I'm glad you love this song as well, Bobo. Everything about it is wonderful. Lyrics for me are the least priority in a song but in this song, they are great:

'Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor'

It's those two lines taht get to me - fantastic stuff :)

Do you also like 'Tomorrow' ?

''I see you falling,
How long to go, before you hit the ground?
You keep on screaming,
Can't you see me here? Am I ghost to you?

Now your grips to strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Goota keep faith that your luck will change,
Tomorrow...''

Great, great track imo :)
