mother daughter song
I was fascinated to think about a place where men could be the mothers and I thought of my own song-writing and I decided to have a relationship with their daughters.
daughter mother song
Operation Peter Pan spanned from 1960-62 whereby over 14,000 children were sent away from their families in Cuba, some never to reunite again. Pan Am flights took the children to Miami FL, 'Never-Never Land', and the children became known as the 'Peter Pans.' I wrote this song for my daughter, and it is sung for all the daughters and mothers, fathers and brothers who felt this pain of separation all because of governments and their politics.
daughter nursing whales
I wanted to do something creatively, having been a beached whale for many months and nursing my daughter.
daughter play people
The fact that religion plays such a part in how people vote troubles me, troubles me as a minister's daughter. Because I always felt that the separation of church and state was what our forefathers and foremothers really fought for.
daughter dark ice
I'm a daughter of a minister and I love chasing the Dark. That which is hidden. I like licking it like ice cream
asking life means needing people stories word
The word 'confession,' to me, means needing to be absolved, ... I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm not asking people to understand. I'd like to think that I tell stories and sometimes my life weaves through it.
build great touch wall
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you, how can I when you build a great wall around you.
matt talk
I think musically, if you talk to (drummer) Matt Chamberlain, he'll tell you it's really complicated rhythmically.
lose piece vegetarian
When it's all said and done we will lose a piece to a carnivorous vegetarian
barefoot chicken fried involve piece
I have my own parties. They involve being barefoot with a piece of fried chicken and margarita in each hand.
acquired control everybody hairy potato taste wants
You can't control your popularity; I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go a lot more places, but I'm not.
bread garlic mushroom pasta
It makes me think of mushroom pasta with dripping garlic bread and butter, not margarine, no margarine on this record, it's all butter.
dark horses mean
It's as if the horses have come to take us back, to descend, to find the dark side. By dark I mean what's hidden, not necessarily satanic.
derivative slightly
A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
