That's a weird self-centric quirk with Stevie. Anytime she writes a song with a topical subject, she addresses it with a self-centered perspective. Illume is a great example. She happened to be in New York when 9-11 happpened. It was a huge tradegy; many people lost their lives. So she was inspired to write a song about it, but it was oddly emotionally disconnected to the event, and more about her burining insense and candles to dispel the smell!
