All That We Let In, 2004
Written by Amy Ray
A song about a love that went awry somewhere; the addressee found being true "hard to do." Ray muses on how love can flicker and fade: "Ain't it funny how we lose one day / And a lifetime slips away." But what sets this apart fro other lost love song is Ray's empathetic, humanistic view. The love is still there; parts of you are always in the one you once loved. The memories are good enough for a lifetime. "At least you were mine / If not for all time / Enough to hold / Or at least enough for me to hold you." I am always enthralled by Ray's poetic and rational worldview.
