man, this woman is continually brilliant. i've been playing and writing my own stuff for 25 yrs or so, and just when i think i've come up with something good I'll listen to something from Ani, and think "damn. i gotta go practice"
Love this .. only as beautiful as the gemstones from the earth you collect and try to better oneself in time to become beautiful and to know yourself 🙏💯💪
I love Ani's music in every version I've heard, but this age was about my introduction to Ani DiFranco. Hearing it again is transporting. She knows what she wants to say and hits it both musically and vocally. ...Those Lee Press-on Nails and Tape FTW.
Is there anything more beautiful than a radical human singing about deep truths?!? Add the context of the Philly Folk Festival, an artist in full bloom and at the peak of her observational, poetic, and performing powers and you find an inspiration that nourishes and emboldens me every time.
She's so beautiful! She's so cool n' real~ I grew up on her songs. xD She's awesomely vibrant and I dunno how to explain it she's tiny but she's like a BIG person at the same time. I've always wanted to be like her. x3 Yush! I love this song. ^^
regardless of politics: "youve got the hard cough of a chainsmoker, and youre at the arctic circle.. playing strip poker. and its getting colder and colder every time you lose." such a great image :)
you got the hard cough of a chainsmoker, and youre at the arctic circle , playing strippoker *laughing* I love that chick, best lyrics above anyone i can think of :) cohen is the only one close to giving her a run for the money
@deliciousmorton Hm, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. I did not say anything about money. I also don't know what you mean by, "How do ya go from Your Next Bold Move or Subdivision to Yes We Can?" I would need to know your interpretation of those songs and their differences to even understand what you're trying to infer.
Calm down... I actually like DiFranco, which is why I came to this site. My comment is absurd. It's called IRONY!!!!!! Hyperbole at best. Like, when Portlandia made fun of Eddie Vedder with an Ani DiFranco tattoo. Try not to be so sensitive and you'll see through things fine! Good luck!

wow i loveee this video. shes amazing.
Man! Chick blows my mind year after year. Only a month until she lands in anchorage. How the days drag.
This woman is just amazing - soooooo rare, I'm telling you, sooooo rare, a warm soul, she can play like no other ';-)
this is so cool, wish it was still like this.
ani is the best by far!!!! absolutely fantastic singer, lyricist & person.
Lucero
Now this is how I remember her :)
The "excuse me" at 1:56 scared the crap out of me
Erin M EVERY DAMN TIME
+Erin M Me too lol! And you even warned me ;)
Have to see her back home!!
Brilliance...

maybe she just has new and different stories to tell :) To quote Ani herself "we never see things changing, we always see them ending" (slide)

Thats my wife ♥Regardlesss.
@TonyBurke100 from me that was intended as a very big compliment to ani :)

@vivianmari It's not a competition, different strokes for different folks.
really, you think so? i think it's fairly riveting. the metaphors are pretty killer, too, but i'm a fan of poetry.
I really enjoy this song, though the lyrics make me a little depressed...
@deliciousmorton I hear you, friend. She's still fighting the good fight, just on the optimists side these days. She's got to evolve too, ya know?
@caleab27
It's easy to criticize when your voice sounds like nickleback.
i just like her. I don't understand those words that mean politics : )
how could you say that
u were? can you tell me when the show was? i woulda loved to see ani solo at this era...
Well oright then.
what is she saying in the beginning? i like to know, but i can't understand it :(
haha, i love it when her string slips way out of tune. she's so wonderful. :)
Gggggghhhaaaaaa.....
you ever think about writing music
coming of age during the plague
of reagan and bush
watching capitalism gun down democracy
it had this funny effect on me
i guess...
Ani's net worth is $5 million. Let that sink in.
.
I love to listen to her lyrics, and then reflect on the fact that she has a net worth of $5 million.
