Calumny
Forgive me if y'all have already analyzed the hell out of this and I missed it. I'd be especially sorry about that because there's nothing I like more than analyzing the hell out of something.
I can't figure out why she uses this word in what sounds like a nice, sweet love song. I came across it while reading Hamlet, and it wasn't all that nice. According to dictionary.com, it means "A false statement maliciously made to injure another's reputation" or "The utterance of maliciously false statements; slander" I believe the origin is Biblical, and a Catholic website I read said that in some cases, a calumny is a mortal sin. And if I understand what I'm reading, Calumny is also a character in the Bible. (?) It seems to be an allegorical thing like in Everyman--there's Calumny, Jealousy, etc. Someone correct me if I have that all wrong. So, why the song? |

I'm not so sure it is a nice, sweet love song.
It's got a gentle feel to it but the words sound quite harsh. "My love sits like a curse" "Testing out our love, proving that it's gone" Although she didn't write it I think it returns to the theme of some of her older songs which sound (to me) like she's very needy. I don't care how you behave but please don't leave me. Just my view. Gail |

Great, great song. Terrific lyrics on Dan's part, terrific vocals on Christine's. One of my faves on 'In The Meantime.'

I love Norhtern Star so much more then Calumny. Calumny's all right but Northern Star's a masterpiece.
