Cover art for School Night lyrics by Ani DiFranco

An absolutely gorgeous song. A theme that seems to appear in a lot of Ani's music seems to be that of choices and trying to find a balance between things. She makes the lyrics: "you are a miracle but that is not all you are also a stiff drink and i am on call you are a party and i am a school night and i'm looking for my door key but you are my porch light" sound anything but trite and insipid. It all seems to be about having to make a decision to let go of something or someone and finding the balance between what one wants and actually needs.
