Gangsta and I just returned from the Annie Lennox concert. She began with No More I love You's and ended with Why> I'll let Gangsta fill in the set list (yes, he snagged one, again, actually two of them ~ one for a friend).
I cried through three quarters of the concert. All I can say is WOW, WOW and again WOW. What a superb year for the ladies ~ Bjork, Tori, PJ Harvey, Joni, Annie Lennox,Chaka Khan
to them all

I'm going this Monday. Really looking forward to it. Never thought I'd get to see her.

very cool!

Don't forget Meshell.

GangstaFam said:

OMG ~ I KNEW I was forgetting someone important in my excitement!

I wonder if this means that "Smithereens" and "Ghosts in My Machine" will be the other 2 singles from the album. It would make sense! Sounds like an awesome show!

Moonbeam said:

You would have adored it sweetie ~ she was just gorgeous. I couldn't stop crying like a small child.

That's how I felt. She was always on my list of people to see but it seemed like it would never happen. Nathan surprised me with a call saying he had tickets! It was sublime. I hope you enjoy as much as we did.

She did Broken Glass and it sounded as fresh as tomorrow! And Nathan is THE best concert buddy ever!

MoonSongs said:

I need to get tickets for that one too.

Moonbeam said:

I wish she would've done "Love Is Blind" and "Lost". Those are the 2 best songs.

I am so pissed I missed her here the other night now.

I was thinking how much I wished you had been there.

GangstaFam said:

She ended the show with my favorite Annie Lennox song.

GangstaFam said:

You think so? I'd rank and rate the songs this way:

1. Big Sky- 10
2. Dark Road- 10
3. Coloured Bedspread- 10
4. Through the Glass Darkly- 10
5. Ghosts in My Machine- 9
6. Fingernail Moon- 9
7. Smithereens- 9
8. Lost- 8
9. Womankind- 6
10. Love Is Blind- 6
11. Sing- 3

Hello Beamie.

Lothan said:

Hello Ms. Ivy.

Moonbeam said:

For real? We don't agree on anything anymore.

GangstaFam said:

Yeah. I do really enjoy "Lost", but not as much as the 7 ahead of it. "Love Is Blind" seems like it was done in 10 minutes, and the whole "sick and tired"-themed upbeat piano songs have grown a bit stale, in my opinion. What do you think of the other songs?

Moonbeam said:

Well, I'd have "Sing" at the bottom definitely. But I'd have "Through the Glass Darkly at #10. It's the only other song on the album I 'almost' don't like.

The last few repititions of "Sick and tired..." do annoy a little bit. But I like "Love is Blind." I like the first chorus lyrics, from "Sometimes I feel like I don't exist." I like "Womankind" alot too. Especially the rap part.

So, beyond "Sing" and "Glass Darkly," it'd be difficult for me to decide the order of the other songs.

I adore the mood of "Through the Glass Darkly". The way she sings it and its production remind me of Diva.
