The great virtue of this was the fact they could be interpreted by the listener to mean almost anything. The songs could change meaning over time to the listener, and continue to unfold in layers. Some of Stevie's songwriting these days is definitely painfully straightforward to the point of being silly, dull, or just plain bad (what's faster than a fast car? ). That being said, she's still got better songwriting chops than the majority of current top 40 artists.
