Quote from: "blackvulture"
A summer day in 2002, she sat in a Seattle hotel room, looked out over the puget sound, saw the whales... it basically wrote itself :)


you skipped the GOOD part!

she thought to herself: "I wonder what it'd be like to be a whale" (not her exact words to herself.)

I always thought it was a song about being high on something. It has that slow, yet comfortable, but know too happy sound to it. I love it. I can only imagine how it will sound live on this tour. 8O  8)  :wink:

Hmmm...I believe she mentioned at some point that She Floats is about "the euphoria of being dead"? I also remember seeing an interpretation of it as a song about suicide...both interpretations work for me, all though the quote from V comes from a sort of unreliable Rolling Stone interview (that Rolling Stone interview :roll: ), and the suicide one sounds a bit more poetic...
