LOL :-) I have this problem too, in that I like to listen to it right before I go off to bed (whenever that might be :) ). It's best if you shut the lights off and turn it up real loud, but my neighbours tend to not like that... >Steve).

Apologies in advance for presuming Sarah to be a certain kind of person, but I don't think this is something she would deny -- I feel as though she's very much someone who thinks a lot about things, people and feelings, but at the same time, she adds a slight touch of humour to things. Take "Angel", for instance. The subject matter is something that could be treated as a serious matter -- the trivialization of religion and religious beliefs, both by non-religious people, *and* by religious people -- but Sarah deals with it in a satirical way. (I _love_ the lyrics that go "I chained my angel to the eavestrough/It was November and I think I pissed him off/He's mad, but I don't care/He's my angel, so there" :) ) Of course, that's just my interpretation.
