And then there are those that you just skip by. But then after awhile you begin to actually listen to those songs you usually skip by, and you begin to like them more and more. Well one example of this is on YWGTTM, songs like Kick in the Ass and Medicine Show really stick out and grab your attention (as most good upbeat uptempo songs should do) and songs like Lee and Love Set Fire kinda seem dull in comparison (at first). As of recently I just got my copy of YWGTTM back from a friend and one of the songs that now stands out the most for me is Love Set Fire. Before now I just hadn't heard the beauty of the song. But now when i listen to it, it really does strike something inside of me. Murray's voice just seems to be perfect during it. You know that your listening to a good song when you get goosebumps from just listening to it. - -Eric HellHotel@tmbg.org Http://i.am/HellHotel **************************************************************************** fruvous: (froo`ves)n 1.

"Love Set Fire" smacked me on the ass about two months after the record was released. Much as I hate to admit it, I would almost always skip that track (CD's CAN be evil, ya know). Then after giving it a chance, it became the richest song on the album for me: Murray's soulful take & lyrics, along with dead-on 'backhanded' production just make that track pure magic. But yeah, ya gotta be LISTENING, 'cause that track doesn't have any added sugar. It just ripens on the vine.

As a musical theatre major in college who has had little patience for much in that vein since the 80s (give me Rodgers and Hammerstein or Sondheim thank you very much), all I can say is this is the most exquisite musical, though really more like an operetta. I would give anything to be in a local performance of it (and Dana is perfect for the Little Girl) except I know I couldn't get through it without crying. If you see a woman in a blue Odyssey (soon to have license plate FRUHEAD) sobbing while driving, it's because the soundtrack cassette is in (instead of my Moxy mix, in which case I'd just be singing at the top of my lungs).
