Oh, Hejira NYC who can go point by point, but just on the homes you mentioned: you know how lonely Stevie said the house felt. In fact, it probably got more of a work out when she recorded in it than it has ever had since she purchased it.
When she first toured it as a prospective buyer, she fell in love with it because it had been owned by a family. She felt their activity and spirit inside. Then, when she purchased it and moved in herself, she felt the loss of that family life. She realized that what she loved was the family atmosphere, rather than the house itself. So, that's why she spent most of the time in her condo instead. I think that anecdote is a metaphor for so much that she feels.
