Hi Emily.....
I am moved to the core by TI. I find Turbulent Indigo moody,
sad, empowering, wonderful, passionate, powerful, and
hauntingly close to home. Very stirring. Magdalene laundries
is particularly difficult for me to listen to. It is ridden
with so much pain and despair.
And yes, that story within the Magdalene Laundries is
horrifying and unfortunately a lot more common than not.
As for Michael's suggestion that Magdalene Laundries may be
considered a protest song for the 90's, I agree and I would
like to add: the personal IS political.
take good care,
Mags
