I think her use of metaphors and other references in 'Liar' is interesting:
IMO, the song is definitely about Eddie: How to read the Jack of Hearts: Traditionally the Jack of Hearts is a card of romance. In some of the older cartomancy meanings he represents a lazy, immature, emotionally insecure young man; or simply the thoughts of the Queen or King of Hearts. Although Jacks can represent young people of either sex, the Jack of Hearts is most often read as a young male. The Jack of Hearts is a young person of either sex with whom the querent feels an emotional bond or attachment. This card can represent a child of either sex, a male family member such as a son or son-in-law, brother, cousin, etc. The Jack of Hearts can also indicate a boyfriend, a male lover, or close male friend. The J♥ can be an actor or an artist. He can be a writer of poetry, or just a student of the arts. Source http://cartomancy.wordpress.com/2007...ack-of-hearts/ I always thought the "clown" lyric was a reference to the Everly Brothers song 'Cathy's Clown'... Levels of venom abound, most certainly! |

If you can empathize with the lyrics in liar then that means things aren't going that well romantically! LOL. Hope that's not the case.

I had a relationship in the past around 2005 that fell under that umbrella. Thanks for the concern, it means a lot.

It was either about him, or her new boyfriend after him. I'm of course speculating.

I think Liar is catchy enough though, but disappointingly trite. A woman who has used the words "woo me until the sun comes up, then you say that you love me" to imply lying (and her feelings about knowingly being lied to) so beautifully, pains me with Jack of Hearts, shining knight, heart of darkness, walls came tumbling down, roll of the dice, clowns. It's like someone knocked her on the head with a thick volume of adages. I wish someone would have treated the concussion. Then, we had 2 other songs with schlocky background vocals that would have fit on a 1972 sitcom. But then you had 9 other songs that held their own. Some were good and some were great. Two were some of the best of Christine's career. So, on balance, pretty good album. Michele |

I like all of them except Bad Journey and Easy Come, Easy Go.
Calumny, Northern Star and Friend are my favorites. I don't dislike Liar. I just think the lyrics are really cheesy. Michele |

I am glad to hear that Mick says she is writing again and "back in the world". God knows what has prompted this, but let's hope she releases something new!

My favorite ITM songs are Forgiveness, Calumny, Bad Journey, and the acoustic version of Friend. But I love the whole thing, even Easy Come but only because the vocal is so strong. |
