It's a great song and record. She's an excellent singer. I know Harriet Wheeler's friend Tara Kooperman. As a New York songwriter for 18 years ('80's-'90's) who's also the same age as Harriet, I can tell you how these things are made. She probably had the title and then made a poem. The "little souvenir" represents a child, but most likely is also a book, since during the break-up fight in the storyline, she tells him that all she really loved was that he was cultured and he probably gave her the book as a first present. In "the shed", she likely gave him unconventional sex many times. (plural: "memories"). The character's now more mature and blushes at how much she desired him.
It's a sad, yet pretty tune from 20 years ago! Thanks for keeping it alive. (Chappell sure forgot they have it in their catalog.) Great arrangement by her (now) husband and his melody is obviously coaxed by her vocal range and musical ideas.
@Gerardcanta1 stop fucking lying. you're not a songwriter, you don't know anyone attached to the band, you're just desperately trying to seem special, on some meaningless message board on the internet. go self-delete, it's literally the best thing you can do to contribute to the world around you. lying, delusional, piece of infectious sub-human waste. un-fucking-real.
