QUOTE [...]"We all agreed she wouldn't sing like a standard soprano, like Katherine Jenkins or Susan Boyle," Mensch explained. Instead, Fleming had to find that new voice – and become comfortable singing these songs. "I was especially fascinated by the Mars Volta song, With Twilight As My Guide, which is operatic in its scale and musical complexity. I was, however, a bit concerned about the text, specifically the reference to 'devil daughters.'" Fleming wrote to the Mars Volta's Cedric Bixler-Zavala, asking permission to change the lyrics. "Sure, she can change it," Bixler-Zavala replied, but he said the lyrics were "sarcastic" – "one huge metaphor for the [poor] way women are treated in Islamic society". Fleming was satisfied: "This explanation was enough for me."
