It's just such a serene, emotive, calming song to me. In a world full of complications, full of 'I love you (conditions apply, offer available for a limited time)' this song just washes over it all so eloquently, unconditionally, and simply. It's one of those songs that calms and soothes me after a frenetic day. Reminds me that there are worthwhile things in this world. Even with the unusual yet so simply eloquent harmonies that start the song. It speaks to me simply of one's unconditional love for another. I had the Gate CD long before I got the video and even then I loved the song. Seeing the video sequences the producers chose to put to this song (or should it be the video sequences that Thomas chose to put this song to??) added even more to the song. That said, I still love the eloquent simplicity of this song listening to it eyes closed. P. This song powered by "Nuvogue" off The Gate To The Mind's Eye/Thomas Dolby "'cause I can't type fast enough from HELL!" ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V5 #196 ***************************
