she had tiny Italian boobs.
Well that's my story.
This song was from the same album, decidedly less of that 90s Top 40 sound:

It's shocking that a 19-year-old man wasn't the target demographic for Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn."

I know, right?

Full disclosure: I wouldn't have listened to it if I was a lot younger at the time, either.

I liked the song enough to buy the CD (back in ye olde tymes when you couldn't like, buy individual MP3s or stream) and there were several other songs even better like

So overall the song led to a satisfactory purchase.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The waif thing was totally a thing in the 90's. You weren't nothin' if you weren't waif. Waif world. Waif.
It's crazy knowing JLo was some kind of watershed figure with the idea that women could have curves.
But Waif was an improvement. Remember Heroin Chic?
Not to be confused with Duncan Sheik.

This one weirds me out now, because the two in in the image are always holding hands and rubbing up against each other and generally acting like they gently caress, and then I found out a few years ago they're brother and sister.

When I was a kid I thought her MTV speech was dumb ungrateful poo poo (like don't attend the show if it's so bad). Now I'm kind of sad she basically got blacklisted following When the Pawn...

Vv
Yep. That's the one. Looking back I, for some reason, thought she said "This is bullshit" instead of "This world".
Clip is so 90s Gen X it made flannel spontaneously appear around my waist (waifst)

Oh man...

I didn't prepare a speech and I'm sorry but I'm glad I didn't because I'm not gonna do this like everybody else does it. 'Cause everybody that I should be thanking - I'm really sorry - but I have to use this time. See, Maya Angelou said that we, as human beings, at our best, can only create opportunities. And I'm gonna use this opportunity the way that I want to use it.

So, what I want to say is - um, everybody out there that's watching, everybody that's watching this world? This world is bullshit. And you shouldn’t model your life — wait a second — you shouldn’t model your life about what you think that we think is cool and what we’re wearing and what we’re saying and everything. Go with yourself. Go with yourself.

And there's just a few people that I want to say something to. I want to say, Mama, I love you I'm so glad that we're becoming friends.Amber, you're my sister, you're my best friend.Andrew Slater - no one else could have produced this album, and no one else did.Um...

And it's just stupid that I'm in this world, but you're all very cool to me so thank you very much. And I'm sorry for all the people that I didn't thank, but man...it's good. Bye.

It is a well crafted song, fantastic use of melodies and restraint in mixing as everything is kinda softer sounding but still cuts through.
It's not overdone, it is not underdone, it's just right.

And it had real instruments.

When she says she is torn she is referring to her hymen, both metaphorically and literally.

Yeah, I mean, it's funny but hers was something like the tenth time someone tried to release that song, and prior to that it never had any real success. I was accidentally at a Ted talk about exactly this phenomenon once.

Tidal is okay overall but Idler Wheel is one of the best albums I've ever heard. That's what you should be mad about.

Oh I am, plus extraordinary machine is extremely good just look up any of her live performances of the title track. She just doesn't belong in the Natalie Imbruglia gbs thread really.
