    My mom used to tell me this was my song. I was born 3 months premature and ended up having a brain hemorrhage and getting Cerebral Palsy as a result. I didn't really understand why she was telling me this was my song until recently. Here I am, with spastic Diplegic CP & halfway to nursing school with a 93.4% score on my entrance test. I'm going to be a NICU nurse :)

      I've been playing guitar for almost 40 years and when I heard this song back when it was released I thought to myself, wow, that is some great guitar playing. But I didn't know the guitarist's name until many years later.
      As much as I like this particular song, its not as though Natalie Merchant was taking the music scene by storm and releasing a bunch of songs that were being played everywhere. It's folk-type music, except this song.

      ​@stricknine8623 a couple things: 1. NO, it was not just this song. Listen to Jen on Carnival, among others 2. "Underrated" literally refers to how the public rates you, not how musicians rate you. Musicians have always rated extremely talented people that were undersold by the mainstream media/critics much higher than the mainstream. When people say Jen is underrated, what they're saying is people will put Kurt Cobain as one of the best guitarists of the 90's, yet won't even recognize Jen in the top 100, which she OBVIOUSLY deserves to be
