When Ani's at her best, her metaphors have this incredible cleverness and power. Ie. the mute song bird, at once a lovely image of natural attraction saddened by its muteness, and also a biographical reference to Ani herself--able to sing in front of a crowd yet as speechless as anyone else sometimes.
This song transports me back to grade 12 instantly, it spoke right to my soul then.
