Jeez, I can't believe more people haven't posted on this song... I can't believe after reading ideas for years I finally signed up. Providence, ahhh, such a beautiful song. To me, this song symbolizes a raw love - one in which you love the person but with terms that were never defined or remain uncertain, the kind of power with another person that you can ignore and/or be annoyed with and yet that force when together feels overhwheling and it is always a wonder that since this is the case that there is not more effort to make it come to some kind of "normal" fruition... this person gives you the silent shivers that you speak of with no one else because only the two of you understand and still understand there is some kind of dichotomy that keeps you separate - not alone but separate. When you have these feelings for a person and there is no closure between wither of you on either end there is always the question of why...and when there is unfinished business, as Ani puts so eloquently, there is always something more you want to question or say - frustrated, half-longing and always wanting just the beautiful kiss to make things feel ok for the self... but no matter what this song itself ends with longing and lack of answers.
