Re Michael's post on "This Woman's work": Michael, that was a lovely post. Don't worry about trying to be macho or, on the other end of it, a wussy boy. You sound like a good person and that is what counts. The song that does it to me is "Love and Anger" - I always choke up when I hear it. Kate has said that she doesn't know exactly what the song is about. Consciously and logically that may be true, but I think it is a *perfect* description of a difficult relationship where you have some sort of bond with the other person but there are other circumstances keeping you apart. You have the love, but you also have the anger around not being able to be together, and, maybe, against the other person for getting you in this mess in the first place! So much of this song seems to speak to that - not being able to speak about these feelings, the paradox of being together (like the two strings) but being apart and wondering what you would do without the other person.... it might not make sense to Kate, but it makes sense to me :) Cheers, Fiona
