  • Even through the darkest phase
    Be it thick or thin
    Always someone marches brave
    Here beneath my skin

    And constant craving
    Has always been

    Maybe a great magnet pulls
    All souls towards truth
    Or maybe it is life itself
    Feeds wisdom to its youth

    And constant craving
    Has always been

    Craving
    Ah-ha
    Constant craving
    Has always been
    Has always been

    Constant craving
    Has always been
    Constant craving
    Has always been

    Craving
    Ah-ha
    Constant craving
    Has always been
    Has always been
    Has always been
    Has always been Writer/s: Benjamin Mink, Kathryn Dawn Lang

  • Tea from UkZabadak it reached #52 in 1992, but on re-release in 1993 it reached #15.

    I love KD vocals, and reading the deeper meaning makes it even more moving.
  • Camille from Toronto, OhOne of the most hauntingly beautiful songs with some of the most poetic lyrics ever:
    "Even through the darkest phase, be it thick or thin
    Always someone marches brave, here beneath my skin"
    The instrumentation of an accordion adds a melancholy, timeless sound to these simple yet profound words. k.d. lang's voice conveys the longing, the yearning.
  • Zabadak from London, EnglandThe single reached #52 in the UK
