i will mention again (i have posted this to the list before) that CCM also
reviewed U2's _Pop_ because of their somewhat ambiguous connection to
christianity. and you let the subtle hints at something deeper in over the
rhine's music strengthen your walk with god. great, if that is what you
believe! for me, i can listen to an otr song and hear the same hints at
something deeper but have it not affect me at all or have it mean something
different.
it's all about i-n-t-e-r-p-r-e-t-a-t-i-o-n
