I too wish the song had more lyrical depth. After all her grand proclamations we've heard for years about this tune, the lyrics definitely don't live up to the hype. Musically, it's catchy, though. It's interesting, I expected this song to be something special, and for Soldier's Angel to be absolutely an abomination. It turned out quite the opposite!
I like it a lot lyrically. She captures the spirit of New Orleans. It's not a sad song. More of a hopeful song. I really like Soldier's Angel too. That song has unique perspective and musically adds more depth to the album.
