@[rbraxley:18861] I agree with you. i don't see why it is supposed to be about two women. It clearly relates to mental health issues and finding joy ;later in life and two people forming a relationship.

I believe that this song is sung in two voices. First that of a woman who suffers from OCD (woman of voices), who has stopped having relationships with men (fights off her need) because she has enough to deal with, but isn't really happy. Secondly, the voice of a man, who has had an equally unhappy life, caused by having relationships with married women (the poisonous apple), and as a result doesn't really understand love and made no emotional progress. The two meet, later in life, and this is very beneficial for both (orchestras, timpani etc, - for her), (She gave me the language that keeps me alive - for him) and concludes "aren't WE aging well". A beautiful, intelligent song , lovely to listen to on any level. This is what it means to me anyway. i wonder what it means to Dar williams? |
