the song's name... is it because of Joan Miro, the painter?

The name is derived from the Book 'Speaker For The Dead', Miro Rebeira. Ender's stepson. There is a light that says

"Shadows and living trees, reach out to embrace me."

In Xenocide there is a scene where the Buggers(Formics) show themselves to the humans of Lusitania. They appear as shadows in the night, but everyone knew they were the creatures of their nightmares, shadows. There is an alien race on this planet that turn into trees when their piglike resembling body passes from this life to what they call the Third life, living trees.
