This song is clearly about the mayor of San Francisco (a hilly seaside town) performing marriages for homosexual couples. I think that this is the best song off of her newest CD. I gave it to one of my best friends and her girlfriend, who happens to be from San Francisco, to listen to and told them they have to use it at there wedding. One of the things that has always impressed me about Vienna is her ability to write songs from the point of view of other people and still have them seem genuine. As a Heterosexual Female it is impressive for her to write songs from the points of view of people ranging from a homosexual who is finally being able to marry the person they love after being together for ten years, (just as a side note the average lifespan of a heterosexual marriage in America today is less then 10 years) to a male truck driver finding insight into life from a chance meeting with someone from where he grew up, to a pregnant woman who is contemplating an abortion. All of these are situations she has never been in and I think it’s her empathy that makes her such a fantastic songwriter and musician.
Yes, this song is inspired by the brief window from February 12 to March 11, 2004 when the Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, legalized gay marriage.
