To me, this song is about the awful times in life that are sent to us as a gift of change for the good.

My Interpretation

And this is a side note about the album itself. First of all let me say that I am a sound guy. There are certain things about the production of this album that are unusual.

All of the songs just end. Every time.

The reverb type on lead vocals does not match the rest of the parts.

There are other small peculiarities through the album.

OK, what is with the 20+ minutes of crickets/nature sounds? It just goes on and on. And if you listen to it carefully, it's just the same sound clip over and over.

would you categorize these peculiarities as a good thing, or bad?

yes, her songs follow atypical song structures, but that's one of the things that makes her music so good imo.
