Constant Craving Lyrics

Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin

Constant craving
Has always been

Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
That feeds wisdom
To its youth

Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been

Constant craving
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been

K.D. Lang is not one of my favorite singers nor do I particularly like much of her music myself, but I think she is extremely gifted.

However I find this song absolutely stunning and I never tire of it. The wonderfully lilting acoustic guitar and the rapturous, crytral clear harmonies put this song in its own catagory.

Her choice of the word "craving" and my general sense of the song makes me intrepret our "constant craving" very broadly, both good and bad "cravings". Basically it sums up all our desires. Be it lust, greed, worth, value, acceptance, impact, legacy, excitement, power, meaning, connection with God and others - our desires are powerful, all encompasing, universal and mostly go unsated. She understands what it is to be human.

@reasondethroned that's really uncanny because I absolutely feel the exact way. this is the only lang song I know ,but I love it, my music is british prog rock to the nTH degree ,thank u 4 sharing

This album convinced me that k.d. lang should be billed as the best female vocalist of our time. Because she is not mainstream society, unfortunately she will never get the acclaim that she deserves. I saw her in concert in 2000 at Star Lake Ampitheater and she has a fabulously warm and funloving personality on stage.

@cos Just became aware of this by chance turning the FM Radio to test some speakers... Had never heard of this before... The magic of radio, it never ceases to amaze, even in 2021...

I agree...its such a shame that people are so fucking narrow minded these days if she looked like sheryl crow or something like that and was as straight as a ruler...

Agreed whole heartedly.........K.D. Lang Is a Gun!! In Australia we say that....means shes awesome lol. When the world learns that sexual orientation is not something to judge character by the world will be a better place

For me this song expresses craving about truth, in a phylosophycal way. Its like a mysterious need that humanity has been having through all history. K.D. Lang is one of my favorite musicians and i really admire her beautifull style of singing and songwriting.

im agree she has a beautiful and amazing voice, its really sad that people prefers beauty over talent, i heard her singing "crying" and i was overwelmed.

And its also truth thatevery one its beautiful in its own personal way. Even thoug i think its better that she stayed underground, as way of speaking, cause the peolpe who reach her music is cause, they apreciate it.

And that is even better that been in every radio station, cause most of the pop singers and stuff, are seasonal, when you are tired of the same stuff, you ussaly goes where the talen is, so is just a mmater of tie, most of the time.

Search kd lang olympics~

you will be bowled over~

she is simply stunning, unappreciated, amazing, and so deep that no one in the "industry" will ever have the right to even approach her...

kd~ the universe knows & understands you, & through that, you do have some who grasp your work,

My Interpretation

I fully agree...

I find her to be a very lovely woman. I don't know much about her at all but do you really have to know someone to know how lovely they are? Just listen to her music, to her unique voice, and you'll find a powerful beauty there. America is shallow and narrowminded, yes. They're all like "Oh you're gay? You're not beautiful because you're gay. Oh you aren't tall and thin and lean-muscled and buried beneathe good makeup and fashion? Oh dear, you're not beautiful."

When can they stop judging a woman's true beauty based on her appearance and sexual orientation and "abnormalities"? Beauty is the soul. And KD Lang is beautiful. Just listen to her and hear what she has to say.

♥ly song! i dont really care if she's gay but her voice and the meaning behind her songs are incredible.

song reminds me of that line from keats 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,–that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know

Not Valid

firstly - stunning song, very dark, very beautiful, very powerful.

secondly - i agree with what you're all saying about how she's one of the best female songwriters with the most beautiful voice, and yet just because she's gay, and doesn't have the perfect 'feminine' image, she's no way near as highly regarded as she should be. it's so sad.

madonna on k.d. lang: "elvis is alive. and she's beautiful."
