This woman uses no synthesizers or anything. The content is good, but "hell" is used in one song. This is a great album

What Parents Need to Know
About Eye to the Telescope
Parents need to know that if they're trying to read the song lyrics in the liner notes before playing the CD in front of the kids, there's a photograph obscuring several lines of the first four songs. But, there's no offensive language or inappropriate subject matter in any of KT's songs -- so there shouldn't be a problem sharing the tunes with the kids.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about using creative language to tell stories through song. What does Tunstall mean when she says things like "she's an iceberg waiting to change"? And do you think that she's really talking to a big, black horse under a cherry tree? Or is she speaking metaphorically? There's a lot of symbolism and vivid imagery that would be great to generate conversation with older kids -- and perhaps inspire them to take pen to paper.
