God 27 years later this song is still and will be forever beautiful. Sarah really has a unique and beautiful voice and lovely face.

I was at this show; my second time seeing her, and she and her band totally floored me both times. Those songs, and absolutely perfect weather that night. thanks for sharing the videos!

A sad and beautiful song.. but in the end, it sounds like it was a man who most likely experienced the real heartache.. of course, Sarah is brilliant and beautiful woman, and a national hero.

I love her! Perfect voice and good human

Comforting then and comfortable now as a 40 plus woman. Thank you sister Sarah 👑🥲💖 me and my adia will probably never have that one on one talk….. it’s been over 20 years and it still hurts but I know it’s for the best……❤

[ericvanvlandren]

Bless you Sarah, for all the wonderful music you have given us. And especially for this absolutely transcendent song. ❤️

We saw here in 2003 in Orlando, and it was probably one of the best shows we have ever seen. Awesome artist.

I love her. What a champ for powering through. Most fenale musiciand now dont even sing and have their song in the background haha

Saw her in Wilmington, NC about 5 years ago. Her candid sharing with us in between her amazing and hauntingly beautiful songs made for a magical night. She is truly a treasure…thank you Canada for sharing her with us!

Wow, the candid admissions of the "crossed-the-line story" are so genuine Sarah. I love that she holds nothing back. And I love the "attitude" and sisterhood of "who needs men but for children". Normally, I would not advocate for fatherless raising of children, especially with sons, but in the case of Sarah, I think that her motherly love of her daughters will result in women of excellence, much like Sarah's music school produces young people ready to enter adulthood with confidence and a drive for success.

I love Sarah and this song. I have waited 30 years for an explanation that could make sense of this song. In the past, she has said, "it was for a friend who needed uplifting" (paraphrased drastically) but the story never matched the lyrics. Thank you for capturing the true meaning for us curious minds! I absolutely am not judging; as I have also done some pretty messed up crap when I was young. However, can someone explain to me the mentality of a song that is an apology, yet saying "it doesn't matter" and "we were born innocent"? Also, it's not "easy to falter" against a best friend "but it doesn't matter". This song made me weep, still, today hearing it along with the explanation....but seems to lack responsibility and accountability (isn't that kind of the point of the song?). "There's no one left to finger; there's no one here to blame"?

Sorry for the diatribe...but I've waited years.

Its amazing what tinlme can do. Iblove the original version of this song. But, this is son much more powerful.

Loved the story! Bummer that she's having to sing through that smoke.
