I don't especially like Annie Lennox's post-Eurythmics music. But I always thought this was an excellent song.
I really like the classical melody and the video complemented it very well.

This is one of my favorite Annie Lennox songs. I just loved her vocals and the lyrics were so deep.

Was this more a HAC chart hit or did pop play it? Z100 looks to have never added it, or they just didnt include it on their playlists or year end countdowns.

I LOVE this song! Annie is one of the great white soul vocalists IMO.
And if you're trying to cut me down
You know that I might bleed
Cause if you're trying to cut me down
I know that you'll succeed
And if you want to hurt me
There's nothing left to fear
Cause if you want to hurt me
You're doing really well my dear

On Billboard, it peaked at #3 on Mainstream Top 40, #6 on AC, and #7 on Modern Rock (aka Alternative). Hot AC was still a few years from getting its own chart.
I just saw the video on YouTube recently. The video features two actors who would later become very well-known and loved by fans: John Malkovich (Con Air, In The Line Of Fire) and Hugh Laurie (House - one of my current favorites on TV).

I liked this song at first, but now think it's very annoying. I guess its overplay killed the song for me.

An excellently constructed pop song. The use of the harpsichord and string section made this sound like a baroque-pop dance song. It has an incredibly infectious melody too, and of course, wonderfully soulful vocals from Annie.
Its Hot 100 peak (#14) is kind of misleading. The song went to #5 CHR/Pop, #6 Adult Contemporary and #7 Alternative. That really demonstrates how much Alternative radio has changed in the past 20 years.
Sophie Muller provided this song with an excellent visual, and the video is also notable for featuring a pre-House Hugh Laurie.

I really enjoy it- the three singles from Diva were all pretty strong.
