The Blower's Daughter

I once put "And so it is." as my MSN nick and Cindy started a conversation with me, telling me that my nick is one of the lines for Damien Rice's The Blower's Daughter.
A thoroughly nice song. Would like to put the song up here but I haven't found another host to upload it to and I haven't learnt how to put an audio clip up here. Plus after quite an irritating experience on Siu Hang's blog where the song never got past the first paragraph... =P Ok, so maybe I don't have the patience to wait for the song to load, but it just plays halfway and then it kinda fades off like that.
Actually it doesn't fade off, it sto-






-ops in the middle and then continues after half a minute or so of pause.
Wait, why am I writing so much on that audio clip?!
So here's the song The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice. Anybody recommends any host?

The Blower's Daughter

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

Some neighbour is cooking a marvellous meal, I can smell it! Happy Lunar New Year everybody! Time for reunion dinner!

err... not my fault that the host is slow or something right?? It works such that it loads while it plays, so if the playing speed is faster than the loading speed then it won't load in time to be played. Anyway that Dolly Parton clip is not full song, only 1 minute plus... I knew the problem that's why I included the link to Whitney Houston's version. Come on, old songs are hard to find. But oldies are goodies.
