I always thought it was "hard hard places!" Ignorant I am. But why is it so great? It's the "smoke and ash". She just sounds so *passionate* about it - bitter, but passionate - "I've seen a few things, and I've seen a few dreams gone sour, and I've had to accept it; but man, it churns me up inside". And I thought it was just me that was so enraptured by this bit of the song! I tell you, I could get to like this Internet thingummy.....
