Musically and especially lyrically it gives me so much. I love how, at one hand, she can make you dwell into your sadness but, on the other hand, also give hope and comfort you in one and the same song.
I mean, "Go Long", holy shit.
"
Who made you this way?
Who made you this way?
Who is going to bear your beautiful children?
Do you think you can just stop,
when you're ready for a change?
Who will take care of you
when you're old and dying?
You burn in the Mekong,
to prove your worth,
Go Long! Go Long!
Right over the edge of the earth!
You have been wronged,
tore up since birth.
You have done harm.
Others have done worse.
Will you tuck your shirt?
Will you leave it loose?
You are badly hurt.
You're a silly goose."
Oh, my poor heart.
I wish I had better memories of seeing her live at the Jeff Mangum ATP... But it's all mush in my head.
