This song is informed by a powerfully important historical narrative.
Skewering utopian pipe dreams.
'Manifest Destiny'.

I like the string synths.
Others at the time criticised Don Henley for using them instead of strings.

This is glorious.
It's like both the sunset and California sinking into the sea...

It is over.
Apart from the first two tracks and the final one, it offered little that interested me. Generally, everything needed to be faster and less produced.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

I wonder if that's Providence on the far right?

It's probably NYC in truth.
Manhattan Island with the Brooklyn Bridge spanning the East River to its right.

I like it.
For me, it's slightly better than OOTN.
It does sag a bit in the middle, but HC and the last three songs are beezer.
Infinitely unfashionable and largely derided...
★★★★

I've become quite good at recognising different NY bridges thanks to Netflix, and I believe that is the Brooklyn Bridge, yes.
Constructed 1870-1883, and the painting is from 1872, so it checks out.

Ultimately I would prefer to listen to OOTN than this album.
Though I'd probably prefer to watch a film incorporating the Brooklyn Bridge to either.
