I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings forhim?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend
Where will his actions lead us then?
Althoug I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last

And will we ever end up together
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

    General Comment:i agree completely with miss l. i was so excited when the spec edt came out. and fiona was perfect for that song
    sally's song is filled the longing and gut-wrenching feelings of unrequited love. but what i love most is that she doesnt have any false illusions, she knows theres a slim to none chance that he would ever love her
    i watched the spec feat on the movie and they actually seriously considered cutting out that whole scene with sally singing because it was thought to be so long. that blew me away. how could they even have thought to not allow sally to explain how shes feeling, shes a pivital character, is she not?

    General Comment:I love how fiona apple re recorded this song . Her voice matches the song perfectly, kinda gloomy and gray. Its almost giving the feeling of never being happy again, but the song has a happy message.

    General Comment:the first unrequited love song I ever heard! she's on the outside of jack's world looking in, wishing she could reach him. I love the way it turns out to be requited in the end. a very touching song from a touching movie...

    General Comment:This song is one of the best on the movie! (I know there are so many!) But it reminds me of my ex boyfriend Mason. He loved this movie and now I feel like Sally ;( Ah, well, things turned out right in the end! "We're simply meant to be..."
