One, of the many things that make her lyrics so wonderful, is her complete honesty. You feel her living through these songs. Umbrella has always been my favorite album by them. It's such a mood album, capturing and holding it 'till the very end. Karen Peris is a very special person!
What amazing lyrics!! How much God must love humankind if such songs exist to bless one's ears and heal one's soul and restore one's spirit. God bless the Innocence Mission. They do accomplish their mission quite successfully!
I agree completely with the rapturous love for this song and the band in general. LOVE the Cocteau Twins influence (particularly prominent around 2:57 and onwards). I'm so looking forward to replacing my old copy of this disc, which for some insane reason, I no longer have!
This is the best damn song. This might be my favorite Innocence Mission song ever. The ending turns into this huge swirling beautiful thing that's unbeliveable.

This is one of the most incredible song ever created by anyone in history
it's just heart wrenching to such human expression of pain, truth and hope.
The Innocence Mission..should be in the hall of Fame
they are so underrated and so magical like the Cocteau Twins

Thank you.

Karen Peris.... the greatest, most underrated singer/songwriter on this earth. Shockingly and gorgeously beautiful and evocative.
