Issa(pronounced eeee-sah) (formerly known as Jane Siberry, born October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario) is most famous for her early 1980s new wave hits such as "Mimi on the Beach", "I Muse Aloud" and "One More Colour". Internationally, she is best known for her 1993 album When I Was a Boy.Following the commercial failure of her 1995 album Maria, Siberry founded her own independent label, Sheeba Records. She has released all of her subsequent material on that label. Her public profile has been lower since she became an independent artist; however, she retains a devoted cult following. Early in 2006, she closed her Sheeba office, then sold and gave away nearly all of her possessions -- including her home and instruments.

Last Word Lyrics

Jane Siberry

In the beginning there was the word.
And the word was sent through
a thousand different telephone lines
and became garbled and distorted.

And so began the long process of sorting out
the wheat from the chaff
the milk from the whey
the truth from the lies
the night from the day.

Xylem and Phloem.
Flotsam and Jetsam.
David and Goliath.
Donner and Blitzen.

In the end there was still the word
Was it still the same word?
