I was thinking about the Ninth Wave today, and decided to listen to
the baktabak interview disc for The Dreaming and HOL. What I realised
I'd forgotten about was that TNW isn't about a woman (i.e. kate) but a
man who spends a night in the water
                            I don't know what a baktabak interview is Jack
but does it have anything to do with the actuality of the songs in the
ninth wave.I quote
          Waking the witch
   '' You won't burn
     You won't bleed
    *Confess to me girl- go down*
later in the song
    
    *She's a witch*
(Help this blackbird, there's a stone around my leg) 
    *Uh, Damn you woman!*


I don't mind finding out something I thought was true was wrong but what
your saying doesn't fit, l would appreciate if you could explain to me how
your interpretation fits with the words of the songs.
   
   TO Don, my appologies for my little outburst the other day but l come
from a culture that suffers a bit from American Imperialism and l can have
a bit of a short fuse when you guys run down others, l will keep myself
better under contrl in future.
