Let It Begin....
by "twilightborn" Burnsville, MN United States
Reviewed on December 30th, 2000
I stumbled across this cd quite by accident. There she was, this waiflike creature with wild hair. Looked intriguing, vaguely familiar, and I was compelled to buy it. I was floored. I had no idea Amanda Marshall was so talented (such a mighty voice!). I'd heard a song or two by her before, and then remembered I'll Believe In You from Touched By An Angel. It's rare that I find an entire album to enjoy on continuous play. Every song on Tuesday's Child is a new twist on the theme of intense feeling in all its forms, whether it be the anguish of missed opportunity (Too Little, Too Late) a lover's indifference (Why Don't You Love Me?) or the gratitude of finding your other half (If I Didn't Have You). When she's ecstatic, I find myself happily singing along, and when she's dejected, the tears stream for her. Amanda vividly articulates what (most) everyone has felt, rhyming in never faltering meter, and gives us this intricate gift, entwining her seductive voice around the music. Track 13, Out of Bounds, is particularly haunting, and one can almost feel the darkness swirling around the ankles, pulling, tugging. Find a deserted stretch of interstate, play this one at full force, with the top down, at about 110 or so. "Standing on the edge of time, Playing out a reckless pantomime, And every day's another wrong to rectify. I dream about a stranger's touch, And voices in my head I cannot hush, And every night's a hunger I can't satisfy... It's the secret that I keep, It's the ache that makes me weep, And I know I'm in too deep, I'm gonna drown..."
