Annie,
Despite the far from mainstream nature of this beautiful song, I don't let that deter me at all.... it has been one of my favourites for years and years, decades actually. I am an incurable romantic, as is in my opinion Gordon, and this song has the potential for becoming a classic in terms of pure melody alone - Can you imagine the LSO playing an arrangement of this song ? And, lyrically, it is, as are so many of Gord's songs, a beautiful stand-alone poem. Such is his music, wouldn't you say ?
