Or a discourse marker—an acknowledgement that you understand what someone is offering? Given the intimate musical kinship with her bandmates, and the 80-plus minutes of music that follow, it could be all three: a singer wondering, asking, and assuring, all at the same time, that it’s going to be all right.
