EMILYSALIERS: Doing any circuit with my dad is great.
When Emily was in high school, singing in some state convention, they sang "Now I Walk in Beauty." It turns out that it was an old Navaho song—and it moved Emily and us to tears, it was so beautiful.
EMILY: No. In a way it takes on the Church and what they did—forcing Galileo to recant, and all the abuses of power that happen in any institutionalized gathering—but it's sort of tongue in cheek because it's also an exploration of reincarnation, not a Christian concept, per se.
EmilySaliers, daughter of Don and Jane Saliers, is co-founder, with Amy Ray, of the Indigo Girls, a Grammy Award--winning singer-song-writer duo.
Emily: The terms have little meaning for me. A song that is deemed secular is one that has nothing to do with the church, or doesn't come from a sacred text.
Emily: A song like "Power of Two" is really a love song, but it is also about what happens in sacrifice for love and what the coming together of people can mean in your life.
