Strand Of Oaks – Sister Evangeline

  General Comment:This song is about a priest falling in love with a nun and how they both try to escape their guilt not only by breaking Catholic clerical policy, but having a child out of wedlock. It is so sad and wonderful.

  General Comment:this song is absolutely haunting. i think it's about a girl who seduces a boy, by getting him to love her as he's never loved before, and when he finally gives into her, it's too much and she has what she wants and she takes off with his child, and he wants something different- he wants it all and she won't let that happen, she just keeps going and he knows nothing else- i think they're both afraid. but hey, what do i know?

    I agree. It's almost as if she thinks he is following her, like it's an obsession. I think she just doesn't understand how he wants to be there for her...maybe she never had anyone that wanted that with her, and she doesn't know how to handle it. So she runs away. I could be wrong though - I'm not expert! This is a beautiful song though. :)
