Post your favorite lyrics.
I'd post mine, but there's a 2000 character limit -- and I'd come off as a sissy.

They do have the same nose, but I'm not seeing it in the hair, cheekbones, jaw, mouth, eyes, or anything else. Maybe they're soul siblings?

That was the idea, yes. They treat...certain themes...very similarly. Maybe. Bic is more mature, of course.

I'm just happy whenever I run into anyone that actually knows who Bic Runga is. Favorite lyrics? How about: "Your face could light the bitter dark of every street in every town I'll ever go."

The problem with quoting Bic's lyrics (now that I think about it) is that they are too well matched to her voice. Her words are often the best sort of poetry, and some do stand on their own quite nicely -- but most benefit immensely from her vocals, adding about a dozen dimensions that just can't make it onto paper (or travel via electrons). I'll have to think about my answer.

I totally agree, though. You can quote her all you want but it still won't match the intensity of the sung lyric.
