How her life and experiences inspire her work is something I have to be careful to balance as I do not want to stray into a deeply personal area as her own spiritual beliefs. As this blog is not about Kimbras private life, I do not want to speculate or theorize about it as that would be an invasion of her privacy and not my place to do so. (In a number of interviews, Kimbra has mentioned her belief system to some degree. This is most significant considering where Act 2 of the album is heading and what this song starts to hint at later on and how the Kimbra/Hybrid character is evolving. The first is the fact that in some religious practice, Saturday is a Holy Day and it takes on many different forms depending upon the practice. In the Wiki article above, there are about as many historical references to the significance of Saturday as you can imagine but two of them stick out. It dawned on me a few days later what I had missed and it just adds a whole other hue to the layers that I was looking at! Though I was on the right track, I took some detours and found a different road that, though quite colorful and informative, I missed a whole other street filled with possibilities and clues! I got a hint from Kimbra that there was more going on by her wishing people a Happy Sabbath via a reposted video from below, (scroll down to the video below of the Gospel choir), on the Saturday after the original posting of this review. The word is mentioned at the top of both of the main verses and in wanting to get to the more esoteric of theories about mirror images and fracturing etc., (which I am not recanting just explaining how I bowled over my own thoughts), failed to look into the possibilities of the significance of Saturdays! … (and I have missed a whopper from the first bloody line)! In being thourough though, one can at times miss the more obvious things while prattling on about this and that, As I have been working on these reviews I find, that in general, I have analyzed just about every aspect of them from individual words and their possible multiple meanings within various contexts to more generalized scenarios.
