What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



One hit wonder at this point, with You're Beautiful, and it was a good one, along with the entire album. Both were grammy nominated, although failing to pull it down. I actually prefer the follow up single of Goodbye My Lover. Love this guys voice. This was his debut. He has had one other one which I haven't heard. This one topped the charts in the U.K. and hit #2 in the U.S, as well as the best selling album of the decade in the U.K. Not a bad song on here, with some excellent live clips.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Out Of My Mind

Best Track - Tears And Rain

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

Tears and Rain.

Tears and Rain.

Far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
