Oh lover hold on 'till I come back again
For these arms are growing tired
And my tales are wearing thin
If you're patient I will surprise
When you wake up I'll have come
All the ache will settle down
And we'll go do all the things we should have done
Yes, I remember what we said as we lay down to bed
I'll be here if you would only come back home
Oh lover I'm lost
Because the road I've chosen beckons me away
Oh lover don't you roam
Now I'm fighting words I never thought I'd say
But I remember what we said as we lay down to bed
I'll forgive you if you'll just come back home
hmmm mmmm
hmmmm mmmm
Oh lover I know
You'll be out there and be thinking just of me
And I will find you down the road
We'll return back home to where we're meant to be
'Cause I remember what we said as we lay down to bed
We'll be back soon as we make history

虽然非主流或独立摇滚圈近年来也总是不乏有这样那样的女新人登场亮相，但听过Tori Amos这样内外兼修之精彩音乐的人们，恐怕在拨高胃口之后也都暗自立下了一个新标准，在这种心态下，试问只是唱些中性摇滚口水歌的新人又如何能再过五关斩六将，成为数年后的又一位独立女皇呢？
在无法超越的情况下，至少要让人看到希望，而2004年冒出的新人Rachael Yamagata就用她的首张大碟《Happenstance》展现了这种潜质。父亲是日本移民，母亲是德国、意大利混血，身兼三种血液的Rachael Yamagata从一出生起，就要比旁人多了一种博大精深的文化优势，山形瑞秋的日本名字或许还只是一种风雅，但骨子里那种东方式神经质的线条，却注定了她与同类女歌手竞争时的先天优势，有Yoko Ono做为榜样，一切早已说明。
尽管19岁就加入芝加哥的Funk乐团Bumpus，但Rachael Yamagata多元化的性格里却显然无法容忍被限制于一种音乐风格的拘束里，对她曲风有影响的倒是她和乐团吉它手男友的分手，使她以更感性化的情爱刺激为基础引导出自己的音乐走向。
