Album Title
The new set's title comes from a song she recorded by the same name—not from Erica Jong's 1973 novel. "I wasn't aware of the book, but someone later brought it to my attention," says the singer.

It's about handling things like an adult, knowing you must have faith to make anything happen."

“What a long strange trip it’s been.”

“Down the road, on the right hand, on Brister’s Hill, lived Brister Freeman, “a handy Negro,” slave of Squire Cummings once.... Not long since I read his epitaph in the old Lincoln burying-ground, a little on one side, near the unmarked graves of some British grenadiers who fell in the retreat from Concord,—where he is styled “Sippio Brister,”MScipio Africanus he had some title to be called,—”a man of color,” as if he were discolored.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
