I do like Surfacing, but obviously the ubiquity of some songs makes overcoming them a little harder. That said, "Building a Mystery" is one of her best melodies outside of FTE.

Possession always kills me, i think there's a sense via the performance that there's something gauzier about the song but there is a real nightmare at the heart of it.
Into this night I wander,It's morning that I dread,Another day of knowing ofThe path I fear to tread,Oh, into the sea of waking dreamsI follow without pride,Nothing stands between us hereAnd I won't be deniedAnd I would be the oneTo hold you downKiss you so hardI'll take your breath awayAnd after I'd, wipe away the tearsJust close your eyes dear
And I would be the oneTo hold you downKiss you so hardI'll take your breath awayAnd after I'd, wipe away the tearsJust close your eyes dear
the song is heard so frequently that it's probably underrated as a horror story.

the story of how that song was written and then the consequences are even scarier to me

Surfacing is a good album but one of the unintended consequences of its success was to obscure just how dark about two thirds of Fumbling Towards Ecstasy was.

I only listened 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy' two years ago and it was such a blessing.
