She has said that "St. Theresa" is about a prostitute that she would see standing out on the corner when she would look out her hotel window...That's what inspired her to write the song.

Of course. There are good songs, and then there are those that appeal to the mass market.

"Relish" is ... ( 2 months ago by gerelepo)
"Relish" is absolultely one of the most underrated albums of the 90's. Joan was nominated for Album of The Year, Record of The Year and Best New Artist that LP. This song, "Ladder" and even "One of Us" are fantastic songs that have aged well. I hope Joan makes another album as good as this one day beacause sadly the follow-up to "Relish" left a lot to be desired. But, her recent album "Pretty Little Stranger" on Vanguard had some of the best stuff she's recorded since these songs in 1996.

This is from the same artist that made "one of us"? A lil hard to believe...I liked her bit hit, it was catchy yet spiritual in a great way. I only wish her sounds was more in that direction...

How did such a heartfelt and haunting song about a drug addict turn into this? This music video will forever destroy the mental image I had of this song.

oooh yes...my mental image for this song was totally different from this video. I like the video, but it's not what I was seeing in my head. Always takes me by surprise to find out what someone else thought was the definitive version of what a song "means"...as if there could ever be such a thing!

i remember seeing a small clip from a black and white video for this song, any clues as to where i can find that?
You have to know ... ( 2 weeks ago by ImmortalSynn)
You have to know the background to understand it.
To Joan: "St. Theresa" was a crack addict woman that she knew. The woman was prone to hallucinations, but had a sweet personality when not high.
To everyone else: "St. Theresa" is THE actual St. Theresa.
....as such, the video has drug/hallucination references (goldfish and heartbeat strawberry) and also religious references (the real Saint was claimed to be able to levitate, and also felt that sheep were holy).
That help?
Because it ... ( 2 weeks ago by ImmortalSynn)
Because it cross-references religious symbolism concerning the REAL St.Theresa (e.g., levitation and lambs)....
....with drug symbolism references (e.g., heartbeat strawberry, goldfish, body turning into plants, etc) to Joan's drug addicted "friend" St.Theresa.
When you look at it from that perspective, it makes perfect sense. My favorite one is:
"Every STONE (i.e., crack rock) a story, like a Rosary"... perfect combo of symbolism. :)
Also, the woman at ... ( 2 weeks ago by ImmortalSynn)
Also, the woman at 2:48 is not Joan... but it's Joan's sister, Sarah.
The scene is not CGI, it's plastic and makeup.
Joan refused to sit in for the hours it took to put more and more of that on her skin (while taking pictures between each interval)... so they instead did her sister's hair up like her, and had Sarah stand in.
Just FYI :)

Hmm, funny-- then why would Joan herself say that during her VH1 special?
...or is it that you just don't have a clue what you're talking about? I wonder...

I agree...
I think the crap vid I made when I was 12 will endure the memory of this song.
Poor execution...

Im Catholic and that is a person pretending to be a saint so she must not be Catholic oh and God can do that.
