I'm super sleepy, so one listen before I hit the bed, but I HAD to listen!!
Seeds We Sow - GREAT opener! I love the ending guitar part...it's stunningly gorgeous. I love the echoing of "seeds we sow".
In Our Own Time - What a great melody! Such a great shuffle-esque quality to it. I know this will sound strange, but it reminds me of some Wild West tune.
I have no idea.
Illumination - I loved this when I heard it from his live concert. This version sounds more contained, so I like the live version better, but this is such a freaky cool song! The waterfall effect of that guitar is mesmerizing.
Such a catchy chorus too. Earworm.
That's the Way Love Goes - First impression is video game lullaby. LOL Oh Lindsey. I prefer the versus over the chorus...those versus give me a lump in my throat and I'm not entirely sure why. They sound so tender, I think. This sounds like it could have gone on GOS.
Stars Are Crazy - The melody of the opening guitar is friggin' gorgeous. I think this one is better live too. His voice soars on it. The acoustic guitar porn on this album is INSANE.
I like that the song mentions stars and it sounds so ethereal.
When She Comes Down - Am I crazy that the chorus sounds almost gospel-ish? Interesting! I love when he lets his voice soar. There is so much going on in this song...good gravy.
Rock Away Blind - HUGE smile on my face when he got to the chorus. That guitar work is....there are no words.
And there are the tears welling up at the ending guitar. GORGEOUS.
One Take - HOLY CRAP. The quickness in his delivery! Hello Bad*SS Lindsey! HA!
Gone Too Far - This has an 80's feel to me. I love the 80's so I dig it!
End of Time - Oooh, when it started I sang "What's the world comin' to." EEK!!
Thank goodness it wasn't that song. Heh.
She Smiled Sweetly - I've always liked this song. What a terrific ender! I like the new recording of his vocals.
Bonus Tracks:
End of Time (Acoustic Version) - I definitely like this better than the album version. It's just this side of country/pop to me. There goes that soaring voice again! YAY!
Seeds We Sow (Electric Version) - WTH? LOL Well, this is some spacey stuff. I'm not liking this really. I prefer the album version.
