Undertow and Tender are very sweet. Barton has grown on me, but it took a while. Love Funeral Suit now more than in the beginning. I still can't get into Prayer, but I read she wrote it for a friend who lost a spouse. If I got that message in a sympathy card, I would be very moved. Having the lyrics now really helps. Now I'll be a nerdy scholar and try to interpret all the line and hidden subtext. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll scan it when I'm back at work tomorrow.
I like that she turned the poem Anahorish into a song. I haven't heard of many musicians doing that, but my music interests are very limited. Songs are essentially poems, in my opinion. I would love it if someone would sing Neruda!
