This song so deserves a higher average score of 6.5.

I believe in the soul, just not religion, or any systems of thought.

I suspect they wanted to be a real RnR group.  Can't do that w/out a GOOD drummer.  Maybe they just need a better one.

Huh. Is that what happened to them? At one point I really liked them, but then I started to find them annoying. I thought my tastes had evolved, but maybe their music just got.....annoying.

As many times as I've heard this song on my MP3 player or here at RP, I STILL love it. The lead-in to the live version is hysterical - they banter back and forth about Galileo and how he was forced to recant, but he was pardoned a few years ago so everything's okay... and somewhere there's a cow in a field saying, "'Bout time."  "Lookin' at the stars.... Mooo."

I love Indigo Girls.

Moooo.{#Bounce}

Never get tired of this...or anything from this staggering record!  Their Poseidon and the Bitter Bug had some amazing tunes on it, but THIS, whoah — THIS record, all of it, just cuts to the quick, every time.  Thanks, Bill and Rebecca for all the precious memories!
I have always been curious if that was Lyle Lovett singing in the back there on some of the tracks, too...anybody know?

I had this on my MP3 player while I was watering the plants and trees at the nursery - and it always put a smile on my face, even as it made me wonder about the human race and the cosmos... Without going into detail, I'll just say that this song made me rethink my views on God, creation, karma, and the afterlife.

Nope, not telling. It's between me and whoever I decided is worthy of awe or admiration.  The song itself is just wonderful. It makes me smile and look more closely at a flower or a bumblebee.  {#Sunny}

I was the sound man for a band that opened for the "girls" in a bar in Santa Fe. We went for tacos at a local stand and were gone for about an hour. When we came back they were still playing the same song. At least it sounded like the same song, just like this sounds like the same song. Sorry, but I feel that their music is rather mono thematic and way past the due date.

Where do you get that interpretation from? The lyrics seem pretty straightforward to me: The singer assumes that Galileo's soul has reached perfection and is thus at rest, and wonders how many more times she'll have to die and be reincarnated before she reaches perfection as well.

Yes! Please! I have always disliked this duo. They always struck me as trying too hard to be smart and/or clever. {#Rolleyes} They also have the special place in my mind as having done the worst cover ever, by their EPIC FAIL of Dire Straits "Romeo and Juliet"

That must be it - the Indigo Girls do generate strong opinions because of their strong feminist positions, and rightly so. They probably figure that if they're not winding some folk then they're not getting their points across. I like the lyrics to this one as they're quite funny, and are a pretty droll ironic commentary on hippie-type males, such as I used to know who would live with their heads in the karmic clouds but had a strong line in guilt-tripping and moralism to us imperfect and unenlightened ones. Not that they were too proud to accept our help on practical matters, such as free pints and smokes.


So, could you call them "karmic Bogarts?" {#Think} (Hope that translates){#Cowboy}

A favorite IG songs of mine.  This and Language or the Kiss are probably my two favorites.  That being said, these ladies have several metric f-tons of great songs.  Interesting open guitar tunings, great harmonies, thoughtful lyrics.  There may be a half-dozen stinkers, but most everything I've ever heard from them was an accomplishment to be proud of.
