Song of the Week #22

This is an interesting choice - an artist whose albums are critically and universally acclaimed, but who I just don't get.  I think her songs (at least the older ones) sound like a female Ben Folds Five.  I also think that her strength is lyrics, but of all the things that go into a good song I think melody, a beat and bass are more important to me.  I've listened to a few of her tracks now, and sometimes I like her voice - like in the choice below - but sometimes I don't.  I think maybe she might grow on me the more I listen to her - but I don't have the patience for that.  Very confusing.
