i like things that suggest of sex, like the flash of a lacy bra under a plain top, a shared glance, or a sensual movement - the way she runs her hand down over her hip with quiet intention or casually traces the lines of her neck.

in today's oversexed, undersexy world the demure is highly underrated...

...this is my newest favourite suggestive lyric. it's harmer's sweetly innocent delivery that sets my spine a tingling.

"some might say i'm thinking in sin...so i'll just sit back and take you in. you're a map of a place maybe one day i'll go, with thoughts of you i am aglow".

- "i am aglow" from i am a mountain by sarah harmer

I never would have interpreted it quite that way. Sarah does have a history of salacious lyrics, dating back to Weeping Tile:

"Torwards the Citadel
That's where he's bound
to get passed around like a jooooooooint
account"

"Joint Acc't", Cold Snap

i love weeping tile, i saw them play long ago at the grawood, opening for the watchmen.

i also love sarah, i've seen her play at folk fests and the like but the best thing ever was when i saw her rock david bowie tunes at bearly's open mike. now that was a show not to be missed.
