I vote we keep RP as agnostic as possible. Love songs, acoustic ballads, country twang, punk rawk bombast, Motown, bluegrass, classical anything, baroque everything, metal, heavy metal, heavier metal, grunge, pop hits, b-sides, sweetness and light, introspective emo whatever, jazz, punk jazz, British Invasion, Soul, R&B classics, big band swing, Bee-Bop, classic rock, not-so-classic rock.....I love all of it.... ...but schmaltzie Christian songs are abhorent...seriously, no offense to anyone, but I'd rather eat a bag of warm poop than listen to this song ever again.  |

Gorgeous voice. If it had any kind of kick to the end, I'd have given it a ten.

I liked that set - "Stars Die" from the mighty P'Tree, then Jimi's unfortunately posthumous "Angel", then this crystalline gem of a vocal. Nice flow.

I couldn't have said any more any better. Mary is pretty much the only thing I've retained from my Catholic upbringing. I will be acquiring this song - gave me goosebumps. Glad to be listening to RP this morning (as always)!

The image of Mary "cleaning up the place" is poignant to the point of heart-breaking.

I'm Catholic. The attributes of Mary in this song can definitely be applied to Mary, Mother of Jesus, Son of God. Its a beautiful song, and in my faith can be considered a sacramental (something that helps me get closer to God).
Radio Paradise often presents songs related to the spiritual. Often I hear songs that help me think about God and my relationship with Him. I think this is by intent of the D.J, as indicated by the name chosen for the station.
In any case, this song is especially poignant today. There are many days in the year set aside to honor Mary, Mother of Jesus, and today happens to be one. It is the Feast of the Nativity of Mary, IOW, her birthday. Happy Birthday, Mary.

Hey, wait—I own this album! The iPod just pulled up the one about red shoes today and I only didn't skip it because my hands were covered with paint. I forget how great some of the other stuff on the album is . . . including this.

She always makes me sit up and take notice. Mary youre covered in roses, youre covered in ruin
Youre covered in secrets
Youre covered in treetops, youre covered in birds
Who can sing a million songs without any words
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always stay
Mary, mary, maryTwelve people gave this a ONE? WTF? |

Funny, I don't think of this song as religious so much as about the "fate of woman" - Havin babies, watchin em grow up, sendin em off into the world. How prosaic and sacred at the same time. Patty is an awesome poet.

Patty is my favorite vocalist. Not just Female, but above all.
I'm always happy when I hear a song from her, even her sad songs.
I want to have her babies.
