Noel,

I'll start by copying - and therefore reiterating - all that Tom said - because I thought all those same things.

This is my favorite write of yours of all that I've heard (with the exception of "What A Crazy Thing", of course smile )... Nice and tight.

The opening guitar/vocal is just right. The orchestral phrases after "stars" and "calm" are EXQUISITE!!!! The strings on "whole universe" are tasty...

The solo is sweet. Made me think of something that Glen Campbell would have added to one of his songs - does not get better than that in my book.

The strings that take it out are SO well done!

I'd say - One of your best writes. Your best vocal. Your BEST production!

A big standing O on this one, buddy...

I'll piggyback on two excellent reviews!! This is just great!! The thing that really moves me, in addition to what I've quoted, is the unabashed optimism in the song. It is really hard to write something optimistic which doesn't sound preachy or sappy. You threaded the needle with this one. Truly a gem!! Take care. Greg
