Yes, I love Miranda. I had to make myself stop playing it, so I wouldn't burn out on it. Also, even though people don't like Stevie's vocals tacked on to many of the GOS songs, with Miranda, I believe her vocals added to the song. There's a flat, dissonant quality that suggests someone removed from reality in the tone, which expresses the message beautifully and with mystery.
When I was growing up, there was a song called Angie Baby about a girl descending into madness and I think Miranda strikes me in the same way as that one did.
And really, I thought the lyrics were stellar and opened the door to the great word work that Lindsey would also display throughout UTS.
