I have to say I like it because I have fewer expectations, maybe. I came to Kate later, Red Shoes time. I really really like the subject matter of the song and the lyrics. Definitely want to listen to it more. However, I, like the rest of you, am hoping there is more variety on the album. I wouldn't want an entire album of songs just like this. fleur On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 12:44 PM, Tim Jones-Yelvington wrote: > It's quite odd, but I think I like it.
