http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDHbc1IN8bE I love this song so much, one of all time faves, a tear jerker and a real haunting song, it's beautfiul and stunning and Cyndi's voice is so mesmerising in it! |

I find it so powerful because the 'death' comes so suddenly, and there are no maudlin references to death, dying or grief in the song. The lines "she left one night with just a nod/was lost from some back alley job" never fail to hit me in the throat - I wonder if the basis of the song is actually true? Even despite that, it is musically and vocally beautiful as you say.

It's awful how I've had a "Best of" compilation of Cyndi with Sally's Pigeons on it but never gave the song much chance. Thanks OP for giving me newfound love for that track.

Sallys pigeons is one of Cyndis best songs, so moving, Cyndi produced some cracking tunes in the 90s that were totally overlooked. Who let in the rain should have been massive and album tracks such as Product of Misery, Fall into your dreams etc still amaze me upon every listen.
