And I would have brought eggs ( with yolks broken and little smiley faces) and pancakes and maple syrup and a wreath made from Dandelions and of course a big *hig* from all the Everyday Angels! >However, I'm a firm believer that songs can exist on many levels.

When a song can be taken different ways, and the meaning(s) aren't always clear, I'm intrigued. This is probably (one of the many reasons) why I like Tori so much. Her songs are very open to different interpretations. >Oh, and the song is on the tapes that are being treed, in a different >form, of course. Cool!

I think that Bjork is awesome and cooky at the same time. I dhave as yet to get an albumn by her but intend on it. And I've seen Jewel in concert and own "Pieces of You". So, there ya go. I'm one person who likes all of them and more. I.E. Sarah McLachlan. ------------------------------ From: ChasJKfan@aol.com Date: Sun, 11 Feb 1996 23:43:36 -0500 Subject: Re: Good Morning America!!
