Every time I hear this, its melodic poignancy catches me off guard and I am blown away...indeed, these tuneful, talented gals still have lots to offer.  Sounds great anytime, but sounded especially nice coming after Stars' "The North."

sometime after 2003 I lost almost complete interest in the Indigo Girls.  Seems like we've come full circle because I LOVE this song.

A "poacher" is by definition "one who hunts or fishes illegally on the property of another"... and that is not some derogatory name someone else calls you— that is your name for yourself... you call yourself a common thief...  if you have no respect for yourself, how can we expect you to have respect for others?

These song forums are for song comments, and I am an honest commentator...  this song is absolutely marvelous...

I'm sure you were only joking....but it got me wondering all the same.  Here's what I found:
 

What about the title of this album...there's a reference to Poseidon in your song "Fleet of Hope," but what was the impetus behind the title of the record?
Mitchell Froom came up with that and it was a joke, really. We were just sitting around doing pre-production for the record and he said, "You should call it Poseidon and the Bitter Bug," and we all burst out into laughter. For whatever reason it stuck with us. I like it because I think it's quite whimsical. And I like the fact that Poseidon is from my song and bitter bug is from Amy's song. We've never done that before. I like the joining of the two lyrics. It's fun, it's playful. The artwork is hand-drawn by our graphic artist friend, and there's a bit of whimsy to it. You can't quite put your finger on it and I like that.

Drinking Milk with Janjaweed?  Wow, now that could be dangerous.
 
The full lyric is Drinking Tea with Milk and Janjaweed.

When I first wrote this, I was kind of joking, thinking that it just sounded like Janjaweed, the genocidal militia from Sudan.  In fact, the lyric is the genocidal militia from Sudan.

Just curious, would the DJ ever follow this song with "Take Your Momma Out Tonight" by Scissor Sisters?  {#Nyah}
