Music reviews of Indigo Girls
Music Review: "Nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal. As specs of dust, we're universal"
Rating: 5 Stars
"How I wish I were a trinity, so if I lost a part of me, I'd still have two of the same to live." - Love's Recovery
Other reviews of this album suggest the Indigo Girls are over the top, overly earnest and self-conscious. They suggest the Indigo Girls' lyrics don't stand up to scrutiny. I respectfully disagree. Yes, the Indigo Girls fight for positions that may always remain minority positions. Yes, they work for things that are unlikely to ever come to fruition (peace, openness, reform, etc.) But I'm glad the Indigo Girls are at least one band "singing for our side."
Another reviewer suggested "Love's Recovery" gets bogged down in weepiness. I don't fault the song for its emotionality or sadness. I wish it didn't start out with such an affected singing style by Amy. I'd enjoy hearing her sing it today, to see if she sings it with a different tone that sounds less like she's been singing too many hymns recently. The lyric "During the time of which I speak it was hard to turn the other cheek" is a little too churchy for me, but I don't fault the high degree of earnest emotion and intent in the song.
The Indigo Girls sing about possible futures, believing present cultural standards oppress certain groups and behaviors they don't feel should be suppressed. Like Ursula K. Le Guin, who writes stories about possible future worlds that are more considerate of certain sensibilities, the Indigo Girls sing about possible futures. If a person wants to listen to music that is in step with today's world, they may find the Indigo Girls over the top, overly earnest and self-conscious. But I find the Indigo Girls' lyrics hold up to rough scrutiny and criticism. And 50 years from now, I think their lyrics will reveal more universal themes than most current song lyrics.
This album is a great part of the Indigo Girls' journey that continues to change and grow. Here are some words I wrote in response to "Love's Recovery", titled: "Hopes for a Future Generation"
May those closest to you not ask you to hide your love away. May the soft spoken words made in confidence not have to be locked away.
May you be allowed to place your loyalty on more than one number on the roulette wheel. May you be able to share your history of us.
Until that future generation comes, may we do our part to bring tomorrow to today, and recognize in public what has been secreted away.
"To let this love survive would be the greatest gift that we could give." - Love's Recovery
