This, he argues, is something to be embraced and cherished and pursued.  Perhaps not with every song or story but, sometimes, leaving room for multiple interpretations invites the audience to consider and hopefully, come away with a more nuanced and less black-and-white perspective about the world around them.  Which, sad to say, seems to be less in favor today than ever.  \n\nThis episode features the songs I'll Come Around, My Bike My Love, A Wound that Never Bleeds, A Heat That Kills, and Child of God."}
