lifeblood: songs: backgrounds: world falls

1991-01: shining on, the music paper:

tmp: one last question, emily. what's the significance of the album title, nomads, indians, saints?

saliers: it comes from a song of amy's called "world falls," which is about wanting to be immortal because of the beauty of life. nomads, indians, saints represents travelers, people who journey, people who aren't bound by the typical fears or insecurities that bend us human beings to the earth. it's about spiritual journeys and guests and things like that. a lot of the songs on the album have to do with that, so we chose that as the title.

1994-03: the indigo girls: the musical ties that bind, performing songwriter:

"i think 'world falls' could have been treated a lot differently. to me that song was really important - it had a lot more depth - and for some reason it just wasn't treated the way it should have been. that's the main song on that record that i really would have done differently."

200x-xx-xx: the meaning of some indigo girls lyrics:

sejarez, whom amy mentions in "world falls", is not a real person; he was a character (possibly some kind of philosopher) that appeared in one of amy's dreams.
