Stephen Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I wonder if this song has something to do with the Anne Sexton poem "45 Mercy Street." Peter Gabriel has a song based off it. https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/45-mercy-street/ "In my dream, drilling into the marrow of my entire bone, my real dream, I'm walking up and down Beacon Hill searching for a street sign - namely MERCY STREET. Not there. " Link to post Share on other sites

Herfaceremains Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Wow...Confused that Looking for Mercy was not conveyed as a major player on the album in the majority of reviews. One of her career highlights! Absolutely gorgeous ballad that will stand up there with her greatest! The longing, and the triumph! Flawed flawed by design, please please sympathize!

Just shows how useless those reviews are, especially critics. Even the positive ones, somehow missed the mark. How many of them bothered to mention just how cosmic and spiritual and metaphysical this album actually is? Batuka alone gives me chills! Link to post Share on other sites
