Cover art for She Divines Water lyrics by Camper Van Beethoven

Why do I want deeper meaning to a song? You might be asking a similar question. CvB is one of the great underrated bands in American music. This track has a special quality; like much of the album, it works to grow awareness of a widening gap in American society between heroes/haves and common folks/have-nots. We are responsible for this gap. While it might seem unnatural to espouse participation in a shared mindset of such excess, we do so every time we turn on a TV or stream. We want our lives to be as warm, pink and high-flying as our favorite actresses, but it’s only a dream.
