The song first made the charts in 1992, and won her the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1993 and an MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video. The Rolling Stones used a refrain very similar to that of \"Constant Craving\" in their 1997 single \"Anybody Seen My Baby?\" They later gave writing credits on that song to k.d. lang and Mink, shared with the original authors Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. <br><br>The music video was filmed in black-and-white. It presents a fanciful recreation of the premiere of Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot in Paris, 1953. Here, she is depicted singing backstage while the actors perform. The director, Mark Romanek, says the song's lyrics of desperation and waiting fit well with the themes of Beckett's play. Much to Lang's surprise, the video won Best Female Video at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards. https://bit.ly/2xhB2Dk www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXqPjx94YMg", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
