Yes, I stand corrected.

Sting wrote this especially for Ms. Grace for this album. gasp

Sounds like Dusty Springfield.

by Nightjar Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:36 pm

This is such an elegant, sultry coda to the album.

Something of the D.Bovvie/Young Americans about it.

This is another one that I especially like.

I was on the first ship to Peru
Charted all the courses like all sailors do
First to cross the Mason-Dixon line
Overseeing wetbacks for good Californian wine

And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again

I was there when Jenny Lind first sang
First to feel the cold Alaskan white man
First to take a trip on LSD
First to vote for Roosevelt back in '33

And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again
Yes, I've seen it
Yes, I've seen it

by Nightjar Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:38 pm

The lyrics are so enigmatic.

Magical.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:39 pm

It is over.

That was very good, even though it lagged in one or two places and some of the songs went on for too long. I think that's the first time I've heard her actually singing, rather than just talking over the music.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited
