You're absolutely right. I meant it as descriptive & not literal. I described it that way for effect. She's using 'conceal' as you would use the word 'concealment' in meaning. I realized after I pressed send that I should've stated that. In this context, it is a verb. Not digressively, I want to mention that I might rest on this song as my absolute favorite. I LOVE her words of encouragement here 'you've got to shake your fist at lightening now....'

Vinyl surface noise and the pops make for an incredibly warm play. It's just such a hassle to flip the damn things and keep them dusted. I kind of resent iTunes for destroying the culture around records or even CDs for that matter but digital is just so convenient. It has put me off discovering new music for awhile.
