A cri de coeur! Where are the women who write weird, metaphor-laden personal songs about their fraught relationship with the Lord? Are there Sufjanes out there? I would really like music by women, in just about any genre, with lots of Christian stuff (they don\u2019t have to be actual believers, just people with really intense relationships with God and the Church) and not prettified but raw. Not Avengers-type stuff about anger at the Church, or anyway not only that, but about complex longings in which doubt and faith interweave.<\/p>\n

And I admit I don\u2019t go for Sinead O\u2019Connor, who I suspect is the real answer to my question, so I guess I\u2019m asking if there are other answers. Tell me on twitter @evetushnet or email eve_tushnet@yahoo.com \u2026<\/p>\n
