You'll experience a progression of remarkably good songs and unequaled melodies. Every track is saturated with an amazing sense of grandeur, the quiet and peculiar beauty of the title track being the record's pinnacle.
The pleading and soulful vocals attain heights of emotion rarely heard...and it's this voice that touches you inside. Certain records capture a moment in your life and hold onto it forever. Every time you listen, you go back there...and words can't describe it. This is one of those records. ...show less
