A song about the unexpected sadness of becoming a mother.
Kate found words for feelings that many feel, but are almost taboo to talk about directly.
"Fruit hangs heavy on the vine"
Fruit of the womb weighs heavy on the heart.
"There's no gold in California"
Nor at the end of the rainbow. Motherhood may not be the ultimate fulfillment of a woman's life, as girls were once taught.
"Hills turn brown! in the summer time"
Hills, remeniscent of a swollen belly, associated with brown grass, a symbol of something dying. Children bring great joy, but also a sadness for something lost.
"A time when love longs for a name"
When the romantic love between a man and a woman results in the conception of a child.
