I first learned about this amazing voice through the Ten Club forum during my lurking years (2004-2010). I love the song called My Beloved Wife. Actually now that I'm thinking it again, Tigerlily is a masterpiece in its entirety.

Check out her last studio work (Leave Your Sleep), if you haven't already done it Mikalina. You're going to blown away. Brilliant album.

You would have to send in the song that makes me burst into tears.... :cry:

Those "old time" couples had a love that lasted a lifetime, - I'm not so sure about this generation.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. I just want to see you smile! :) You are so beautiful when you smile! :P Like in your avatar's picture. I just wanted to share with you quality music and one of my favourite Natalie Merchant's song. I have also shed some tears while I was listening to this song. Most of the times though, I have goosebumps. As far as your last statement is concerned, I couldn't agree more with you. Every time I listen to My Beloved Wife, I remember my late grandmother who stopped caring about herself after she lost her husband (my grandfather). She used to say that now that I'm lost my man I'm all alone. I have nothing left in the world for me. I want to die so I will be able to meet him up in the sky. Unfortunately, we lost her 10 years after my late grandfather passed away. But, it wasn't true because she had her children (including my father) and her grandchildren (including me) to help her to go through that. But, you probably already know that when you love someone and you loose him/her nothing in the whole world can replace him/her.
Ooh, yeah! All right!
