    "I have to be honest with you. I was never a Senna fan. I always thought Gille Villeneuve was the greatest racing driver of them all. But to make this film, i've had to watch hours and hours of footage. And the thing is...Villeneuve was spectacular on a number of occasions...Senna, he was spectacular every single time he got in a car..."

    I am over 60y.o. and have the past few days just heard Bat for Lashes and I feel very
    humbled by the sheer brilliant sound and power of all her singing.
    The last 50 years has produced a multitude of really wonderful artists,but this woman`s talents are the best I have seen and heard.
    I just hope she doesn`t flood the market too much. Stay special!!!

    • @coolnhlfan1
      @coolnhlfan1 6 років тому +5

      Harriet Jackson I dont think so, Women are expected to be carekeepers, cook, watch the house, the children, and keep their legs closed in the process. Men are out to work (whatever that is) through that entire time. If war happens men are out to fight that war. Though in a modern society men don't need to prove themselves as much since there isn't as many challenges as there used to be. Back when people built their own homes, worked their farms, Women wouldn't be able to do that on their own, the society we live today wouldn't exist without men. So how the hell is this unfair.

    • @nicolashenriques3598

  • @kiiwiifuzzzz
    @kiiwiifuzzzz 10 років тому +24

    i think this is a song about wanting to make her loved one (boyfriend) happy. until this inevitable feeling comes along in her that makes her feel the need to destroy and sabotage the relationship. and she knows it wont be long until her someone gets sick of it and leaves for good. but she doesnt want to make him unhappy, remember. she wants to make him happy and proud and with her. so she will always see her faults and start over. try not to let him down. well, till the siren comes.
