Unknown Contributor Roles: Michael Brook; Brian Eno. Jane Siberry's last album during a five-year critically-applauded but commercially-negligible tenure with Reprise Records, 1993's WHEN I WAS A BOY trades the optimistic loveliness of albums like THE WALKING and BOUND BY THE BEAUTY for a darker, occasionally bleak meditation on love and loss. Inspired by the recent death of her father, Siberry has constructed a song cycle with little of the exhibitionistic mawkishness of, say, Sinead O'Connor's I DO NOT WANT WHAT I HAVEN'T GOT. Instead, Siberry's lyrics are more general and poetic, which makes their emotional heft that much greater. The heartbreaking "The Vigil (The Sea)" and the cathartic and uplifting "Love Is Everything"--here in two versions--are as powerful and musically breathtaking as any pop music dealing with the subject of death.
