Now go away. And who was that who said that I was a curmudgeon? Musta been that tracyr chick. I knew no good could come from antagonizing her!

Now go away. Well, I for one found these lyrics very moving. That certainly relates them to gaffa. I've always felt that one's emotional response to (and the emotional content of) Kate's music is just as important as the technical complexities and many allusions woven into Her songs. Of course, these technical complexities are part of what makes Her compositions beautiful and passionate, and are some of the tools that She uses to create Her tapestries. However, I think it important that one not lose sight of the feelings behind them. The posted lyrics weren't written by Kate (and may or may not have been a result of the same technical acumen), but they were certainly Kate-related in their emotional content. In a sense, they may even be said to be Kate- inspired, since Kate is God, and all artists need a Muse... mark semich mas@bucsf.bu.edu
