Okay, here's another one for you:
The obvious meaning of 'wings for Marie/ 10,000 days' being well established, (Excellent unfolding work, nothing to add on that note) what about another, less obvious, maybe more universal layer.
If one wishes, one can read read the 'wings for Marie/ 10,000 days' lyric in a wider, more spiritual sense. Judith Marie can also be understood as the Universal Mother, Judith (http://xrl.us/Judith) - Mary Magdalene (http://xrl.us/magdalenemary) or even god's own mum (http://xrl.us/godsmum) , claiming back her Wings at the Gates of a Religion that has been dewomanized for ages. For centuries, the church has systematically profaned the image of women and downplayed the importance of mothers. Isis (Mary), The Mum, has virtually disappeared from the WASP scene. Though Hispanics seem to remember her.
Magdalene is portrayed as a whore in the known gospels. Her own gospel has recently been rediscovered. The book of Judith is deuterocanonical -not included in the common bible- .
Maynard calling upon Judith the Invincible / Mary Star of the Sea through his own mum, to trickle some water (or rather pour down in torrents, if you listen to the thunder sounds on the 2nd track) into the dessicated established church would make sense in the light of the other 'personal but universal' stuff like Vicarious and The Pot.
