so that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 she was really gangster. Really disfunctional. SHame. Her albums to me were over produced. Too many overdubs. SHe should have stuck with this simple style of singing one take over a piano. Much more natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z_B_Z Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 it was reform school, not prison. lets not over gangsterize her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Are you posative? I've read a few different places that she was in jail. I believe it may even say so in the scripture of wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Z_B_Z Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 a few articles in the washington post, the observer and uncut say different. thats not like it diminishes the hardships she went through tho. by all accounts youre certainly right, she had a rough life. the long stretch she did was in reform school. im sure she did short stints in jail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Z_B_Z Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 one thing i will say is that 'jesus was a crossmaker' sounds better without the embellishments. ive heard some bbc live acoustic sessions that sound incredibly beautiful and much more... real (i couldnt find a better word) without the strings and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 lets not over gangsterize her. check out this article... http://www.canadianchristianity.com/bc/bccn/0607/22sill.html "She began experimenting with drugs, and participated in a half dozen armed robberies while in high school..." "Her husband would later die in a river rafting accident while high on LSD. " "Heroin was the main concern, and before long they were reduced to living out of a car, with Sill working as a prostitute, turning tricks in order to support her $150 a day habit. " "...she had alienated (David) Geffen by outing him - referring to his homosexuality in an interview, years before he went public. Geffen was furious, and immediately pulled advertising for the disc. Without support, the album disappeared." straight thuggin gangsta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
