I missed the Melissa Etheridge version too. Is it worth looking it up on iTunes or somewhere?
Janis and Melissa captured the essence of the song, as if someone just reached down their throat and yanked out ther heart. They both get the feel of rejection yet a compulsive attraction to victimizer. And then they challange them to one more time,the virtual moth to flame routine.

Faith Hill is a very tallented person but does not demonstrate that she has a clue as what she is singing. I used to say shoot her and put her out of her misery or my misery. Believe it or not Faith Hill put that song on the country charts.

Ok I hope I am getting a little interest in this tread because I'd love to read others takes on these songs. If not it will fall into digital oblivion.

Does anyone care to post a song? Please step up.
Thank you
