It is sad that people cannot look past the exterior to appreciate the interior. These girls have raw, honest talent. Lyrically and musically they are spot on :)
My favorite. Loved this song the first time I heard it. It really helped me with the "down time" on my walkman in Panama and D Storm! Great lyrics with an intelligence shining through the fun music.
I first heard this when driving home from work, listening to BBC radio's 'Roundtable', a review programme originally begun by Emperor Rosko (remember him? - now my age is showing).
Got home and bored the proverbials off my wife enthusing about the song. Anyway, went out the next day, bought the album and fell in love with the Indigo Girls, as did the missus.
A lot of good stuff from the girls since then, but this is still one of our favourites.
I'm a manly Jarhead Marine and I've digged theses girls since my MSU days of 92'
Food for the spirit. Thought about many references my two times in the Stan. There hasn't been many 'artists' who impress me. Hot, dazzling? Sexy. It's shit. It's a can of tuna on the shelf. I dig these girls.
I've loved their music for years. Reminds me of Paul Simon lyrics with the truth and intensity (and the harmony is excellent, too). I'm straight and have been to several of their concerts (they don't come near where I live very often) and took friends to introduce them to this sound. They loved it too. The music IS universal.
@horsluva0758 Love of music "endureth forever." MUSIC is the universal language!! Enjoy it and please leave your bible-thumping rhetoric for Sunday school, where the poor children have no choice but to listen to it.
its hard to choose my all-time fave song of theirs, but this is CERTAINLY one of them. so inspiring, light, beautiful harmonies, all that and a message?? who could do better? :)
Weird, but appreciated

I used to think they were Canadian. I was wrong, of course, but I think it's an honest mistake.

I love their stuff - so amazingly deep, but yet fun in a way that profundity often lacks.
