She'll Take You There

"'I went off on my little theory or rant about what I believe all music says, and it all says, "You are not alone." Even the most vile, disgusting heavy metal music is saying to someone sitting in their bedroom that they are not alone,' Tweedy said. 'There are two consciousnesses at work. Maybe it was too metaphysical to get into at the time, especially since we didn't know each other very well, but she responded to it. She said, "That's the name of a song."'"
