"do you find yourself being really suspicious of happy families? does that just creep you out? happy families with nicely manicured bushes? haha. i got such an attitude about well-adjusted families who choose to come together, experience each other. cause it's nice." LOL. yes, i am suspicious of them love it. :)
@revolutionrae Ani is singing about understanding and not being angry anymore. I feel ya about happy families but everyone has their struggles. My family is totally fucked! But they are the only family I get and most of the time I can just laugh at the madness and try not to repeat it. Much love to you and your family
Ani wrote it about watching her parents fight as a child, and how now that she is an adult, she "gets it" and is no longer angry. But the song has so many other applications... When I shout this song out to someone in particular (which I have never done until RIGHT now)--its because I love Ani, and love the song, and find it inspirational. Like any good poet, Ani would say to make her song yours. Open and allow the lyrics to apply to friendships, or old relationships. Or current ones.
ILOVE HERRRR...

"This is a song I wrote about my family.. and make sure not to play when they're around.."
Love. Her.
My bio-dad's last words to me were "Don't call me, I'll call you." This song means a lot to me.
