She has let some personal information go: about her friend's death being the inspiration for Cosmia, for example. Evidently, she thinks that what we know already is enough for us to interpret her songs. I mean, go nuts, but it is a little bit creepy to speculate about strangers' reproductive health.
Jordan~ wrote:I think reading infertility as a theme into the lyrics is absolutely legitimate: maternity, pregnancy, etc. are, to me, very clear themes in Joanna's work. What I'm objecting to isn't analysis of those themes, but rather, the reading into the lyrics of speculative autobiographical details (which I'm not accusing you of!).
