PICTURES AND SENSITIVITIES
If you've been here before, you might have noticed I'm a big Missy Higgins fan, which reveals me as a sucker for a good lyric (hey Missy, congrats on this year's ARIA).

Well, talking about girls that can write and sing a great lyric, my American favourite Natalie Merchant has recently posted an interesting series of photographs on her site. They were shot on September 10th 2001 and were to be used as cover art on her then-upcoming album Motherland. In the post Natalie describes the circumstances of the shoot and why the pics and cover design were shelved by her record company. Check out the story here.

If you enjoy looking at the pics and listening to the song, you can see and hear another great version of it, this one performed by Irishman Christy Moore, here on youtube. You might also like to visit the unofficial Natalie fan site.
