What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



A gift from a mate. Much better than their first one as a duo. If not for the last track, would have made the love
rank. Only two albums as a team and this one was nine years after the debut. A lot of time for change. Solo
projects were in that gap. Love four tracks on here with that leadoff being the best. Tough call with track two's
strings making it a fight. Two different producers involved here, on different tracks, Mitchell Froom (Crowded
House) and Tony Visconti (Bowie). Showing singles of Won't Give In, Nothing Wrong With You, Edible Flowers, and
Part Of Me, with the highest charting being Won't Give in at #26 in the U.K. Didn't these chart in the homeland
down under? Strange, as the album shows at #2, with a #8 in Britian. Sometimes wiki is not complete. No single hits
in the U.S. with the album at a weak #139. Seven years since this album, and it would justify a third. Those first
two tracks are just beautiful.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Gentle Hum

Best Track - Won't Give In

You call me up and I'll say a few words
But I'll try not to speak too long
Please to be kind and I'll try to explain
I'll probably get it all wrong
What does it mean when you promise someone
That no matter how hard or whatever may come

It means that I won't give in, won't give in, won't give in
'Cause everyone I love is here
play it once, and disappear. (not - Take me home. Take me home)

Once in a while I return to the fold
With people I call my own
Even if time is just a flicker of light
And we all have to die alone
What does it mean when you belong to someone
When you're born with a name, when you carry it on

It means that I won't give in, won't give in, won't give in
'Cause everyone I love is here
All at once, and I'll show you how to get here

Come on now, come on now, can you feel it, I can see it in ya
Come on now, come on now, reveal it, turn around won't ya
The right time, the right place, right now, turn around

A chance is made, a chance is lost,
I carry myself to the edge of the earth

It means that I won't give in, won't give in, won't give in
'Cause everyone I love is here
Say it once, just say it, and disappear
