We were talking about what the song might mean (she has a different interpretation than I do), I Googled it and landed here on your blog. Just wanted to comment that what you said about Amos not yet having a quintessential album isn't entirely accurate. I find that most albums only have 3 to 5 good songs on them, no matter who the artist may be. I think Mission Bell IS his quintessential album, so far. The problem (if you want to call it that) is that Amos is very difficult to pigeon-hole as an artist and musician. Windows are Rolled Down has probably enjoyed the most air play but isn't indicative of the majority of his catalog. I think his lyrics have so much depth they don't always lend themselves to what the masses want to hear on a regular basis. And that's okay with me. Amos is like the secret handshake of true music lovers. I only hope he can earn enough money to continue doing exactly what he's doing without caving in to the pressures of "pop music". Thanks for your observations on Amos, and "Violin"! Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361733984595912951noreply@blogger.com
