After playing "Chattanooga" and "Portadown Station" on repeat, I think this is the next candidate... I love the way she talks about love and relationships here... "this is not make-believe".... so pretty and simple...

yeah, this is probably #1 or 2 on my list so far - I need to look more at the lyrics, but I love the sound  |

As a LDR girl, this song fit perfect to me.

So why is "hell is the only place you can be free of all love's pain"?

Presumably, there is no love at all in Hell. GFM |

See, but then I'd have to wonder how she perceives the love experienced in Heaven in the everafter, you know? I get her point, but I'd argue that we love imperfectly. But I'm feeling way too crappy today to parse lyrics. GFM |

But I'm feeling way too crappy today to parse lyrics. GFM but I think the idea is that in heaven all things are perfected, so we will no longer love imperfectly - and the hurt associated with our earthly love will no longer be a problem. but someone more educated on the theology of heaven might have something else to say... that's just how I read the lyrics right now... |

See, no, I agree. But the line is that Hell is the only place ... so yeah, confusion! GFM |

Dude... it's a CS Lewis quote!
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."
No one else got that?!
(only my favorite Clive Staples quote OF ALL TIME. Just for that line AND the Joni quote in the liner notes... AND the thanking of Madeleine elsewhere.... so much love for Sandra!!)
**edited to put in full quote. BEcause it's so freaking awesome.

I'd argue that it's an allusion and not a direct quotation.  GFM |
