Last summer, as I put my life on self destruct and walked thru that glass wall, after we sold our family home where we raised five kids for the past 18 years, I used to go to sleep in my parent's empty house- my childhood home since I was 7- as we were trying to sell it also, to pay for my mother' nursing home bills - my father having died last Christmas, on that mattress on the floor in my brother's old room in the heat with the window open and a small fan on me - with threats and verbal abuse coming from my ex on the answering machine and messages thru the kids- and I used to go to sleep with Ferron playing on the Cd player next to me- she was just like therapy- something about that soothing voice and lyrics- altho I can't really say just what most of the songs were about- generally I would say they were relationship songs, and not such successful relationships at that- I could identify! Many lyric phrases are just so touching and she wears her heart on her sleeve. She seems so accessible. In concert she is very likable- her face krinkles up into smiles- she is something of a clown- and I know I would really enjoy knowing her, given the chance. We listened to a few songs in the car on the way home, and I went in with tears- she just gets me right there. I am coming thru the other side of that wall to a new life here with Masaki. Something like a phoenix. Rising up again from the ashes. I guess I am mostly sharing this with you all, my cyberlist friends- in case she might get you right there also- You should try to give her a listen.

She thought she loved this guy, but turns out he broke her heart in some way. The fact that he never got within "100 million miles of her soul" consoles her a little, but tonight she just feels the pain (and pleasure) of the relationship. My 2 cents - -Sharyn ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 06 Nov 1999 07:29:58 -0600 From: "LouAnn Muhm" Subject: Re: MM: Every Little Bit At the risk of being overly revealing, here's what I see in the song: There was a lover in the past (the ghost) that she tried to get over by starting a new relationship. In that new relationship, she is still unable to escape the memories of the old lost love and they well up and overtake her sometimes ("Tonight I clearly recall every little bit"). Ultimately, the new love figured out that she wasn't really present in the relationship, and left ("reality fired her wooden bullet, splintered under our skin....I still don't blame you for leaving, it's cold living with ghosts"). She is angry with the guy on one level ("never got within a hundred million miles of my soul"), but is also angry with herself for the self-destructiveness of continuing to live with the ghosts ("tear at my heart and scatter the bits," etc.) Here ends the gospel lesson.
