![]() Lara from Boston, MaSunny came home to her favorite room.she finally embraced the truth.Jess from Milton, NhThis song is about a nonfiction story, but I heard it was a story in the news about a woman who was picked on all her life, so she came back to her home town with a list of names and a plan to burn down their houses.This song helped me to deal with my own childhood. Colvin never said any of this, but is seems a plain as day to me, from the first time I heard it. There are probably other kids in the house, and she came home to confront her parents, and get the other kids to safety. Being out of her mind relates to PTSD and the ability of some abuse victims to leave their bodies during the abuse. She may have even had enough rage to dare her parents to deny it "strike a match, go on and do it". She is trying to destroy the illusion her parents had that everything was fine. For me, it is about Sunny (Sunny is a child's name, after all) coming home (as an adult) to her parent's house to face her father, who sexually abused her, and her mother, who knew all along and didn't stop it. Bill from Somewhere, MdI think the song means what you want it to mean.She said she wrote the song after watching the movie, "Reversal of Fortune." So, the statement that the song was written after the album art is incorrect. Kathy from Seattle, WaI saw Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter in concert 2 days ago and Shawn said this song was about Sunny von Bulow, if she had awakened from her coma.Both songs are about an abused wife setting fire to her house. ![]()
