The song appears twice on the album as the first track and as a hidden track: a solo piano version following the last track “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy”.

from across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
memories trapped in time
The night is my companion

heh. I heard Evans Blue's cover of this before I heard the original. XD. I like this, though. It's more "haunting," I think.

I like songs that are deep, and songs that ring true emotionally, and songs that get right to what bites at the heart of our humanity. Possession is one of my favorites -Haunting and Beautiful !

I first heard this song during an episode of Due South (still miss that show) and made a point of watching the credits to see who sang it. Have loved Sarah ever since. That voice is amazing.

Hate to go against the crowd, but it's too much. I can't get a feel for this song at all. No beat. Too much music. Too harsh. Sorry.
