It's gorgeous. :) *listening to Universe* - - The little woof that starts "weight" is a perfect start to the album. Its like it is walking into the living room of your mind, setting its fat ass down and you know its not going anywhere for a while. And you don't want it to 8-} - - The Women/Song #2 version of "I Know" - "the fact that you can buy a woman makes me want to die" This has such incredible power in this version. There is an incredible anger, anguish, sorrow and frustration all in this line by Sarah. I had heard the Universe version many times, but when it got to this line on WS2 it blew me away. - - Angel: "it was november and I think I pissed him off" I love incongruous and humorously flippant lyrics like this. It so works for this song. - - piano opening to "Universe" - it echoes sort of coldly, like it is being played in an empty room, or an empty universe. I think its a pretty damn appropriate effect. - - What Julian said about John the 23rd. The piano work is magnificent here. - - John the 23rd- 2:33 The harmony "A plague of stars" is just plain ethereal. - - John the 23rd- 3:24 This layered harmony just gives me goose pimples. Always. I am a sucker for a wall of self-harmony and wow is this one good. This is definitely my "Best" Best Moment... I forgot to add Twin moon to that list. 8-} - -Brian (thinking that if this was supposed to be a thread, I probably shouldn't have chosen so many moments from the only disc Sarah has available.) - -- Brian Wilson -----------------------"Those aren't Sex muffins! -Coach bloo@blooberry.com ------------------Those aren't Love muffins! http://www.blooberry.com/ -----------Those are just BLOOberry muffins!"
