The first time I heard it the band was playing in a busy bar/restaurant in front of a crowd that could not exactly be described as riveted (not any fault of the band's - it was just the nature of the venue). When Tracie hit her powerful "MAY-BE I," there was this collective "whaaa?" and looking around from the patrons. A little hush fell over the place. Well, a hush aside from Tracie's kick-ass wailing out. An unrelated note: it was this song that finally made me confront my serious and chronic problem of totally failing to pay attention to any but a song's most prominent lyrics. I pretty much only ever absorbed the chorus, so I thought it was about a person who didn't actually feel that bad about a recent breakup. I am now wondering how many other songs are about the opposite of what I thought. When Tracie hits the chorus on this song, it makes everything else STOP.
