Listening to it for the first time. It sounds quite nice. Quite different for her.

Check it out for yourself:

...and if this is old news, then don't hurt me.

No, no, not old news - very GOOD news!

Great little song....love her orchestration...always a pleasure.

And I love it when she sings those melismas in her upper register.

She's so great...I hope she gets that album out sometime soon!

It's quirky. I'm digging the chorus muchly.

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I make the most of it I`m an extraordinary machine

I can understand why Sony decided to shelve it, but I don't agree. At all.

it's shelved indefinitely.

it may still come out.

i'd like to hear the rest of the album before i make any judgments.

personally, i see nothing wrong with it, but it's not single material.

I agree that it's not single material, but I don't consider Fiona a singles artists; in fact, I'm sure you don't either.

Grrrr... I've been waiting for five years! I'll have to pop in When the Pawn... later today.

The EM lyrics:

I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
and I certainly haven't been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot it's a slow climb
but I`m good at being uncomfortable so I can't stop changing all the time

I noticed that my opponent is always on the go
and won't go slow so as not to focus and I notice
he'll hitch a ride with any guide as long as they go fast from whence he came
but he's no good at being uncomfortable so he can't stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I make the most of it I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me doomed to clean my view and be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way
and say I've been getting along for long before you came into the play

I am the baby of the family
it happens so everybody cares
and wear the sheeps clothes while they chaperone
curious you're looking down your nose at me while you appease
curteous to try and help but let me set your mind at ease

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I make the most of it I`m an extraordinary machine

Do I so worry you?
Do I need to hurry to say it's very kind
but it's to no avail
I don't want the veil of flowers to
no everything will be just fine

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me or treat me mean
I make the most of it I'm an extraordinary machine

The link nolonger works.....

What has Fiona been doing for the past few years, anyone know?

Damn, I didn't get to hear it!

They really need to put this album out and show all of these shitty Michelle Branch-like "artists" how it should be done.

Found another place to hear this cut. Nice. I think this shows just how limited the labels are when it comes to breaking new music that's not from a cookie cutter.

Sounds a little like a showtune or soundtrack song for a strange little romantic comedy-musical.

I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

I love this girl. I still listen to her last cd every week and I think she's hot .Something about her and those eyes. Her voice makes me wanna drink of straight bourbon and kiss her long and hard.

When's the cd coming out! She should sell it out the trunk of her car - I'd buy one!
