I had the same thought, Dave...looking at my fave Hejira, the majority of the songs have a direct reference to some spiritual or religious item: Coyote: And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play Amelia: It was the hexagram of the heavens Hejira: In the church they light the candles Song For Sharon: I'm headed to the church to play Bingo Refuge Of The Roads: Muscular with gods and sungold I can't really see anything in the others to make an argument for their inclusion; still, as you say she is deeply concerned with spiritual imagery/ideas in her writing, and I would dare say that well over 50% or her work reflects that in some form. It may be what makes her such a good writer in that she tries to bring together spiritual, emotional, philosophical, physical concepts. Bob NP: Dave Matthews Band, "Bartender"
