I believe it's the former. ;) Still cheesy and the whole "destiny" crap is just more rote garbage. If it's profound, so are the scrawling I found in a public toilet stall today.

Not in many years, by her own admission. :laugh:

That's why I picked it - It certainly stole MY heart away...It seems like something positive that might make more people buy it :)

Gosh, I never even thought about "rules" that other way - the traffic rules one. I understand you're checking out, but to me, if anything is Destined to do anything, it's this band. Did you see the story about Christines psychic mom telling her she' find everything in an orange grove, then lindsey and stevie lived on Orange/Grove? :eek:
Cool...

I don't think Running through the Garden sounds feminine, I think it sounds beautiful.

Come to think of it, I think Bleed to Love Her would have been a good title because it is like Lindsey talking about Stevie and is romantic and a little masculine (blood) at the same time.

I think Destiny Rules is miss-titled, it should have been "Destiny's Rules", I think that is how I have always seen it. As in, it's a song about the how you must abide by the rules and obligations of destiny, I suppose come to think of it now it also can be seen as how destiny controls everything, but I have always seen it the other way.

I think "Destiny Rules" is the most fitting for this album. After the band lost Christine, decided to continue on, and made it through the creative, album-making process proved the band will continue to success and grow once again after losing another member-----destiny rules. Perfect! :nod:
