Beautiful through and through; no flaws here
This album, in my opinion, is best carried by songs like "I Do" and "Falling In Love," which have sunny guitars and her most cheerful, upbeat singing, but even dark, brooding selections like "Furious Rose" and "Jake," are beautifully written and sang with sincere, lilting angst. A fine singer-songwriter with a sweet, candy-coated voice that belies the 29 years old that she was when she made this album, Lisa Loeb first hit big with the song "Stay" from her 1995 album "Tails," and established herself as a talented and heartfelt lyricist. .


"Your life is built on accidents - like meeting me..."
Loeb has a beautiful and rich voice, her lyrics are poetic and haunting. Lisa Loeb's second album, Firecracker has 12 great tracks but some of the songs took awhile to grow on me but songs I loved right away include: Falling in Love, Jake, I Do, Let's Forget About It, Truthfully, Furious Rose,This and How. From the song Falling in Love, "The gray sky was romantic 'cause he was holding her hand, he was her man, the time between meeting and finally leaving is sometimes called falling in love. " The title-track gives me the chills, the chorus is amazing. Truthfully is such a gentle and sweet song, so much better than I thought it was, "You showed up with your parachute. . . " If you like deep, meaningful, and poetry-like lyrics then Firecracker is for you. .


One of my favs
This is one of the best CDs I've ever purchased. I'm gonna be quick about this. I have never found myself wanting to skip a single song on this CD. I find myself singing these songs all the time. The best part about this album is that it goes from the boppy "I Do" to the soulfull "Jake" and never misses a beat. I listen to this CD at work anytime I have a hectic day. Lisa sings to me and it just soothes me. I suggest this for most anyone. Great CD!.


FIRECRACKER
It is perfect, brilliant and captivating. I don't know of a more beautiful song than Lisa Loeb's 'How'. I love every inch of it. "Firecracker" is Lisa's second album and it does a great job. Some of the songs I don't see fit for this album but most of the songs do the CD justice. I love Lisa's vocals and acoustic sound. The opener 'I Do' is also an amazing song, especially for an opener.


wrong choice
Wrong choice ! I also gave Lisa a chance because of her new Dweezil & Lisa cooking show and I thought she seemed perky & cute and felt that she probably had music nice to listen to. I bought this album and also TAILS on the strength of the reviews included on the page. First . . her albums are not for the over 50 crowd, which I belong to. Second . . every song seemed to be filled with pessimism and doubt and other depressing themes. The tunes were for the most part pleasant. Change the lyrics Lisa ! We all wanna be happy not saddened.
