I feel she is one of the most profound, creative, innovative artists of our day. Her songs were some of the only things that helped me get through depressing times in college. It's great to great that she has been a light to you wonderful people in the world. I'm thankful I discovered her music including this favorite of mine. Good vibes to her and to everyone. It's awesome.

I accidentally wrote "it's great to great" on my other post, but if this were a real phrase, contextually, I could say this to mean listening to her songs leads from one great occurrence to another, exponentially helping people find hope and happiness in life. Her music causes a chain reaction of beautiful moments. and I can attest to this. best of luck to her and to everyone. ~riss g

It's rare when you see someone who lives the music. What I mean by that is, when you see her play/sing it's impossible to think that she's anywhere but in the song. If she's thinking of anything at all during performance, she's great at not showing it. It's got to be a natural gift to *be* the performance.

Nellie McKay wrote "Ding Dong", sir, and when she opened for BNL and Alanis Morrissette a couple years ago she prefaced this song with "This is a cheery little ditty about suicide."

Good song here. Queen also has a song about the death of a cat called "All Dead All Dead". Great song, although it's actually better if you listen to it NOT knowing it's just about a cat, but oh well.

did i say the stuff in the song was true? of course know that she isnt a boozer or on drugs. Don't u think i would have noticed if she looked like she was on drugs? or if she was dead? and who's to say every song is always fictional? How bout I look up 'song' in the dictionary, will I find the word fictional anywhere in the context? I love this song, and nellie mckay, they are of course both the best. I was just stating a fact about the song, my point of view. And im not trying to fight here.
