i saw Amanda in Melbourne 3 weeks ago. to anyone reading this, please, GO AND SEE HER. even my dad is still singing this song.

Amanda said she wrote it about a man going mad with a gun in America a few years ago.

This is creepy... the day she went into the studio to record it, the newspaper headlines were all abotu the Virginia Tech massacre. 3 days before she came to Australia for the tour, a man went on a shooting rampage in an American mall.

also notable was a couple in the front row at this show, who cried the whole way through this song.

and may i say i don't blame them.

I was one of the people in Melbourne crying...

A lot of us cried, her singing combined with the Danger Ensemble was pretty moving.

If you've ever lost anyone to violence you'll understand just how chilling the feeling of 'tick tick tick' is, waiting in a hospital to see if someone is okay and the only thing you can hear is 'tick tick tick' from the clock.
