I did have a similar experience regarding Julie Miller's song, "Broken Things," which I first heard and enjoyed when Lucy covered it. When I first heard it, Lucy sang (and introduced it) very much as a "human" love song. I can't remember whether it was Julie who introduced it as a song about a person loving God or whether Lucy explained one time that when Julie wrote it that was her intent but to Lucy it had less spiritual meaning, but in either case, I still can't get that out of my mind when I hear either of them sing it. I still really like listening to Julie Miller, but now I think about her original meaning for a moment, and as a very non-spiritual person, that very slightly reduces the amount of enjoyment I receive. I can't blame Julie at all for wanting to share with people what she was feeling when she wrote the song -- any different feelings I may have about the song as a result are solely MY issues to deal with, of course... > Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2002 09:42:48 EDT > From: Jimcolbert@aol.com > Subject: [RS] emotions and imagery and whatnot > > In my eyes, then, David didn't do his job that night.
