Took notice of a phrase I never understood until today. When she’s describing her lover she talks about “cradling the softest, warmest part of you in my hands.” Later the phrase changes to “cradling the hardest, heaviest part of me in my hands.” I never got that she is holding her head in her hands. I can picture her really weighing this decision vividly.
The rhythm she plays with her guitar is pretty consistent throughout the piece. When she is talking about her lover, she and her guitar soften. When she is singing about making the decision to announce their marriage, she and her guitar become louder and more abrupt. I think she sings and plays louder to try to convince herself that she has made the right decision. As she softens again, I hear some static like sounds showing her fuzziness about her position.
